Protein Powders ?



Recommended Posts

Do most of you use the flavored or unflavored Protein powders and if so do you have favorites?

Syntrax Nectars powder. I like the Cappuccino flavor the best. I also like the Lemonaide, Fuzzy Navel, Crystal Sky, and strawberry Kiwi. I like that they taste good mixed with Water, and that they mix very easily with just a spoon... and don't clump.

I like the Syntrax Nectars for flavored and Isopure whey 0 carb for my unflavored. I usually flavor it with frozen strawberries or unsweetened cocoa (with splenda) or even some sugar-free syrups. I really like the Syntrax flavors I've tried.

I like Syntrax Nectar sweets (Chocolate Truffle & Cappuccino in particular). Unjury chocolate Splendor, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Double Rich Chocolate. My absolute favorite is Chike Iced coffee. I mix with either unsweetened cashew milk or (for a treat) almond milk hint-of-honey vanilla. I tend to use lots of mix-ins like instant coffee, SF hazelnut Syrup, SF cinnamon vanilla syrup, etc.

Wow I just looked at the Syntrax website and they are EXPENSIVE. Mainly because I hate to spend so much before I know I will like it. Does anyone know where you can get test packs?

You can contact syntrex and they'll send you a sample pack for about $15. I didn't like any of the flavored besides Cappuccino. I use an unflavored Protein that mixes well and I got it from Amazon for only $21. I put it in whatever crystal lite I'm drinking and that way I get both my fluids and my protein in!

They will sell you a sample pack for around $20 if you phone the company. I scoffed when I first heard that, but the woman I spoke to was super friendly and helpful. I particularly wanted to try the fruit flavored powders in the hopes I will have more options when the time comes. I really like them. I don't remember the exact nutritional count, but they have 25-30g Protein and 0 carbs. The chocolate truffle is 100 calories if I remember correctly.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
