Unflavored Protein Powder ... Where do I get this from?



Recommended Posts

Today I had my chocolate/peanut butter Protein shake with skim milk. I used to enjoy them ... for the most part. This morning it took EVERYTHING in me to get most of it down. I don't know if I've developed a milk intolerance or if it's just too sweet now? Whatever the case it was a struggle to get each sip down. :( I still feel slightly nauseous and I've moved on to drinking my Water with a splash of lemon juice in it.

I had surgery 8/17 and I'm going to venture into the world of mushy/soft foods sooner rather than later. I've seen posts where people mention adding flavorless Protein to their foods.

What is it and where do I get it from?

Thanks in advance!!!

I found mine at GNC. It is pretty good if you blend it well in yogurt I didn't care for it in Soup, maybe when you start eating chunky things it would be ok in Soup but I just couldn't get it blended well enough.

Good luck and Congratulations on your journey!!!!!

If you think it's milk intolerance you might try Lactaid milk. Does your doctor have you on a PPI like Prilosec, that could also help. If you are finding the premade or flavored Proteins too sweet, you could try the unflavored (Unjury is just one available) with syrups like sugar free Torani or DaVinci; then you can control how much you put in. I know it's really hard when those shakes just don't cut it any more. Good luck.

Syntrax makes a flavorless powder - it's nectar Medical. I've been using that, 2 scoops for 20 grams Protein. I've only been mixing with milk and sugar-free hershey's Syrup though, so I don't know how it would be in food.< /p>

Try bariatricadvantage.com. My doctor recommended I use their products for post-op diet and I ordered 30 days worth of Meal Replacement Protein Powder. I would be very surprised if they don't have what your looking for. Good luck and feel better.

Nestle is the maker of the Beneprotein. You can buy it from their site or Walkgreens/CVS.

I just picked up some plain Isopure Protein powder at the Vitamin Shoppe. $45.99 for the tub but it has 47 servings or something like that. It's not bad. Definitely have to watch it with cold items as it wants to clump. But, I use it in my carnation instant Breakfast for added Protein, my chicken soup(broth), etc. Oh also my sugar free Jello pudding.

I have been lactose intolerant for years and I am guessing after surgery the symptoms would be the same. It varies from person to person. Colic, feeling bloated & diarrhea are among the fun ones.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
