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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
