Help with protein powder choices?

[Shauny85 31]

Hey I am haven't had my surgery yet my final appt is Oct 27. Than I will find out the date. But in the mean time I am trying to figure out good high Protein Shakes I can drink. So I just purchased not just Protein in the double duty chocolate flavor. I am just curious is this a good choice if not what can you recommend? Plz help ????????

@@Shauny85 Too many sugars as far as I'm concerned. Usually your surgeon's practice will give you a list of acceptable Protein powders/shakes. Premier Protein is a good prepared shake. I use Bariatric fusion (required pre-op).

Does Premier Protein contain milk? I am lactose intolerant?

I believe so. There should be others that don't contain lactose - but with less sugars than the one you chose.

Your right it was pretty sweet. It says 8 to 16 grams of sugar depending on how many scopes. I am going to call the weight management center to have them email me some choices me final app isn't till Oct 27th

Ok thank you for your help. I think need to go to GNC or something for better choices.

Hi there,

I was sleeved on Sept. 9th and I am down 31lbs from day of surgery. I did a lot of research on Protein and came up with what I believe is the best choice. I use two different brands. These are what they refer to as medical grade Protein which means they are triple filtered. 1. nectar is great but limited on flavors. 2. Isopure is also great. Both have high protein per scoop. Hope this helps you out.

Help!! I'm on clear liquid today and tomorrow. I have the isopure powder - unflavored. I mixed it with Powerade and it was so horrible I literally threw up. Any thoughts on what to mix it with to make it tolerable? I've literally had nothing today except for Water and power aide

Are you pre-op or post-op? Did you try the Isopure liquid?

[mcmom2016 13]

No have not tried the liquid. I bought the powder and it's all I have at the moment.

I like GENEPRO unflavored. It's 30grams per tablespoon and only 57 calories.

I use the nectar powder. I'm not sure what he means about limited flavors they have quite a few.. I have orange cream, banana cream, strawberry Mousse, Grape, sour apple, chocolate Truffle.. They are good!

As long as your using specifically "whey Protein isolate" it is safe to use for lactose intolerance. Shouldn't give you any trouble. My fave is the ON brand, can get online or GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe...lots of flavors!!
