Protein Powders...



Recommended Posts

Apparently since my sleeve on 10/21, the taste of any whey Protein Powder tastes awful to me. I can barely finish one. Found one but fear the calories are too high.. Any suggestions for a better tasting powder? ? Thanks

I met a guy who took plain vanilla shakes and the got different flavors of sugar free Jello powder (pistachio, bandanna, pimkin ect) he would keep them in salt shakers and sprinkle them on the vanilla shakes so he would have different flavors. Thought that was a cool idea

Anyone in Texas, my dietician told me I could drink MooTopia from HEB instead of protien shakes. It is 12g of Protien and only 90 calories in 8 ozs.

Was sleeved on 10/28. And went through the same thing. The only thing I drink is premier Protien vanilla. 30g of Protien and tasted great

I got a flavored Isopure today. 50 grams of Protein in one serving! Anyone else drink isopure?

I've tried a couple of the Isopure ready to drink, and I hate them. They taste like soap! Instead, I've been making my own thin flavored drinks using Syntrax Nectar unflavored protein with a tube of Crystal Lite. Grape is my favorite.

I LOVE Syntrax nectar Protein powders. My favorite is the chocolate Truffle. My 12 year old son plays hockey and I make him a Protein shake with that after his practices and games. He loves it and says it takes just like chocolate milk.

I recently tried Myoplex Lite ready to drink because it was on my surgeon's list for the pre-op diet and I wanted to jump start my pre-op weight loss. The Cookies & Cream flavor was actually pretty good. I would definitely purchase that flavor again. On the other hand, the strawberry Cream flavor was horrible! Very fake tasting and the thickish, slimy consistency was like drinking Milk of Magnesia or Pepto Bismol. Bleccch!

Also recently tried Syntrax Matrix Simple vanilla flavor. Nowhere near as good as Nectar--probably won't re-purchase. My son tried one Protein Shake with it and says he doesn't like it.

      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.
