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.

      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.
