Who hated protein powder but found a good on?



Recommended Posts

I liked Premier before surgery but now it makes me nauseous. Mixing it with Decaf coffee helps' date=' but it still gives me diarrhea.[/quote']

Eeekk that's not good. They should have a seminar once a month where you can try sample sizes of all the different brands. I guess the issue is that people seem to have different taste buds after surgery.

While in my weight loss journey I tried almost every Protein powder out there. They were nothing but disgusting. The thickness' date=' 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?[/quote']

I am one week past my surgery date, and I have one week left of Clear Liquids. I didn't mind the Isopure premixed clear drinks before the surgery, but now I can't stand the taste. I have also tried Jay Robb flavorless Protein Powder. I liked it before surgery, but like the Isopure, I now find it not tasting very well. I have yet to try egg Protein powder. I have been drinking beef broth, vegetable broth and chicken broth. I can't wait until week three when I can have full liquids. I really like the EAS milk chocolate premixed shakes and the Isopure dutch chocolate powder mix. I still have one week to go.

i hated the Bariatric Advantage that my doctor recommended. i found Premier Protein ready to drink shakes to be fantastic. especially now after surgery they're so easy. i also use pure Protein chocolate which is great. it doesn't have that overly sweet/fake protein taste i felt the bariatric advantage had. and recently i found body fortress chocolate Peanut Butter which is AMAZING. i actually was craving some crunch today so i made a shake with Water and froze it for about two hours. it was almost like a slushy consistency and it was amazing. i also love the Isopure, it's refreshing when the Protein Shakes feel too thick going down. good luck!

Everything I liked before urgery, including the chewable vitamins, I couldn't stand after surgery. Thank goodness for the unflavored Unjury. I could mix it into what I could tolerate...and yogurt.... Saved me during the first 2 weeks

I really like the Isopure powder (not the pre-made fruity flavored ones in the glass bottles) - I use one scoop of the carb free creamy vanilla and blend it with ice, Decaf coffee and a bit of sugar-free pudding mix or Torani Syrup.< /p>

I took three or four back to GNC and my husband ended up using one or two others. All of them grossed me out!!! I gave up and got the Protein bullets from GNC. I'd gotten a sample in my goodie bag when I was discharged from Forest Park.....let me assure you, it wasn't good either, but it was 3.5 ounces!!! Easy compared to a shake that seemed to keep "growing" as I had to keep adding ice to make it drinkable and the three days after discharge that I did finish one.....it literally took HOURS!!!!! The little bullet, I'd hold my nose and take a few sips in the morning, again at noon and finish it up in the evening. 43 grams of Protein, all I had to do was rinse my mouth out after my sips. Just like taking medicine when I was a kid. LOL I never lost my hair (I also took Biotin) and my labs were always good.

Good luck!!!!! Protein is important, I was determined to find something I could get down!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
