Scared of the protein powder....



Recommended Posts

I bought a sample vanilla Protein Powder from CVS and tried it this morning. I now know what everybody was talking about the smell!! It was horrible!! I took one drink and dumped it down the drain!! I go to the NUT Tuesday and I will probably be put on 2 week liquid diet then, so I was trying out. Now, I'm scared I won't be able to tolorate them!! I have some Sentrax nectar samples coming in the mail. Please tell me not all of them are this awful!!!!

I am using Unjury, not bad at all, no smell either. I first ordered a sample kit then ordered the large in unflavored that can be used with Soups, pudding, liquified fruit juices, or anything you want to add it to and strawberry sorbet which I mix with lemonade and frozen strawberries.

No. They're not all that awful. Some of my favs are unjury unflavored and chocolate flavor, dessert Protein, Atkins shakes and my ultimate Fav is core power.

I like a lot of them. The nectar samples are good. I got 2 sample packs of them and I seem to like the juice ones best. i also really dig the unjury chicken Soup. Unjury has the unflavored one to use in Jello and such if you'd like.

with the chicken Soup you have to be careful to not get it too hot.

I have only tried one nectar, and it was so yummi. So I am going tomorrow to the capital to buy 7 more samples to try out. Normally I hate Protein Shakes, espessially those thick Meal Replacement ones. I am so happy to have found nectar, and I love it is thin like juice or coolaid.

The nectar line is really good! My favorites of there's is the Double Stuffed Cookie, Vanilla Bean Torte, and Cappuccino is my absolute favorite! With a lot of there's you can't really go wrong. Except the Lemon Tea... Did not care for that one at all!

GNC brand unflavored, I put two scoops to 40oz of Water and 1 packet of raspberry lemonade crystal lite. I've been drinking this m-f for 4yrs now. I don't drink anything other then Water with lemon Sat & Sunday to give the kidneys a break from the Protein Powder.

      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.
