Which Protein Powder to Buy?



Recommended Posts

I am having surgery soon and want to get ready -- the products all come in large amounts and I don't want to buy the "wrong" one is there one that is the best? What about if you are diabetic?

I just bought a Soy Protein Powder made by EAS at Wal-Mart it is 14 servings for just 6.98, I got the vanilla flavor and it is actually very good, I blend it with milk, ice and a bannana, I figured I was safe buying it at that price and only 14 servings in the event I did not like it, not much was invested in it

I have never really been into the Protein Drink thing since I do not like to use my calories in liquid form,and never really found a Protein powder I liked the taste of however there are days when I am very tight so I am using this as an alternative on those days which has been the last 2 days in the morning, the added pottassium with the bananna has allready made a diference in my leg cramps at night.

I really liked the 'Nectar' brand. You can find it online or in some supplement stores. I really liked the 'fuzzy navel' (i.e. peach!) and I would mix it with some Crystal Light Lemonade and have peach lemonade! Yummmmmy!!!

I like the Musashi product, but not the premixed stuff. I generally make fruit smoothies with it.

Your local vitamin/nutrient/supplement store should be able to recommend something specifically for you and your situation though.

buying the big "kegs" is the most economical - if you can find one you like. Go to GNC and pick one out that has protien Isolate in the ingredients - that is a higher quality than the concentrate. Keep your receipt - try it for a few days - if you dont like it GNC will take it back and refund your money. Keep trying untill you find one you like.

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.
