What kind or brand of Protein is everybody using. I can't do the Atkins anymore. Bought a raw protein but it is too grimy and pasty for my stomach. Well it actually doesn't get that far I throw up before I swallow.

To this day I still drink GNC's brand Lean shake Swiss chocolate. If you go in they should let you sample them. They come in strawberry, vanilla and Choc but I didn't like the others, just the choc. I also could tolerate, and I use that term loosely Isopure from GNC in grape flavor, it's like Kook-aid but has an after taste.

Hi Justbk,

I like Unjury too. You can get it online at their website or I noticed that Amazon.com sells it too. Recently I have been using a Sam's Club brand that I/we think is pretty good. It only comes in one flavor, kinda vanilla-like, and dissolves pretty well. The stats are:

Protein - 23g

Carbs - 3g

Fat - 1.5g

General rule of thumb (as told to me by my doctor) is single-digit carbs, double-digit protein.

so you have had a bad protien experience yuck...

There are several out there that are made just for bariactrics and they are actually quite good

There are two kinds of protien powders : milk baised and those that can be mixed into fruit juie or Water.< /p>

I personlly like the Bariactric Advantage powder that you blend with fat free milk.

There is also the Syntrax Nectar protiens wich you can also find at the bariactric advantage site. That is one you can mix intowater and it tasteslike juice.

They taste much better then the junk sold at nutrtion stores.

I've heard a lot about these I may have to give these a try, thanks for posting. I don't drink my calories often but on occasion like Sundays on the way to church in a hurry I will grab a shake instead of eating.

I would like to also add that the whey Protein from body fortress is 26 grams protein per scoop. Word to the wise, we don't need o eat really higher protein at 1 meal. Your body will only absorb a certain amount at a time. So example drinking a 50 gram Protein Shake at once is not so great. Smaller amount at a time works better

Ya. that is what the counter person told me at GNC. I bought Isopure pinapple/banana/orange all in one mix for my clear liquid stage and I like it. it's 50grams of protein and serving size is 2 scoops. I use 1 scoop at a time for a 25g protein. I do want to try Bariatric Advantage

      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? 🤷‍♀️
