Protein Supplement Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I absolutely hate most of the Protein Shakes. Unjury is the least offensive that I have found but that one takes me awhile to get down. I have been pretty happy with South Beach Diet Meal Replacement bars which have like 20 grams and aren't too bad tasting. I am going to try to get some Protein bullets this weekend and those have 42 grams in a 3 oz vial, I am hoping that I can just hold my nose and do it like a shot :eek: Good luck in your search :)

I really like the unjury chocolate....it tastes like chocolate milk to me. I am pretty picky and I have no problem drinking this. On their website they let you order a sample pack, so you may want to try that.

I also don't mind EAS Low Carb Chocolate Fudge drink. I get it at Walmart in a 4 pack, not as good but drinkable. The nice thing is it only has 110 calories and fills you up pretty good. That is all I ever have for Breakfast.

I have to say, I don't get the "protein drink" thing. I wanna eat my food not drink it. Protein drinks, on average have a couple hundred calories. Why drink 150 or 200 hundred calories when you can eat them? I don't get it.

On mornings when I don't have time for Breakfast, I have a South Beach Diet Protein Bar. They're about 200 calories and have, I think, 18 grams of Protein. And I get to chew it which keeps me fuller longer than a drink would.

My surgeon told me to drink sugar free instant breakfast after surgery and for a few days after fills, but didn't think the Protein Drinks were necessary, so I never did them.

I travel a LOT so I keep Protein powders for when I'm on the go and just can't find something (aka airports).

I really like the Syntax nectar ones. My favorite is the Roadside Lemonade. I like them because I got totally burned out on the whole vanilla and chocolate thing originally after surgery.

syntax does I believe now have van/choc, but I really like that lemonade. I want to try their peach one next. You do have to drink them really cold however.

I buy mine from drugstore.com

I like the EAS chocolate shakes pretty well. I agree that Syntrax Nectar-Roadside lemonade is really good! Not some gross thick shake. If you go to bariatriceating.com you can also order a sample pack to try out a variety before you buy a giant jar of something. Hope this helps!!:tongue2:

I like the New Whey Protein Bullets (order them online). They come in different flavors, and I would describe them as the consistency of Jello (before it sets). I like the fruit punch flavor the best. I add it to fruit punch crystal lite, and I've had no problem. I didn't think I'd be able to do the protein powders b/c I was on miedifast for 6 months when I was in high school, and I grew to hate it so much that I couldn't get it down. Plus, 21 g of the bullet is less than 90 calories (I think).

I like the Bolthouse Farms Protein enriched drinks. They come in mocha, hazelnut, and chai. They taste very good, are available in the produce section of the supermarkets, and don't have artificial sweeteners. They do have caffeine, however (an appetite suppressent) and make a nice breakfast or snack. You really need to keep track of your calories, though, 'cause they can add up fast.

Reading the thread made me hungry so I took a scoop of EAS soy protien, 2 c ice, about a cup of milk and thru it in the blender. It's one of the best things I've had so far. I may make it through the full liquid phase after all.

      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.
