Protein recommendations!

[TheRevisionedVagabond 53]

I've just hit 5 weeks post op & cant seem to shake this stall for crap! Its been ongoing for about 2 weeks now & it's frustrating but I KNOW I'm not getting in the recommended Protein.< /p>

Please suggest some protein brands & flavours you use to help get your goal in! I've tried the Syntrax Nectar but only Fuzzy Navel & Carribean Cooler. Wasn't a fan of the former, but the latter is really good! I'm not looking for something with a weird after taste or anything like that. Bonus points if I can put it in Water (to make a protein rich "crystal light") or even if it's *truly* unflavoured. (Heard about GENEPRO but don't know much about them)

Lay them on me!

I am at 4 weeks post op today. I haven't lost any weight in a week also. I was just gettin ready to post the exact same thing. It is so hard to find protien that actually is flavor less. I have tried nectar also and it is not really flavorless. Hope someone can give you some helpful tips so I can see them too! lol ?

I've been using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein since that's what my doc's office sells, but given the price I'm going to be switching over to something more cost effective. In the past I've used Body Fortress which is pretty good. The vanilla was so-so but the chocolate was good.

Optimum Nutrition was my all time favorite but their prices have gone up over the years, but their quality was top notch. I can't attest to anything outside of chocolate and vanilla, but I know ON has a crap ton of different flavors. For me the chocolate flavors tend to be a safest bet.

I think both BF and ON mix extremely well in Water and still taste good, but I'll always prefer milk. Just use a good shaker bottle. Below is the nutritional info for the ON Protein.

And here's the nutritional info for the Body Fortress brand. Despite having a few more calories I like it because it's 30g of Protein in a single serving and low on the carbs.

Just keep in mind the body can only digest up to 30g of Protein at a time. Definitely have to spread it out over the day.

Good luck! Gonna be protein shopping very soon;)

I couldn't tolerate any unflavored, until GENEPRO. I have added to oatmeal, coffee, crystal light... It's worth trying!

@chickee that's what I've read in the reviews also!! I'm gonna look into it as well! Thank you!

I use GENEPRO in my coffee every morning. You have to add in this order to prevent clumping. GenePro, Creamer then coffee. My creamer is cold to it controls the the temp and prevents clumping. I also use a self stirring mug (check eBay for them) blends it perfect! No Protein taste and it starts the day off with a little less than 30g!

What works for me is making my own Protein Shakes with Fairlife milk and Protein Powder. That way I can add the flavors I like and taste good together. The combination of high Protein milk, protein powders and greek yogurt in one shakes gives me almost all the protein I need for an entire day. Also, there is no medical evidence to suggest that you can only digest 30g of protein at a time and even if you could we eat/drink so slow that my one shake takes me through Breakfast and lunch.

Try muscle milk chocolate cuz vanellla has a nasty aftertaste

[Sullie06 1,033]

I use Lift Protein by Atkins, it's more of a Water consistency and the taste is not bad. Lemon is my fave.

I know many have said it before, but I would be lost without GENEPRO. I put it in everything I eat. You won't regret it!
