Protein powder recommendations

[DreaMunoz 7]

Hi all,

So I am on day one of high Protein pre-op diet. Surgery is scheduled for Jan 17th!!! I have a strawberries and cream Protein powder from Isopure that is horrible!!!! Does anyone have any Protein Powder recommendations? I can't drink this for the next two weeks. I have chocolate as well and will try that one when I get home from work. Hope that the chocolate is better!!!

I like the Quest Protein powders in chocolate and banana flavors. Quest does have a strange texture to it though, so if you can get past that, then the flavors are great. If you have a Vitamin Shoppe nearby, they sell single serve packets of several different brands of Protein powders. Also, I have found that the pre-mixed Protein drinks typically taste better to me. Whether that be the Premiere Protein, or Muscle Milk, or any other pre-made version. I prefer the Premiere Protein over Muscle Milk.

I don't have to start my liquids until next week because my doctor only requires 1 week, thankfully. Do you know your time yet? I should be finding mine out this week. i hope I am early in the morning so that I can just get it over with already! I can't believe we are only 2 weeks away!!!

My doctor doesn't want us using the pre-mixed for some reason...they explained why but I don't remember their reasoning. Right now I have the Isopure no carb strawberry and Dutch chocolate. Hoping the chocolate is better. If not I will be heading to Vitamin shoppe to check out Quest.

I wish I only had one week of pre-op diet. I have to do 2 weeks, with 3 shakes a day and 1 meal. I'm reeeeealllllly hungry right now lol!

I will not receive the time for my surgery until the day before. It's frustrating that is how they do it. U are lucky to find out ur time so soon!

We are almost there!!!!

How was the chocolate Isopure? I found out that my surgery will be at 11am on 1/17. Getting really anxious now!

It was actually Cookies and cream that I ordered. I thought it was chocolate. The Cookies and cream tasted better than the strawberry but still not good. I get this powder smell when I drink it, it's really hard to explain. But I think it's the smell more than the taste that is bothering me.

I use the Creamy vanilla and Dutch chocolate. Didn't like the chocolate too much, I think the Iso100 taste better. I have several flavors of the sugar free Torani syrups that i use with the vanilla, I think I'll add some peppermint to the chocolate next time. Might want to try the Torani syrups and add a little more Water so they are not too sweet.

I could not stand the flavors of the powders, so I used an unflavored Protein powder mixed with unsweetened almond milk and added PB2(sold everywhere now) and a little bit of stevia. Hope that helps, best wishes on your upcoming surgery!

All the ones ive tried are gritty and hard to swallow. I did like the pure Protein from Walmart if its premixed

Syntrax Nectar is really good, and a nice change from the milky sweet stuff most of us are used to.

I really like the Inspire brand. They have a lot of flavors and they are low carb, most flavors have 1-3 carbs per serving. They have very little Protein aftertaste and are whey protein isolate and designed for Bariatric patients. My favorite is the Reese butter cup flavor and the Peanut Butter cookie flavor.

I like Unjury and Premier.

Hi! My surgery is also scheduled for this 17th! I Stoll haven't started with the Protein powder (will on Friday) but am thinking what flavour to buy. I was told vanilla works best

I use muscletech chocolate from Amazon with almond milk. I start full liquids tomorrow and will be doing premier shakes for Breakfast and lunch the the muscle tech for dinner. In the ninja with a cup of almond milk it's like a milkshake.
