Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Isolate



Recommended Posts

Has anyone used this powder Protein? I found it at costco. One scoop has 140 calories, 1 gram fat, 3 carbs (1 sugar), and 30 grams of protein. Thanks.

I got the strawberry banana flavor in a tub and just threw the rest away yesterday. It tasted okay at first but I got tired of it quickly. Even with milk I didn't like it.

I used the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% whey Protein in French vanilla, which I bought at GNC. Pre-op I also enjoyed in chocolate but after surgery I didn't care for chocolate. One scoop of vanilla has 120 calories, 3 grams carbs, and 24 grams Protein.< /p>

Thanks DonRodolfo and Isereno. I guess I'm going to buy it since it is about $60 for a 4.5 pound tub which I thought was a good deal. I'm going to be on a 2 week pre-op diet and then 4 weeks liquid post-op diet. I figure if I get tired of it when I first start out I can move it to the back of the shelf for a while and try something different for a bit. I know many people say their likes/dislikes change post surgery, so it won't hurt to have a rarity in the house.

I bought that tub at costco in vanilla shake for $49.99 last month. I have not tried it straight, but use it as a base. I have liked it just fine.

Best shake I've made with it so far - 1 scoop vanilla ON whey Protein isolate + 2 TBSP PB2 + .75 cup nonfat greek yogurt + 1/2 cup Water + 5 ice cubes + blend = yum!

I use this and really like it. It doesn't have that protein smell.

The good news is that costco has an amazing return policy. It you try it and don't like it you can return it.

DaybyDay I forgot about Costco's return policy. Thanks for the reminder.

That is so true - love costco! I had a bad reaction to the B12 I bought there, and I returned it, and easily got my refund.

I LOVE the chocolate 100% whey from costco! It is so so good! I use it as a base with a bit of almond milk and half a banana with some ice... Blend that puppy up... Yummy! Seriously.. It's fantastic.... Also if you have a vitamix blender... You can blend it longer with the ice... And it turns into ice cream!!! Seriously! It comes out so thick you can use an ice cream scooper to serve it with!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
