I'm bummed: protein powder



Recommended Posts

I ordered the sample pack of Protein Shake mixes for Optimum Nutrition from Netrition and tried them all to figure out which one I'd like to have on hand for when I can't get in all of my Protein from food. Well... I have one I really wanted to order and they don't have that one flavor for individual purchase! Now I have to try to find it somewhere and hope it's the same one.... sorry, just had to vent a little.

What are some other online shopping cites for ordering Protein powder? I'm looking for the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% whey in Extreme Milk chocolate... Any ideas? I'm so new to this online shopping thing for supplements and I'd appreciate any help you may have.

Awesome, someone else who likes the Optimum Nutrition! My husband has always ordered this stuff for himself, and when I decided to get the band I started trying all his flavors (he has several). Currently, I'm on this kick where I mix half a scoop of the vanilla Ice Cream flavor with half a scoop of the Rocky Road flavor (my husband says Rocky Road is the best chocolate flavor they have!). I mix those two flavors with 8-10oz of 2% milk, add about 3 ice cubes, and blend it in the Bullet for a few seconds. :Dancing_wub:

You should definitely invest in the Rocky Road if you like chocolate Protein shakes. :Dancing_sorry:

I ordered my Protein powder from www.unjury.com. I read about it here on lapbandtalk.com. It is really not too bad. It is a lot smoother in texture than the stuff I bought from GNC. They even send you recipes with your order. Hope this helps.

I ordered the individuals that powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury had for sale. I got one of each flavor, and personally, I didn't enjoy them half as much as the Optimum Nutrition flavors I've tried.

Jmegirl, where do you guys get your Optimum Nutrition powder? I tried the Rocky Road and it was a little too sweet for me. The Extreme Milk Choc reminds me of a frosty from Wendys.

We order from them because they have really great prices. They've also got all sorts of free stuff they give away when you order a certain dollar amount - like a free t-shirt with $100 purchase. Plus, the company is based about 3hrs away from us, so even their cheapest ground shipping gets here in 2 days. :cool:

I ordered a sample bag of Protein drinks from www.bariatriceating.com - my favorite is the ready-to-drink "Oh Yeah" in vanilla cream - even my teenage daughters love it! Good Luck!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
