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.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
