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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
