I need to get more Protein in my diet. I am full liquids right now. I know that the nut suggests unflavored Protein powder added to food like yogurt and cream Soup. I am concerned about the taste. Can anyone suggest a brand that will not make food taste icky?

I also need a Protein shake that tastes good. I have only had Bariatric Advantage. I do not think I could do one of those again. After having 4 a day for 10 days, I am sick of them. I have also tried Premier Protein vanilla. Not bad, but I am not crazy about it. I added PB2 to it to try to change the flavor. That helped a little. I hate wasting money on buying lots of different shakes to see if I like them. Can anyone suggest some favorites to try? Thanks!

I like EAS shakes the best from Walmart. They don't have as high of Protein though so I still buy Premier also.

GENEPRO is the best for what we need, has 30g in a Tbsp. it's pricey but worth it. Regardless of what they say it is not flavorless! I taste something & it changes food texture. Melts best in hot tea. ????

I have heard of unjury and one of my good friends who had her surgery a few years before I had mines swears by it. I however use Isopure Unflavored that I got from GNC. I tend to use that when I am making smoothies or I sometimes mixes it in with my morning dose of Metamucil Fiber to give me both a Fiber and Protein boost.

GENEPRO is the best I've found so far. I mix it with my Decaf coffee and a little sugar free Creamer every morning and get 30g of Protein right off the bat!

Hi tried the GNC unflavored whey - it's ok. I also tried nectar unflavored - do not like it. It changes the texture of my food.

As for Protein shakes - like the pure Protein (Trader Joes and Amazon) has them. So far - favorite flavors are banana, Cookies and cream and chocolate.

Good luck.

Hi! I'm using Isopure Unflavored Protein Isolate by Natures Best. 26g of Protein per scoop. It's tasteless and adds no real texture. I'm really happy with it. For my Protein Drink, I use Champion Nutrition Ultramet Original. 42g of protein per package. I order through Amazon or through other source ( check prices). I am using 1/2 package at a time right now, plus a scoop of Isopure. I'm getting 46 grams of protein in my shake ( 14 oz of water). I add my liquid Calcium, Vit D too. Oh...some ice too. Wishing you much success!

Thanks everyone. I ordered GENEPRO awhile from Amazon. If I don't like that, I will try one of the others. Happy 4th!!

      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.
