Protein

[Kristen_vsg 114]

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.

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.

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.

GNC unflavored works well.....in everything I've tried it with. Heck, it even did okay in Crystal Light, lol.

Thanks everyone, I'm really hoping this one works out for me .

I would be a little cautious when choosing GENEPRO. 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
