Thumbs Up To 100% Casein Protein, Gnc Pro Performance, Choc Pb

Just had my first post surgery protein shake. A day or so ago, my husband and I went to GNC and stocked up on different types of protein powder. Different brands, flavors, some no-sugar-added, some fast release, some slow release, some "meal replacement" powders which include fiber.

 

The GNC guy said casein is a slow-release protein.

 

This particular brand I tried today makes a thick mixture with water. I like that. Pre-op I was drinking Amp Extreme 60 (very tasty!) which mixed thin with water and slightly thicker with water. I like the feel of more body in the drink.

 

So powders are different, and I'm glad I bought a variety to try.

 

Been faithful with my two 10-minute daily walks: one right after I wake up and one after dinner. I got the 10-min regular schedule idea from <The Expert's Guide to WEIGHT-LOSS SURGERY by Garth Davis, MD.> Good Book.

 

I feel fortunate not to have any problems drinking. This would be a lot harder, otherwise. Prayers and thoughts to all those out there whose stomachs aren't as accommodating as mine. Hopefully, you'll get more tolerance with time.

I'm glad you found something that you like. As the GNC guy said, casein is a slow release protein and with our new system, protein absorption is one of our challenges. Confirm with the nutritionist on your medical team, but I would suggest you have this before bedtime, so it can be in your system while you sleep.

When you first wake and after your exercise, your body really needs a quicker source of protein to prevent the body from cannibalising itself. Whey is suggested for that.
