What Protein Supplement Do You Use?



Recommended Posts

I love the Unjury...chocolate and vanilla. My husband still prefers Muscle Milk and can get 72 grams of Protein in 1 shake. Higher in calories,,,but has worked well for him.

Your body can only use about 25 grams at a time. The rest is wasted.

I have a hard time with chaulky milky shake like Protein shakes/drinks. So, I found a 'clear' Protein Drink in grape and fruit punch I really enjoy called Protein Blitz. Its expensive, but if it doesn't make me sick its worth it. Now, I also have Unjury and Now 'unflavored' protein powders that I mix in my foods such as Soups, Jello, etc...

What's wrong with drinking the Atkins shakes frequently? I really like them.

Given that they all taste chalky to me - none.

And given that I'm now wheat free, gluten free, lactose free, soy free and anything ending in "ol" free, that pretty much rules out ANY Protein shake on the market here, lol.

That's not helpful, really, lol. I do however manage to get all the Protein I need with food.

I really like the EAS carbadvantedge. Rich dark chocolate and blend it with ice for a cool treat. 17 grams of carbs and about 110 calories.

Anyone have any suggestions on an unflavored brand to mix into food? I went into GNC and they only had 2 options. One was Soy which supposedly can mess with your estrogen levels so I'm not even trying that one and the other one was not a whey isolate. I also found out that Optimum Nutrition says whey Isolate, but only has a little bit of the isolates so they are permitted to put this on their label, unfortunateli as I just put in a big order for this.

I purchased this from Amazon, (now sports, unflavored) 51waorXwpgL.jpg it mixes very well up. I also purchased powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Unflavored too!

I just had a fill last week and my doctor said no more Protein Bars and shakes. Real food only! Does anyone know why I can't have them?

I use Wheybolic Extreme (half measure) 60 from GNC. Most of the ready made shakes are lacking in nutritional value' date=' so it is only in the rare instances for convenience that I use the Atkins shakes.

As you look for a product you like, look for the ingredient of "whey isolate protein". That's the best Protein nutrition choice for bariatric patients. [/quote']

So Atkins isn't considered a top choice?

I use muscle milk or light muscle milk. I can only drink the rtd ones though as I hate ALL Protein powders. I drink one daily

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
