Scared of the protein powder....



Recommended Posts

I bought a sample vanilla Protein Powder from CVS and tried it this morning. I now know what everybody was talking about the smell!! It was horrible!! I took one drink and dumped it down the drain!! I go to the NUT Tuesday and I will probably be put on 2 week liquid diet then, so I was trying out. Now, I'm scared I won't be able to tolorate them!! I have some Sentrax nectar samples coming in the mail. Please tell me not all of them are this awful!!!!

I am using Unjury, not bad at all, no smell either. I first ordered a sample kit then ordered the large in unflavored that can be used with Soups, pudding, liquified fruit juices, or anything you want to add it to and strawberry sorbet which I mix with lemonade and frozen strawberries.

No. They're not all that awful. Some of my favs are unjury unflavored and chocolate flavor, dessert Protein, Atkins shakes and my ultimate Fav is core power.

I like a lot of them. The nectar samples are good. I got 2 sample packs of them and I seem to like the juice ones best. i also really dig the unjury chicken Soup. Unjury has the unflavored one to use in Jello and such if you'd like.

with the chicken Soup you have to be careful to not get it too hot.

I have only tried one nectar, and it was so yummi. So I am going tomorrow to the capital to buy 7 more samples to try out. Normally I hate Protein Shakes, espessially those thick Meal Replacement ones. I am so happy to have found nectar, and I love it is thin like juice or coolaid.

The nectar line is really good! My favorites of there's is the Double Stuffed Cookie, Vanilla Bean Torte, and Cappuccino is my absolute favorite! With a lot of there's you can't really go wrong. Except the Lemon Tea... Did not care for that one at all!

GNC brand unflavored, I put two scoops to 40oz of Water and 1 packet of raspberry lemonade crystal lite. I've been drinking this m-f for 4yrs now. I don't drink anything other then Water with lemon Sat & Sunday to give the kidneys a break from the Protein Powder.

      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.

        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... :(
