Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Isolate



Recommended Posts

Has anyone used this powder Protein? I found it at costco. One scoop has 140 calories, 1 gram fat, 3 carbs (1 sugar), and 30 grams of protein. Thanks.

I got the strawberry banana flavor in a tub and just threw the rest away yesterday. It tasted okay at first but I got tired of it quickly. Even with milk I didn't like it.

I used the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% whey Protein in French vanilla, which I bought at GNC. Pre-op I also enjoyed in chocolate but after surgery I didn't care for chocolate. One scoop of vanilla has 120 calories, 3 grams carbs, and 24 grams Protein.< /p>

Thanks DonRodolfo and Isereno. I guess I'm going to buy it since it is about $60 for a 4.5 pound tub which I thought was a good deal. I'm going to be on a 2 week pre-op diet and then 4 weeks liquid post-op diet. I figure if I get tired of it when I first start out I can move it to the back of the shelf for a while and try something different for a bit. I know many people say their likes/dislikes change post surgery, so it won't hurt to have a rarity in the house.

I bought that tub at costco in vanilla shake for $49.99 last month. I have not tried it straight, but use it as a base. I have liked it just fine.

Best shake I've made with it so far - 1 scoop vanilla ON whey Protein isolate + 2 TBSP PB2 + .75 cup nonfat greek yogurt + 1/2 cup Water + 5 ice cubes + blend = yum!

I use this and really like it. It doesn't have that protein smell.

The good news is that costco has an amazing return policy. It you try it and don't like it you can return it.

DaybyDay I forgot about Costco's return policy. Thanks for the reminder.

That is so true - love costco! I had a bad reaction to the B12 I bought there, and I returned it, and easily got my refund.

I LOVE the chocolate 100% whey from costco! It is so so good! I use it as a base with a bit of almond milk and half a banana with some ice... Blend that puppy up... Yummy! Seriously.. It's fantastic.... Also if you have a vitamix blender... You can blend it longer with the ice... And it turns into ice cream!!! Seriously! It comes out so thick you can use an ice cream scooper to serve it with!

      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! 😞
