protein powder confusion...HELP!



Recommended Posts

I've been good w/the calorie intake...not good enough w/the Protein intake. I've been way under and I need to help the healing process & curb this voracios hunger that peeks its ugly head once in a while.

What powders does anyone recommend and why?

...there are SOOOOO many in the market. I just dont want to buy this tub of Protein and have it go to waste because it makes me gag....please help me w/some suggestions.:lol:

I love Unjury. You can just by the single serve to try for the taste. Unjury.com

It also comes unflavored so you can add it to everything!

good luck

I like Dymatize Elite whey Protein. It mixes up with Water, juice, or milk and I add half a banana for some smoothiness and then ice. It's like a choc shake. 23 grams of Protein per scoop. I like the choc and vanilla the best (i can add fresh fruit to flavor it), but don't really care for the other flavors. If you do try it, you can go to their website, but it's about half the price on massnutrition.com.

I also like the Protein Bullets by IDS. They are called liquid whey Protein. Each 3 oz bullet has 42 g of protein. You can do it like a shot but I prefer to mix half a tube with Water and ice and sip on it like a kool aid drink. My doc said to drink a lot of water with it because it's a lot of protein for your body at once. The grape is my favorite. Not a fan of trop fruit, but I don't care for those flavors in most things. You can also get them at massnutrition.com. Lots of pharmacies carry them, too. Just not around where I live out in the sticks.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
