Unfortunately, I had to go with the internet since I couldn't find any unflavored Protein in my local stores.

If you choose to go with the internet, I can recommend: [ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000GIUQOG/ref=oss_T15_product]Amazon.com: Optimum Nutrition 100% Any whey Instantized whey Protein, 2.7-Pound Tub: Health & Personal Care[/ame]

Best of luck. If you find something else that you like, please let us know.

I bought unflavored Protein powder at GNC for my clear stage.It's their own brand. It was fine mixed in crystal lite, SF, Hawaiian punch, etc. I didn't use it all up, so I mixed in in with my chocolate fudge pudding flavor from BSN lean Desserts and got rid of the rest of it.

Amerigirl,

Itried these,the orange mango tasted ok, they do have buttermilk and milk solids in it so not sure if it would be considered clear as I could not see thru it when mixed.

Both of the GNC's here offer a couple of different options of unflavored Protein. I got a couple of samples from the one GNC on base.

I agree with Tracy about the "unflavored". They didn't have any flavor, but there is definitely an undescribable taste in them.

Good thing about GNC is that they will take back products even partially used/opened containers.

Tiffykins,

Were they the store brands at GNC? Is the taste awful or would it be tolerable in Crystal Light? Are they ok for the clear liquid stage? I have a credit for GNC so that would work really well. Plus there protien is on sale right now.

I hated every single GNC brand of Protein. I had 1 sample of the unflavored that I tried to mix in the orange flavored crystal light, and I couldn't tolerate it. I also tried mixing it in greek yogurt, couldn't eat it.

I'm super picky though, and can't tolerate the way most Proteins smell. I'm not saying it won't work for you. I know some people that love that stuff.

Yes, you can use the Isopure ready to drink on the clear stage. I woudldn't buy too many though, because most people don't like it. I tolerated it just fine though.

My GNC unflavored came in a tub. Maybe they have smaller amounts that you can try. You can mix it in anything that will disguise the taste, but I would not mix it in Water. Walmart has their own brand of sf stuff that is like crystal lite and there are all those packets of different stuff near where that is on the shelf that you mix with Water and you can mix the Protein powder in that stuff too.

This morning I'm trying the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored in a cup of Earl Grey tea. It was a hassle to make. Put the powder in some Water and stir, then make tea and watch it cool to 130 degrees. Add a bit of fat free half and half to cool. The stirred the Protein into the tea. Reheat a touch. Smelled yuck. Added a cap full of Toriani sugar free vanilla so that I smell that when drinking.

This is the first unflavored that I've tried. I don't think I'd like it in Water or even crystal light (which I find too sweet now). Maybe in a cup of Soup or in Jello. I'm not a big coffee drinker but I might try it in a cup of Decaf over the weekend.

I'm still pre-op and experimenting. If I don't like something now, I'm pretty sure not to like it later.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
