Kristen_vsg 114 Posted January 17, 2017 I tried three different Protein shakes, and my stomach isn't agreeing with any of them. I'm not getting enough Protein for the day. So now I'm trying the unflavored Protein powder, sure hope it works. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,713 Posted January 17, 2017 It can be tricky. Things you liked pre-op might taste weird or not sit well post-op. You might have to take a trip to somewhere like GNC or VitaminShoppe and get some sample packets and just try a bunch of brands and flavors. Just make sure that anything you get is low carb and low in saturated fat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giraffesmom 16 Posted January 17, 2017 I use GENEPRO its unflavored medical grade Protein 30grm per scoop. Mix it into whatever beverage you like. It also blends well with hot liquids, I put it in my broth. You can get it on Amazon. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They claim that a serving is the "equivalent of" 30 grams of Protein, because you are supposed to absorb their protein better than regular whey isolate. However, there have been no independent studies proving their claim yet. So, I would err on the side of caution and still only count it as 15 grams of protein towards my daily protein target. Better to end up getting more protein than you might need than finding out you've only been getting half as much as you thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kristen_vsg 114 Posted January 17, 2017 It's working just fine , for $70 I'm sure happy it did. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blizair09 3,250 Posted January 17, 2017 In my early days post-op, unflavored Protein powder was a lifesaver for me. I'm not sure where you are in your food stages, but you can mix it with broth, cream of chicken Soup, or yogurt, among other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App May sound silly but I've only like them after I refrigerate them for a few hours...usually overnight. Makes a big difference. I've also only liked the chocolate and strawberry. Good luck. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeresaGary 7 Posted January 17, 2017 I had this same problem!! Jay Robb's Egg white Protein is where I have settled... and I bought them on luckyvitamin.com was the cheapest... because they are not cheap ... strawberry seriously is bomb!

AnaDmom3 66 Posted January 18, 2017 Premier Protein is way to sweet for me. I also use GENEPRO and there has been much debate about the 30 grams. I'm sure by now if it weren't correct there would be consumer complaints to verify and adjust the claim. Do the research as I've seen the 15 gram claim before and don't think that is accurate. I like it cause I can mix it in everything even if just add 1/2 scoop to things like yogurt that already has 15 grams of Protein to get to 30.
