So I am online tonight ordering small containers to use post op for my lunches....small 1- 2 oz containers and I started looking at the Protein powders Target carries because I have free shipping. I checked the stats on the Market Pantry Target brand and it looks pretty good! I compared to Premier Protein powder which is what my nutritionist prefers. Im intrigued because the stats look good and its inexpensive at 17.49

Anyone used this brand?

here are the stats for the vanilla Protein powder....

I've wanted to try it, but I'm nervous buying a big container. I always buy sample packets of powder to see if I like it.

I am halfway through the huge red/white container. I think that is the Target brand you mentioned. This is the first time I've purchased this kind of Protein powder and I only did so because I was already in target and didn't want to drive somewhere else just to buy my Protein Drink. The only aspect about it that I don't care for is that it is not whey Protein isolate. Other than that, it does taste the same as Premier Protein chocolate. The low price is the best factor. However, you can get MuscleTech protein isolate at Wal-Mart for the same price and it tastes the same. I really prefer the protein powders with additional Vitamins and minerals (Isopure, Bariatric fusion, Syntrax Matrix) but the cost is not really worth it since I'm over 14 months post op.

Why couldn't you return it if you don't like it?

I've always been able to return any Target product I didn't like (or just changed my mind) for a full refund. I have their credit card, so I have free shipping all the time, and you can return any Target product even from their website to an actual store any time within the return period. There are very few instances where I've seen you can't return stuff (bought some clearance tennis shoes that were non-returnable, but even then I had them shipped to store and tried them on before officially getting them and they would have refunded my money if I didn't like them).

      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.
