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.

Hope that helps!

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!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
