PROTEIN SHAKE ADVICE-HIGH QUALITY, INEXPENSIVE , NOT A PROTEIN BLEND



Recommended Posts

My surgery is May 17, 2017 and I am trying various Protein powders, but many have a lot of chemicals and are protein blend. any advice on finding inexpensive, high quality non-protein blend shakes. I really appreciate it.

Thanks

Unflavored Protein powders like from Isopure and Unjury are going to be the "purest" form of protein supplements you can find. Anything flavored will obviously have other stuff.....there's no way around the sweeteners and flavor ingredients. Syntrax Nectar naturals arent too bad...."whey protein isolate, erythritol, natural flavors, silicone dioxide, soy lecithin, salt, stevia and Monk Fruit concentrate".

Where do you live? I live in Wisconsin and many of the local cheese factories are now offering the whey product they produce from the cheese making process. I think Mullins Cheese even sells it online. Doesn't get any better than straight from the source......

Thanks everyone. I will keep that in mind. So, I will try Unjury and Isopure Carb. I do like flavor, so I will loosen up and maybe have one or two with flavor. Oh, I live in New Jersey.

I use the vanilla GNC pure isolate. Mix it with Water and it taste good to me. It is about $26 per container. Not sure if that is more than others but it is pure whey isolate and i like the flavor. Has 25g protein and about 110 calories per 8 Oz drink

@JJ how many shakes can you get out of the GNC mix? Anything where I do not have to pay for shipping is great. LOL!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
