Protien Powder/Drink Samples



Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I am just starting this journey of getting approved for WLS, but I have been reading that a lot of people advise to get lots of samples of protien shakes before hand to see what you like. Can anyone tell me what is a good way to go about getting samples? Can you just buy individual pakets of protien powder, or one single shake? Can any one recommend a good tasting shake? Any additional info would be great as well :)

Thanks!

This is the CVS whey Protein powder (Chocolate). It is delicious and very reasonable.

These are some of the ingredientes...

  • Protein Amino Acid Blend
  • Whey Protein Isolate
  • L-Leucine Partially Hydolized whey Protein
  • L-Isolefucine L-Valine
  • Maltodextrin
  • Creatine Monohydrate
  • Dutch Processed Cocoa Powder
  • Nondairy Creamer (Sunflower oil, Corn Syrup solids, Sodium Caseinate, Mono-and Diglycerides, Dipotassium Phosphate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Lecithin, Tocopheroles)
  • Natrual and Artifical Flavors
  • Guar Gum
  • Cellulose Gum
  • Lecithin
  • Acesulfame
  • Potassium
  • Sucralose
  • Papain
  • Amylase

Does this look ok?

Also have Vitamin question--are the gummies ok? I also saw a mini mutivitamin, has anyone tried it? I am concerned about getting all the Vitamins down after surgery(I dont like them now) Alos tried the liguid B12, horrible and you need an entire teaspoon.

My Nut said no, if you read the ingredients there's about half of what you need. I can't find a good chewable so I'm being bad and taking the gummies, post op for first week.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
