Places to get liquid protein samples



Recommended Posts

I've signed up for a 'Protein Tasting Party' to be put on by the Pacific Nutrition & Wellness Co. this coming Tuesday here in the Seattle area. Perhaps there are organizations in your respective areas doing the same. Then you can get taste samples of the Protein products out there. FYI.

http://buildingbrawn.com They have dozens and dozens of different samples, from nectar Syntrax (awesome fruity flavors) to Protizyme (mmmm dessert flavors!). They cost $0.79-$1.79 each. I bought 17 samples and an amazing shaker for $30 Unfortunitely you can only get 1 sample of a product for most of them though, but its great for our changing taste buds after surgery!

i went to that site but I couldn't see where you can order samples. I saw that they had many different brands to choose from, but where do you go on that page to look at the samples?

Either click the 1 serving tab up top, or type in the search bar "1 serving" "protein" (both with "" just like that). Just look at the nutrition first, some are high in carbs & sugar!

Has anyone used Visalus Protein Powder? I tried some in December to try and lose some weight and get used to Protein shakes; it has a great flavor and can be mixed with milk or fruit juice. I'm going to ask my doctor if it is a good source of protein.

Visalus is NOT a good option because it is SOY Protein which is bad because of something to do with Estrogen - it raises Estrogen levels which can cause weight gain.

Still so overwhelmed by all of the brands/flavors/types....pre-op but trying to be prepared. Plus have 2 wks pre-op diet and I am thinking I may do 3 wks just to get that extra push of weight loss.

Anyway, while looking I found the BSN - Lean Dessert Protein shake for 1/2 the price at imedmart opposed to BSN website and just thought I would share. The flavors sound delicious.....

BSN lean dessert is really good. I like it a lot. The carbs and calories are a little higher than some Protein powders, but that's probably why it's good. I love the banana cream pudding.

Thanks so much Oregon Daisy for posting this list. I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet tomorrow, with surgery being on 10/22, and I was overwhelmed with all the choices! I just ordered several sample packets, so that should help! THANKS again!!!

Just new Info...

I ordered the Chike samples last week... shipping isn't $3 anymore..it's $6.95 ....samples were still worth it and I really enjoyed the Orange Creme...didn't care so much for the chocolate as it was really thick....probably would have been better in a blender with ice but I like my chocolate hot....(as in cocoa).

I'm going to try the banana today.

Buying these sample kits really gives you a great way to check out alot of products for minimal cost and gives you a great variety to prevent boredom too.

When you heat these powders depending on the temp they get thick and have lumps like bad gravy.

      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.

      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!!
