Laurend - where do you get the drinks you mentioned? I just ordered some samples from Unjury but those sound great - especially the Peanut Butter and Vanilla-Cinnamon ones. Thanks for your help.

I understand the physiology behind it and obviously it should work...But do you users of Protein Shakes find that it affects your apetite?

I was in my local GNC Vitamin store the other day and saw lots of Protein Drink and shakes also some little bullet things. but how do i know that this is the right kind of Protein for a banded person. is there something I should be looking for? I am not banded yet but I am nervous that I will mess something up!

Jessica-Try reading this thread starting on the 2nd page. There is some info on the quality of Protein shakes/drinks, types of Protein used, etc.

The only Protein powder I've tried, after searching these threads for recommendations, is the Body Fortress 100% whey Protein in vanilla. YUM! When I went into this, I was dreading the protein drinks; I tried ISOPURE's clear Protein drinks, not bad, but I could only get so much of it. I went to Wal Mart and found their second biggest size of Protein Powder for under $14. I was SO surprised at how good it was. It's great alone, but I later added 1/2 a banana and just that much better! I only take 8 oz, but with milk (10g of protein) and the powder, I get 33g of protein in one small 8 oz sitting. Not bad if you ask me. Oh, I also add a few ice cubes so it's nice and chilly.

I need to go to GNC and get some of those cheap, plastic shakers...I'm getting tired of the blender...

My nutritionist recommended Isopure -- you can get it at GNC. It's actually 50g of Protein, NO carbs, and 200 calories per serving. The main flavors are chocolate, vanilla, and strawberries & cream. Mix with milk.

I got the Matrix chocolate, whey Gourmet chocolate Peanut Butter, and nectar Fuzzy Navel ones at Netrition.com - The Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore!. That place has the best prices that I've found, and they'll ship any amount of stuff for just $5 or $6. It's a little difficult to search, though. The Matrix and nectar products are under the brand name Syntrax and the Whey Gourmet is under PVL.

I got the IDS Multi-Pro Whey Vanilla-Cinnamon at AllStarHealth.com - Vitamins and Nutritional supplements at Discounted Prices (under the brand name IDS), since I couldn't find it at Netrition. They sell it in 5 gallon tubs, but you can also buy it from Bariatric Eating - Protein, Vitamins, Gastric Bypass & Lap Band Info, Post-op recipes, and Help in a smaller size.

I really like Jarrow Protein powders...no artificial sweetners. I buy it at Buy Discount Vitamins, supplements, Low Carb and More at www.Vitacost.com about half the price of the health food stores! It isn't as strong/sweet tasting as others , but delicious and even has a yummy smell...check out the web page. Also, Nature's plus liquid vitamins/minerals, and chewable Calcium hearts are great!

I've been using AmazeRX, which I saw on an infomercial. You mix it with Water. The chocolate is extremely yummy and chocolaty. You can smell the cocoa as soon as you open the jar. I tried an unjury chocolate packet with milk, and could hardly taste the chocolate. Maybe I should have tried it with Water. I plan to use the unflavored and chicken Soup flavored Unjury Protein and the AmazeRX chocolate Protein. Both brands are ordered throgh the Internet. The UNJURY is very fast and friendly service, shipping is very inexpensive, and you have lots of ordering options. AmazeRX is much slower, shipping is quite costly.

I read here somewhere, people saying that since AmazeRX was advertised by infomercial, it was probably a crock. But, that's how I found out about lap band surgery, so . . .

I should have said you BLEND the AmazeRX with Water, not MIX. It definitely needs more than a quick stir or two.

Absolutely. I use Matrix 5.0 chocolate with Water and two shots of Da Vinci Raspberry s/f Syrup around 1PM or so. That's 120 calories. I might have another around 4PM, then whatever I want for dinner.

At first there was head hunger but no stomach hunger. Now the head hunger is gone for the most part.

If I loaded it up with bananas and other assorted carbs then I'm REALLY hungry later. But with Water and S/F syrup I'm not the least bit hungry.

Hey nice job.

My favorite is "Any Whey" unflavored protien powder. It was made to be used when cooking or eating in regular non-solid foods (like yogurt, pudding). It has a sweet smell, kinda like cotton candy, but it does not have a taste. I put it in my yogurt or cottage cheese at Breakfast, then put in any foods I cook for dinner, like meatloafs or gravies. You can find it at GNC or Bariatriceating dot com.

If you are looking for a flavored powder (choc or vanilla), I agree that Unjury is the best.
