Is the whey protien from walmart good for after the lapband

my surgeon and nutritionist ok'd it for me.

i love whey extreme in chocolate.....have one every morning. but always ask your dr to be sure

I am just trying protiens shakes out to make sure I like the tast!

If you want, I can share the list of acceptable Protein Drinks I got from my doctor.

That would be wonderful thank you!

I bought the Jillian Michaels protein powder from Walmart. It's not too bad. I do think I'm going to buy myself some of the UNJURY brand. I like that they have a chicken flavor one so you can add it to your broth!!!!

I have tried several "Protein Powders" since I was banded in September 2012. I just found an awesome one that has a protein level of "30 grams of protein" and "2 grams of sugar". The name is "On" Platinum Hydro Whey - you can find it on Amazon, trial size is about 17 -20 drinks- It is great after trying several brands of protein.

ErinSue2000,

Here's the list I have from my doctor: unjury, smoothie King Gladiator High Protein/Low Carb, Labarada Lean Body, EAS Myoplex Low Carb/Lite, BSN Syntha-6 Core Series, Isopure (20 oz bottle), Nature's Best Zero Carb Isopure (2 scoops), Nectal, Protein Shots (dilute in Propel), IDS Sports New-Whey 42 liquid Protein, Myoplex (regular), Myoplex Lite (2 scoops), Muscle Milk Lite, Worldwide Sport Pure Protein, Whey Isolate Protein (1 scoop)

Protein Powdered Mixes - A good Protein Drink should have the following nutrients per serving: +20 grams protein per scoop/serving, 7 grams or less of carbohydrate/sugars per scoop/serving, 5 grams or less of fat per scoop/serving

Hope that helps you with finding a protein drink.

MissMia9,

I have been using the unjury powders. I like the chocolate Spendor best. I tried the sample packet of the chicken flavored one, but I didn't care for it. It's not like regular chicken broth. It's got kind of a creamy texture to it, which is okay, but it was hard for me to finish the whole thing. You might want to try the unflavored powder and add it to a broth you like. I tried mixing it in sugar free Jello when I made it and it turned out okay. Except for the jello not being quite clear, I couldn't really taste it.

Does anybody use body frotress protien shots

I love the low carb Isopure shakes. You don't even need a blender, they mix up great with just a spoon.

body fortress is all I have ever used....it is so yummy and I mix mine with soy milk

Jay Robb Whey Protein / I mix with soy milk...I found it at Krogers and it is amazing! No after taste.

As of late, I have been drinking the ready to drink chocolate Premier Protein Shakes. They have 160 calories, 30 grams protein, 1 gram of sugar and 5 grams of carbohydrates. You can get them at Sam's Club or Costco. My Sam's Club has been selling them for $18.88 per case of 12. They are really convenient, taste good and if put them in the freezer for a bit, you get a nice thick frosty shake!
