Protein - Brands?



Recommended Posts

I did not try powdered Protein. I drank the premade stuff. Iso-Pure seemed to be the least evil tasting. You can get it at GNC and it is carb free. The Alpine Punch and Grape flavors were better.

Reggers:

The chocolate Sportpharma brand is delicious and has 25 gms of Protein per serving. I bought it at my local grocery store where it costs about .47 a serving. I know it comes in big cannisters so it will probably will be even cheaper. I love the Fruit drinks from protica.com but they are very expensive (almost $2.30 per). They come in a shatter proof pre-measured containers however, so they are easy to travel with. Anyone else have suggestions????

If you like the taste of Protein powder (which I do in milk based drinks like fruit smoothies) I like Puritan Pride's powder. They can be bought online and shipped to you. I haven't tried unflavored yet, I am still waiting to find out about being banded.

Unjury is the best one I've had. Today I picked one up from Kashi Go-lean that isn't too bad. The only reason I'm on liquid protien though is because of DENTAL work!! lol

I second the vote for the Syntrax nectar. I love the Lemonade and the Cappuccino flavors. I've replace my morning latte with a nectar latte - I use a little cream to add fat since I don't believe in low fat eating and the Nectar is fat free. It's wonderful stuff. You can get it at bariatriceating.com or at a store near you. The online store sells sample sizes and a smaller 1 pound container if you're wanting to just try it first.

I LOVE Matrix 5.0 vanilla...I can add cocoa powder, strawberries, sf Reese's pb cups, use orange or grapefruit Crystal Light, etc. It's my favorite Protein powder! :)

I totally recc. trying SOY based Protein powder as opposed to whey. It tastes so much better. Not bitter and chalky. Specifically, the GNC brand protein powder. It's 15$ for a pretty big canister. My only complaint is that it is a little sweet -- not fake sweet - just sweet.

I like Muscle Milk carb conscious it has 22gm per 8oz- taste like cream.

The other one is New Whey Protein 25gm in 3oz put in freezer get slushy its like having a snow cone!!

I'm still 4 months away (if the insurance gods approve) from my surgery, but thought I would try some of these Protein Shakes you folks suggest. Have any of you tried Bolthouse Farms "Perfectly Protein? " It's vanilla chai tea with soy protein - 10g of protein per serving. It that good, bad or completely inappropriate for the band? It tastes great, so if it's the right stuff, I'd like to use it.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
