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.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
