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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
