What Are The Best Sources Of Healthy Proteins?

[betterthanbefore 19]

I want to get prepared for my post surgery.

[vsg30815 99]

Though I haven't had the surgery yet, from watching YouTube videos, most people are recommending the Isopure, Amplify Protein Powder, I am currently experimenting with the Unjury unflavored and it's not bad at all! I usually mix it with a Jamba juice smoothie or Skim milk and through a banana in the blender. Protein Jello, protein water....Hope this helps! Best wishes, I get sleeved on May 1!

I highly recommend the Unjury and nectar brands. They are 20-24g Protein per scoop mixed with Water, milk, soy, broths, etc. To boost for more protein, I'll usually use 1.5 scoops. I like making SF Jell-O with the unflavored Unjury to boost the protein. You'll most likely be on clear to full liquids for a few weeks, depending on your doctor's diet plan for you. Everyone's doctor is different. Mine had me on fluids for two weeks until I went to mushies. Then it was non-fat Greek yogurt, small curd cottage cheese which I still use today. After about a month, I was able to introduce shrimp, chicken (breast meat), turkey, scallops, fish, and some of the lighter cheeses. Can't stand the Isopure and don't do many of the ready-to-drink mixes as most are made with milk and I still can't do more than 4oz of skim milk every few days.

I had a lap band in 05. It is off now due to slippage and will have VSG in June. I like Unjury Protein chicken broth and the shakes in the can from Trade Joes- Purified Protein. EAS isn't bad but two cans of the 35g protein from Joe's is less to drink and you get your 70 grams protein.

All just MHO...

In terms of types of protein:

Hydrolysate Proteins are the best quality Proteins (in terms of what comes in a mix).

Next would be whey Protein isolates - especially good because they come lower carb. For he slightly reduced absorption compared to the hydrolysate proteins, the whey Protein isolates are my first choice (because they're low carb, I think they're much better tasting, and are absorbed quickly.)

How do i know the difference?

Read the can or the package and it will tell you if it's Whey Protein Isolate.

Here is something I posted previously:

Here's another post with more information.

dietdirect.com is a great site for a variety of Protein items. I love the BariWise hot chocolates! I add unflavored protein with it to get 40 g protein for Breakfast
