Choosing a Protein Powder



Recommended Posts

I was told just to make sure it says isolate Protein powder. I think the worst part of this whole process was the 2 week liquid diet before. Enjoy your last week eating and chewing real food. I had to chew gum because I missed it. You can drink your after surgery shakes on that liquid diet. I had to drink 5 carnation instant sugar free. Breakfast shakes. I liked the vanilla one better. But what saved me was the Bariatric Advantage strawberry shortcake Protein Powder.< /p>

There is a website BariatricChoice.com that sells really tasty items. I look for high Protein and then read the reviews to decide which to choose. I spent $100 and have loved everything I purchased from Gelatin to Syntrax to Soups to berry flavors

to add to my Water. I will have my surgery sept 13 and think I am prepared.

I went by a mix of all things you mentioned. My favorite is the stuff the first commenter posted from Walmart in the chocolate version. I also get the Cappuccino flavour from bariatric pal although its a bit too sweet. Also an excellent protien drink that no one talks about on this site although its what my surgeon requires pre and post op is Isopure. Its clear protien that you can get at GNC. They are expensive but lot of Protein

I am pre-opt (just waiting for my phone call to see the Dr for my date), I have yet to try a Protein Shake, in our class they spoke about most of the patients favorites being Premier Protein and nectar. I have drank Protein in the past but, I couldn't get past the chalkiness and the clumps that would not dissolve not matter how much I blended it together. I am also afraid to buy such a big jar of protein and end up not liking it.

      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.
