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 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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
