Protein powder samples?



Recommended Posts

I've been told not to buy large tubs of Protein Powder until I have tried samples of them post-surgery to see if they are still palatable.

So far I have had difficulty finding a way to order small samples. Does anyone know of a source for getting samples to try? Also, what are your favorite Protein Bars?

Thanks in Advance!

You can get packets of powders from Bariatric fusion and unjury.

http://www.nashuanutrition.com/store/protein-powders/protein-powder-samples-1-serving.html (my favorite brands here are BSN Lean Dessert, Chike, Optimum Nutrition, Designer whey, and Syntrax. Least favorites were Bariatric Advantage, Bariatric Fusion, Click, Muscle Milk, Isopure, Protizyme, and About Time - but this is such an individual thing! Also the BSN Syntha 6 is delicious IMO but super high calorie and carb for Protein powder).

https://vitalady.com/protein-supplement/ - has many of the same brands as Nashua, but a few additional ones plus some different flavors than Nashua has.

(I really love this brand of hot chocolate, but I prefer to use just the plain "classic" version of it and add my own flavorings - Torani sugarfree syrups etc.)

      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.
