Protein supplement suggestions?



Recommended Posts

Hello friends! I am two weeks out from surgery today, and have been doing great reaching my Protein and Fluid goals. But tomorrow I start the next phase in my plan, which introduces more soft foods, and stops the Protein shakes. I know I'm going to have a very hard time reaching my Protein goals without the shakes. I have heard a lot of other people on here talk about unflavored Protein powder that can be added to food. But there are so many different kinds online!!! Any suggestions??? I would like something tasteless that is easy to add to food, but also willing to try something like a fruity flavor that I can add to my Water....

Thanks in advance ????

I am almost 4 months out and I still drink Protein Shakes. GNC has a 100% whey Protein that is unflavored that I have used some. You might just try different ones. GNC carries other brands besides their own and some of them come in small sample packets.

My post op diet consists of having at least 1 Protein shake a day even after I'm on regular textures but I can't stomach them much anymore, at least for right now. I got sick of them pretty fast. If you're wanting something "fruity" then you could try Isopure 0 carb (if your diet is like mine and limiting carbs) or you could try Syntrax nectar brand fruity flavors. They do have a variety pack on the BariatricPal Store that I got to try. Here's the link: https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/variety-packs/products/syntrax-nectar-protein-powder-sampler-variety-bag-15-flavors

I haven't come across any Protein that doesn't have ANY flavor at all. Even the unflavored Protein Powder does change the taste of things but Syntrax does also have an unflavored powder that is supposedly "virtually tasteless in food and drink." To me though, it does still have some flavor to it but maybe give it a try.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
