Which protein is best for "our" needs?



Recommended Posts

I tried "Optimum Nutrition" Platinum Hydro whey - Turbo Choclate flavour. It is quick dissolving, non gritty, no after taste. Lovely taste. But a bit too sweet for me. But otherwise very good. Very expensive. However no PDCAAS rating though !

Whey in general has a PDCAAS score of 1.000 , the best score possible.

You should try...About Time Protein powder' date=' you can get it a GNC. It has 25g of Protein, 103 calories - no artificial sugars, no artificial flavors, no grow hormones, gluten free, zero carbs, zero fat. It is 100% Whey protein isolate, which I hear is supposed to be good for us.

Did I mention it taste great?!?! I use it in my smoothies, that include kale/collard greens and pineapples with the "About Time" Protein powder added, it's like a pina colada. :P You can also mix it with Water in a Blender Bottle. I paid 30 for a 2lb container. I hope this helps.[/quote']

Letty1 what's your recipe for smoothie with greens? I gotta get me my greens!!!

My favorite powder Protein is Body Fortress whey Protein Isolate vanilla creme....

My favorite RTD is premier Protein shakes in chocolate.

I just found this protein the other day at Walmart...I got the vanilla for starters....what a nice change from Bariatric Advantage! It's not thick so I like that!

I'm a little scared, because a lot of you said nectar is great, well I'm going to have my surgery soon, and I was trying a last ditch diet!! But anyway I learned I really don't like the taste of Protein Shakes, I mean I put frozen berries in, almond milk, ice and it still tastes awful. If I don't like this is there any that I could possibly like, do I have to drink Protein shakes after having this surgery.

My favorite RTD is VPX Protein Rush but it is a little pricey. I had surgery 6 weeks ago and over the past few weeks my tastes have changed and I couldn't stand the taste of my Protein Powder anymore no matter what I did to it. I went to GNC and they recommended Amplify because the taste was different than most powders. I got the chocolate to try and its awesome, no aftertaste.

After a while you get more used to it.

I made a good shake (my husband tried for the 1st time ever and he liked it)

Syntrax nectar carribean cooler with pineapple and banana and coconut Water (it called for coconut milk) tasted just like a pina coloda minus alcohol lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
