Protein-Please help

[debsj06 0]

Hi everyone, I'm post op and expecting my surgery the end of August so I am posting this for a friend of mine. She had her surgery on Tuesday 7/22/08 and has tried the Unjury Protein but doesn't like it at all. Can you please give us some input as to what you all do to get you Proteins in daily. She is going to try some other types however she is afraid that she won't be able to tolerate any of them and wants some ideas of other things to try.

Thanks all!!!

I bought a ton of different stuff. I've tried GNC whey protein, Nature's Best Isopure, which isn't too bad, Nectar--I bought the Cherry, vanilla, and Cappucino--the cherry is very sweet. I also bought the Whey Protein Bullets from IDS Sports. Let me tell you. This has got to be the best way to get that protein in. I bought the fruit punch. Each bullet is about the size of a small cucumber (sorry, can't remember the ounces offhand) and packs a whopping 42 grams of protein and 176 calories, no carbs. What I did was add it to a fruit punch crystal light and it blends really well and not lumpy. I bought them because I figured after surgery, I wanted something concentrated in case I wasn't up to eating at all but needed to get the protein in. I think it's the best option so far. But nectar products are popular. Also, my brother was telling me about Matrix Orange Cream. He said he has tried everything and this was the absolute best tasting....just like a creamsicle. If I hadn't already spent a small fortune in protein mixes, I'd order some myself. Good luck!

Simply Smart Milk has 10g of Protein in 8oz. I mix my protein powers with the milk and Carnation no sugar add breakfest drink. For me it adds up to 10g milk, 7g carnation drink, and 12g beneprotein (2 scoops). That comes to 29g of protein. I am curently looking for a higher protein power. But this is what is getting me threw for now.

I add SF syrups to my Protein Drinks right now. Later I can add real berries to my drinks. I mostly add carmel and raspberry flavored Syrup to my Protein drinks. Yes, I know making them sweet, but I liked them that way better.

Im also just drinking plain ole skim milk to get protein. A couple of glasses a day. Some doctors allow skim milk as a clear liquid and some as a full liquid. It will also coat your stomach lining if you have gas.

I bought a 4 pack of lite laughin cow cheese. lite string cheese and lite laughing cow are the only two cheese products that have enough protein for the amount of calories to be allowed on most low gi diets which Im sticking to. Laughing cow is 35 calories and has 2.5 grams of protein.

I cant eat regular meat yet, Im still on mushies.

flowers, how do you like the sugar free syrups? I was on vitalady.com last night and seriously thinking of ordering some caramel myself, plus some other trial samples of some nectar protein. The syrups only had one size for $7.49 so I was hesitant to try before I got some referrals.

I have found a few flavors at the Super Walmarts, the bigger ones, not all have them. Top shelf above the coffees. I told someone I bought all mine at World Markets, and they were upset with me, because they went to Sam's where they were $1 less a bottle.

You can probably find them for cheaper than you are showing in your area I would think?? I like them. I have all the berry flavors, plus peach, chocolate, you name it. Everything but coconut which Im allergic to. I put them in my shakes.< /p>

Thank you all so much for your replies. I'm going to try some of these also. This was my first posting but I am on this website all the time and find so many helpful tips and hints from everyone. It's nice that there are so many supportive people on here. Thanks all!!!

The New Whey bullets are really easy. They are only 3 oz each, so it is really easy to get down. They sell them at GNC. They are a little thick, but I just drink it straight, because 2 swallows is enough to get 1 oz down! Good Luck!

I have been through Protein Shake after Protein shake trying to find something that is drinkable. I started out really liking the Atkins shakes. However, after awhile they got old. I think this tends to happen wtih any protein shake. I tried Isopure but thought thoses were awful (it tasted like milk mixed with fruit punch). Next, I tried the low-carb Slimfast and found that those were too sweet. Finally I found the New-Whey Protein Shots and those are the best. They are 3oz., 42g of protein, and go down easy. I have found this is the best way for me to get protein in and not worry throughout the day if I am going to eat enough protein. I would recommend these above and beyond anything else. I buy mine at GNC during the first 7 days of the month and pay $29 for a case of 12. Otherwise they are $37.99.
