Can anyone recommend any good (and fairly inexpensive) powdered ones? I don't want to buy a zillion flavors to find one that I like. I would like a good, high quality, high Protein and great tasting to boot!

TIA!!

I use unjury. I buy the unflavored and mix it with anything. It has 20g of Protein in a serving. I also use Perfectly Protein, which I found at Sam's club. It is also in the organic part of a regular store. I have tried the vanilla Chai Tea, and the coffee. They have 10g of protein in a 8oz glass. So I use the Perfectley protein which is a liquid and use a scoop of the Unjury and shake it up together and I have 30g of protein. I use it in the mornings because It is harder for me to eat anything until later in the day. Also I know that I have at least 30gs of what the dr wants me to have. At least 50 or 60 a day.

You can get on Unjury.com and look at the different types of protein powders that they have. Good luck. I also use the Snickers Engergy bars.. They have 17g of Protein..but Higher in Suger but I am still losing weight, so they aren't hurting me that much. LOL

I go to GNC and buy the ANYWHEY, it's unflavored, and not that expensive compared to others. It's virtually tasteless so I mix it with a lot of different things, and it has 17 grams of Protein per serving. It's made by optimum nutrition.

I need something different...Atkins shakes aren't doing it for me anymore. I want something that has like 30-40 grams of Protein in ONE drink...LOL And of course, something I don't mind the taste of!

Noooooo, you don't want that much Protein in one sitting. Your body can't absorb that much at a time. What you don't use you either have to burn or it turns to fat.

No more than 25gms, 30gms tops at a time and 4 hours or so inbetween protein servings. It really does become wasted money.

Have you tried Da Vinci S/F syrups to change the flavor a bit? My fav is chocolate with Raspberry flavoring. MMMmmmmmmm

I had such a hard time finding a Protein supplement that I actually liked and didn't leave an aftertaste. I LOVE Worldwide Pure Protein Shakes in Frosted chocolate and Cookies'n Cream. They come premade in soda can form. They have 35 grams of protein. I would buy them at GNC to see if you like them (in the cooler). If you do, they are cheaper online at the Worldwide website. I also like Matrix 5.0 Cookies and Cream, but it is too sweet for me to use everyday. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

      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.
