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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
