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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
