Protein supplements



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have suggestions for a good Protein supplement? I really don't care too much for the vanilla and chocolate shake type. I prefer fruity.

I am loosing very slowly and I think it has alot to do with my protein intake. Will this help or do I need to up my "hard" protein?

Also how much food does your dr. say that you should be eating at a setting? Mine has told me 1/4 cup of food. Does that sound right?

Thanks so much in advance.

I really like the EAS Advantedge carb control strawberries n cream Protein Shakes. 110 calories, 3g of fat, 3g carbs, 0g sugar, and 17g Protein per 11 oz. I'm not convinced that increasing your protein intake will make you lose faster-but it may help you feel fuller longer and that's speaking for solid protein. I don't feel like the Protein Drinks keep me full at all. My doc recommends 1/2 cup of food 3 times a day-no Snacks. 1/4 cup seems like too little.

I really enjoy the nectar brand Protein powders. When they mix with Water they form like a clear juice. I am hooked on the lemon iced tea and the fruit punch.

The Vitamin House here in NM sells them, but I am not sure about GNC. You can buy a sample bag at My bariatric pantry (Bariatric Protein powders from Matrix 5.0, nectar, and Isopure) so you can try the flavors.

Good luck!

I really like the Champion Pure Protein whey stack its soo good. It has 23 grams of Protein per scoop. I get the chocolate one but they have tons of flavors. I've tried most of them. They have a Tropical Sunrise one that taste like orange or a banana and strawberry one.

I ordered samples of each flavor on www.vitalady.com to see which one I liked. The samples are only like $2 so its easy to order without comitting to one flavor. But now that I found the one I like I get the big bottles of them. I alternate between the choclate and Cookies and cream.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
