Where do you buy your protein powder?



Recommended Posts

Is that thick or thin? I bought some BSN Lean Dessert and it mixes up really, really thick. I'm not liking it.

If it calls for 8oz. of Water, thin it out by using 10oz. Still the same amount of Protein.

On the flip side use 4oz. Water mix in a desert dish, and freeze. You will have a pudding.

Hope this helps.

I buy mine on ebay. I look for MUSCLE MILK LIGHT (any flavor except their chocolate. It's Lousy)

I like their strawberry Milkshake, chocolate Milk, Cookies n Creme, Peanut Butter Chocolate, and vanilla Creme.

I shop around for a decent price. I have a lady that I go through for $5.99, for a 1 1/2Lb. JUG. That is dirt cheap..

I have been emailing her but no response, so she must be on vacation, and I want some strawberry Milkshake.

I guess I'll have to wait till she gets back. She's a good business person too.

Good luck looking, but try some tasty stuff to, not just chocolate. Everyone tells me their sick of Chocolate..

Well I would be too. That's why I mix my selections up.

I have been trying a variety to find a good tasting shake that also has adequate protein; GNC Total Lean Shake is DELISH!! They're on sale- buy 1 get 50% off- plus u get additional 20% off any purchase with their gold card. The strawberries & cream is my favorite. I bought the RTD 1st to test them out. They also have a DietMinder Personal food & fitness Journal that has everything that you need to keep track of- plus its on sale! I am going back to get another one! Once I got home and realized how detailed but still simple it was- I knew I needed another one! Hope this helps.

Not sure if we are allowed to ask this or not but where do you buy your Protein powder from?

I've seen the actual Protein prices and the shipping prices vary so much from website to website.

Do any of you know who is truly the cheapest?

i buy mine at cvs pharmacy for 14.99 a bag,and its pretty good.i get the chocolate flavored

I buy from Netrition.com They have flat rate shipping of 4.95 whether you buy 1 item or 100. I prefer the Syntrax Nectars, but Netrition carries many many brands.

The only times I drink Protein are 1) after a fill 2) after a very strenuous workout 3) sometimes in the AM if I'm too busy to eat real food slowly (then I usually mix it with some greek yogurt and enough Water or crystal lite to make it drinkable).

The band does work best with real, solid, dense Protein. That's why some surgeons don't encourage the Protein drinks for bandsters.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
