Sophie74656 1,572 Posted December 18, 2015 this is kind of an interesting topic here. Every one has different brands they like, some love them some hate them. Many people find that a protien they like pre op they can't stand post op. I would recommend trying to get some individual bottles of a couple different brands and seeing what you like the best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalkOnWaking 139 Posted December 18, 2015 To know how long the powder will last, you need to know what your surgeon or nutritionist recommends on grams per day. Mine had some sort of calculation based on height and weight (said 71 grams minimum per day). Then you'll need to know how many grams of Protein is in a 'serving' for the product.

Michael Hamilton 37 Posted December 18, 2015 i have tried this company www.rawdynamix.com/ and get the cold filtered whey . Super fast shipping and about $10 cheaper than Unjury.< a href="http://www.unjury.com/" rel="external nofollow">http://www.unjury.com/ I put 1.5 scoops unflavored in my morning coffee.< /p> http://www.rawdynamix.com/.

BLERDgirl 6,417 Posted December 18, 2015 Go to the search box and type in Protein powders. There are a million different brands. There are powders, RTD and clear drinks. It's honestly a matter of taste. What one person likes another will hate. Check out the online stores, the health food stores, Whole Foods and drugs stores. Have a taste testing and find out what you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BelleCurves 66 Posted December 19, 2015 I found that I do like unjury, but it is expensive! I tried one RTD brand, EAS Advantage and that was okay - not my favorite. Also, I hear Premier is good and you can buy at Wal-Mart and costco. I have yet to try that brand as they are always out when I go. But, yeah, to echo everyone else, it is trial and error and totally preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindyw41 761 Posted December 19, 2015 My doctor gave me two choices, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or Bariatric Advantage for my 2 week pre-op. I ordered the sample pack from Unjury, it comes with 2 servings of each flavor, a thermometer and a mixing bottle. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly0559 34 Posted December 19, 2015 I use Premier Protein. I have the chocolate liquid shakes and then the vanilla Protein Powder. The chocolate shakes taste like chocolate milk and the vanilla can be mixed in with everything. Both kinds are 30 grams of Protein. My doctor recommended it because it pretty much has the highest amount of protein out of all of them. My dad had the sleeve surgery 3 years ago and he also recommended Premier for protein too.

Shylarose 53 Posted December 19, 2015 I tested a bunch of different kinds and found that the pre-made Pure Protein tasted o.k. to me. I was grateful that after my surgery this week, that they still taste good to me, as I have over 32 12oz cans of it in my fridge. Pure Protein has 35 grams per can and only 4grams of carbs. I have tried three of the different flavors; chocolate, strawberry and banana. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
