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.

Look at the beginning of the Protein Powder forum and there is a whole list of places to get samples.< /p>

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
