What brands of unflavored Protein do you like? Where do you buy it and how much does it cost? How do you use it?

Thank you!

I just got Designer whey unflavored powder at the Vitamin Shoppe for $20 for a big 2 lb tub. It doesn't have much of a smell, which is good. I can still "taste" it in stuff a little- but I'm picky. I plan on adding it to crystal light when I'm post op.

I don't use any Protein powders/supplements. I did try them at first, but now I found that I can get my 60g. a day in without using all that stuff. It is expensive and I think even the unflavored ones have a taste. There are lots of them out there. Good luck!! Becky

If you want to add Protein to COLD things, try egg whites. You can get the next to the egg beaters in the cold section of your grocery.

it is 25 calories/5 Proteins per serving.

I add it to my carnation drink and to cottage cheese (i put mine in the food processor because i don't like the texture of CC) and it does not change the taste at all.

I *think* i pay 1.74 for a pint.

I'm allergic to artificial sweetners and most Protein drinks contain some type of them, so i use the egg whites and it's worked out great!

I purchased the Trader's Joe unflavored Protein and it is nasty.

I tried to add to Decaf iced tea and it was so bad, I tossed it.

I'm going to try in hot tea, maybe that will be better.

Buy discount Protein, Vitamins, sports supplements at NutraBio.com.

I buy the 5lb unflavored, which lasts a long time. What I like best is that this is the only company that was able to assure me that their whey Protein isolate was made in United States from American cow milk.

Protein ISOLATE is the best quality and most absorbable form of protein.

The unflavored whey protein does have a powdered milk tasted (kind of like coffee creamer), but I like it. I add it to a cup of skim milk with half a banana or 1/2 cup berries and whirr it in the blender. I also make a Protein shake by adding it to the no sugar added Instant Breakfast with my blender. whey isolate can also be added to cream Soups, your morning coffee, mixed with milk and poured over Cereal, added to scrambled eggs.

What I do now, 5 weeks post-op, is wait until after dinner. If I didn't get my 60grms of protein, I'll use the Protein Powder to supplement my day's intake, which also curbs before bed hunger. When I'm rushed for time and can't eat Breakfast, then I begin the day with an Instant Breakfast Protein Shake.< /p>

Hope this helps!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
