Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

I'm sure I'm not the first person to ask about this topic, but I could really use some help right now. I'm looking for a Protein Powder or pre-made that contains 30 g of Protein per serving. I did find that Premier has the 30 g per serving but I have not tried it.... Anyone have any opinions on that certain brand? Does it taste good? Right now I use one from GNC but in order to get my recommended intake per my physician, I'd have to drink 3 shakes a day, and I have a hard time just doing the two, especially since I just started them back into my diet yesterday.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I've tried a few and lots don't taste too good and the ones that do taste good have tons of sugar but I love the GNC ones choc strawberry vanilla I don't care for the Orange cream by the way they will let u sample the ready to drink ones I asked lol also Isopure ready to drink is good expensive tho gnc has great products I shop there get the yearly membership it's 15$ and u get a discount when shopping one or two trips pays for it and they frequently have bogo 50% off sales it's worth it they recommend the big black container gosh I can't recall the brand and the gnc women's lean choc prices are better for the powder and u mix it yourself also they have the shaker bottles with the little metal whisk inside those are awesome u can buy those at bedbathandbeyond too also the gnc powder ones in the white containers have seasonal favors like now they have banana, pumpkin like that I'm still pre op but trying things to see what I can tolerate when I first tried the gnc lean shakes ready to drink I got them at rite aid a local drug store that sells gnc products they had single bottles so I got a couple to try before buying large quantitys they were very friendly and helpful at gnc seemed very knowledgable about what they sell hope this helps also I've read many positive posts here re GENEPRO Protein powder check it out at musclegen.com it's a powder u can put in any liquid food or Soup hot or cold and doesn't clump smell or taste bad tho I hear it stinks in the pkg lol but not in the food or drink and its a high protein amount and I think only one scoop is needed I plan to try it ok anyway good luck msg me anytime

I like the Isopure powders because they have 50 grams per serving.

I like Syntrax (23 grams per serving) because they dissolve easier and have more flavors.

I like unjury (23 grams per serving) because they have the chicken flavor for broths and Soups,

and an unflavored that you can pop into home recipes.

Celebrate vanilla Cake Batter is my best varorite hands down. One serving is 25 grams. I add

some extra vanilla and apacket of Monk Fruit sweetener and make it with almond milk.

Also BariatricChoice,com has all kinds of bariatric foods and drink mixes (and RTUs). They also

have Protein chips, Snacks, and power bars.

      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.
