Which is the best unflavored whey protein powder/isolate for mixing w/ food/broths etc?



Recommended Posts

I can't have the normal Protein powders out there as they are usually never kosher/halal. So I was wondering whether anyone knew of any great tasting high Protein whey powders that I could use instead to amp up my liquids/foods/soups whatever from the get-go after the surgery. I really want to make sure I'm getting in as much protein as possible and want to put protein in basically everything I ingest lol. Have to make it count right! lol.

Another question I have regarding whey protein powders. I want to keep my carbs as low as possible (easily under the 50's in grams) and as clean as possible too, so I'm wondering how this "whey" stuff fares in that sense? Does the benefit of added protein outweigh the effects of "gluten" and carbohydrate ratio in the stuff?

Also, while we're on the subject....lol. Does anyone know if whey protein powders have sugar/sweeteners in them?

Thanks in advance to anyone and everyone who answers! :D

I use Unjury - given that my doctor/NUT are about high Protein, low carb, it may meet your requirements. I'm not going to pretend to understand the ins and outs of everything you're looking for, but feel free to google Unjury and you'll find their whey protein powders. For me, they're great! Shipping was also super fast :)

Thanks a bundle! I'll definitely look into that! BTW, you're so lucky your docs are on the high Protein low carb side!!!! What I wouldn't pay to find a doc with that same mentality for myself and my kids. lol. All the doctors I've been to are high carbs low fat monsters. They could care less what else I'm doing as long as I'm eating "enough whole grains" LOL.

Please explain how you hide it because I been trying everyday and I'm not doing to well with I guest cause I know it's there. I use the 100% whey before I had surgery and it was done but after no good so my Nut had me tried Isopure and this is the nastiest I every tasted and I brought right back up so now I'm trying to work in the whey with everything and everything I eat I'm adding Protein to it

I really like the way this one is formulated. Just visited the site and to be honest this is EXACTLY what I'm looking for initially. However, the Protein is a bit low for what I need in the first stages. Actually, the protein/carb ratio is rather too high for me to at the moment. However, I will most definitely change to this stuff ASAP once I get over the initial first few stages and can add in more protein "otherwise". Meaning, my sleeve is ready for "real" food. :D

Thanks a ton Lai!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
