Non flavored protein powder



Recommended Posts

If you are unable to locate that, just wanted to pass on that Quest Nutrition has recently (in last month or two) come out with an unflavored Protein powder. Approx nutrition info per 30g scoop (about 4Tbs) -- Cal=100 Pro=23g. Available at Amazon, questnutrition.com, Vitamin Shoppe, GNC, etc. Careful about GNC--they seem very expensive. Retail most places seems to be $36-39.99 per 2 lb tub. Good luck finding what you're looking for.

If you can't find it, try the Trader Joe's unflavored soy Protein powder. It doesn't have a weird taste like a lot of the others and the best part is that its waaaay cheaper! I pay $12 for it vs. around $60 of the same size at GNC.

Someone had made comments about a non flavored Protein powder that is 30 grams of Protein in only 1 tablespoon. This either came from Amazon or eBay- does anyone know what the name of it is?

Just to be clear here, it's "the equivalent" of 30g of protein in that GENEPRO. You can decide for yourself if that's accurate. It's true that not all Proteins are created equal in terms of how much is absorbed into the body and how it is used by the body. So their claim that you are getting the benefit of 30g of protein in a tablespoon may be accurate, compared to some of the other protein sources available where the type of protein isn't absorbed well or utilized well by the body.

Jaimelogical is right, it isn't actually 30g of Protein because a tablespoon is itself only 15 grams and it doesn't take a mathematician to see you cannot get 30 grams from 15 grams. without imploding the universe that is. lol

I have a request in to them for a response and for taste test samples.< /p>

I use GENEPRO and really like it. I just received my second batch. It really does dissolve complete and doesn't affect texture or flavor of what you put it in. I do advise stirring before each sip if you're putting it in liquid, as it seems to settle a little if left untouched. I use it in my coffee each morning (I'm pre-op) and last night used a scoop in my tasty dinner of chicken broth. So long as you slowly mix it in while stirring (as opposed to just dumping the whole scoop at once) it has always worked fine for me!

As a side note - ordering directly from them is less expensive than Amazon, and i emailed customer service first they give me a coupon code (albiet small, but always good)

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
