I'm reading my options in my binder but I can't have too many things yet....any advise would be greatly appreciated thanks!

I purchased unjury unflavored Protein powder prior to my surgery. After surgery, I added one scoop to 24 oz of Crystal Light one to two times a day. It's 21 grams of protein. Because of this I was meeting my protein goal of 60 grams post op day #4. Now, 6 1/2 weeks later I am down to 1 scoop a day. It's a lifesaver.

I'm a week post op tomorrow, and I'm still trying to get used to how much to drink and when. I've been using the Unjury protein too. I mix it with 4-5 oz. of the lite almond milk (30 Cal for 8 oz.) and squirt a flavor enhancer into it. No calories, and i bought about 4 different flavors. I mix 3 of those shakes a day and a fourth one in the evening is I'm not feeling overly stuffed. I drink my Protein Shakes over about a 30 min. period. The rest of the time I sip, sip sip Water, tea, crystal light, etc.

I feel so stuffed all the time though.

I tried the unflavored Unhurry in the Crystal light and didn't like it at all.

Is there an unflavored protein and you can add to things that doesn't make it creamy and off tasting? They have premixed drinks that are clear/fruit flavored that have protein in them, so why isn't there a protein we can find to make our own fruity drinks that aren't creamy looking????

Try looking for unflavored prosource liquid Protein. I found mine on amazon. I was given that in my crystal light mix in the hospital. One oz has 15g of protein in it. I mixed it with a full water bottle and my raspberry lemonade crystal light powder. You can taste it slightly but not much and the consistency is unchanged. I lived on this for the first 4 wks. Hope that helps!

I bought GENEPRO on Amazon, Because of some threads on BP. Everyone was raving about it! I was using unflavored Bariatric Advantage and believe me, you could taste it and had to use 2 large scoopes!!! The Genepro is great, only a tiny amount packs a lot of protein and you can't taste it. I've use it in so many things now, it's a great find!

Genepro is what I use. I like it in 4onces of one percent milk that's about all I can handle at a time 30 grams. Can anyone tell me for how long do we continue with 60 grams a day? please don't tell me that it is for life

I think if we get the flavorless protein powder we can add it to everything without adding calories

Well it DOES add calories. Protein has 4 calories per gram so if the powder is pure protein (no carbs or fat--which many powders do have in small amounts) it still has 4 calories per gram. Not that that is a bad thing, just for accuracy's sake.

The Genepro says it stimuates insulin.... isnt this what causes dimping?
