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.

      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.
