I don't like a lot of meat so I'm trying to find a powder I can mix with my mashed cauliflower or other puréed veggies when I hit the purée stage in a couple of days.

I am neither endorsing nor recommending this product other than to say I have used it:

https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Nutrition-Protein-Turmeric-Servings/dp/B01DOEL8CM?th=1

Tumeric flavored Bone Broth powder. The problem with it is the fact that it is a poor Protein, collagen. This is not a protein that has any great efficacy with muscle growth or retention. It can't hurt, but it is not really giving you the same bang for your buck in regards to usable protein. But it is at least better than GENEPRO.

Pretty much any unflavored whey Protein Powder would work with a heavily spiced or seasoned mashed vegetable IMO. While I do enjoy a great tasting meal, an OK tasting meal that meets my macros is far more worthwhile IMO.

As well you should not be convinced. It's snake oil.

I knew the second I saw the thread title someone would bring up GENEPRO. It is impossible to cram 30 grams of anything into a tablespoon. Lol

Isopure is good stuff. I have never tried the unflavored but use the flavored variety daily.

Good Morning,
I am preparing for post-op and am a little lost about how to choose Protein powder/drinks. Do you have a favorite? I tend to shop a lot on Amazon. Thanks!!!



I hate the taste I'm trying to
Find one that's tasteless

I use Bariatric Fusion that I buy online. I use crushed ice, 8oz of 1% milk and put in the Nutri Bullet. I seriously couldn't stand any of the others I tried but I actually like this, have it almost every week day for Breakfast. Good Luck!!!!!

I compared the muscle milk powder that I got at costco and it seems a solid choice but I never see mention if it here. Is it not a good choice?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
