Who hated protein powder but found a good on?



Recommended Posts

While in my weight loss journey I tried almost every Protein Powder out there. They were nothing but disgusting. The thickness, the after taste, and just plain nastiness doesnt sit we'll with me.

Please tell me someone out there had the same reaction but found something good?

Now Sports unflavored whey isolate powder. Absolutely no flavor & it doesn't make things thick that I add it to. I can mix it with flavored water, broth, whatever. I add sugar-free Torani, DaVinci or Walden Farms syrups for variety. Now that I'm on puree foods, I mix it in those to get to my Protein goal.

The flavored powders I used before surgery now make me ill. I did try some unflavored powder from GNC while I waited for my order from Amazon. The GNC stuff did make things thick, but at least it had no flavor.

I bought vanilla flavor and then added Decaf coffee or low calorie drinking chocolate (choc/mint) with lots of ice and it definitely improved the flavour.

I agree, I use Unjury chocolate splendor powder mixed with unsweetened almond milk and then I pour it into decaf coffee over lots of ice with a shot of sugarfree Torani hazelnut Syrup.< /p>

Body Fortress chocolate was really good and very inexpensive! It taste just like chocolate milk. It wasn't gritty or too thick. It is 8 grams Total Carbs and 26 grams of protein.I tried Premier and it was disgusting.

I liked Premier before surgery but now it makes me nauseous. Mixing it with Decaf coffee helps, but it still gives me diarrhea.

      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.
