Hello.. My name is Tracey and I will be having gastric sleeve in a month or so. I was told to get atleast 2 weeks with of protein powder. Can anyone suggest reasonable prices powders. ?good brands,taste,where to get them etc. One that I saw said 32 servings. How long will that last?

this is kind of an interesting topic here. Every one has different brands they like, some love them some hate them. Many people find that a protien they like pre op they can't stand post op. I would recommend trying to get some individual bottles of a couple different brands and seeing what you like the best

To know how long the powder will last, you need to know what your surgeon or nutritionist recommends on grams per day. Mine had some sort of calculation based on height and weight (said 71 grams minimum per day).

Then you'll need to know how many grams of Protein is in a 'serving' for the product.

i have tried this company www.rawdynamix.com/ and get the cold filtered whey . Super fast shipping and about $10 cheaper than unjury.http://www.unjury.com/ I put 1.5 scoops unflavored in my morning coffee.

Go to the search box and type in Protein powders. There are a million different brands. There are powders, RTD and clear drinks. It's honestly a matter of taste. What one person likes another will hate. Check out the online stores, the health food stores, Whole Foods and drugs stores. Have a taste testing and find out what you like.

I just bought some Unjury and cant wait to taste it after my VSG 12/31

I would taste it before, just in case you don't like it you can get something else

Sample all kinds

My first choice is Syntrax Nectar flavors. I mix 1 full scoop with a spoon, no blender & it mixes perfect. Check out all the flavors available on VitaminShoppe.com

1 full scoop has 23 grams of protein, zero sugar & zero carbs.

I found that I do like unjury, but it is expensive! I tried one RTD brand, EAS Advantage and that was okay - not my favorite. Also, I hear Premier is good and you can buy at Wal-Mart and costco. I have yet to try that brand as they are always out when I go.

But, yeah, to echo everyone else, it is trial and error and totally preference.

My doctor gave me two choices, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or Bariatric Advantage for my 2 week pre-op. I ordered the sample pack from Unjury, it comes with 2 servings of each flavor, a thermometer and a mixing bottle.

Good luck

I use Premier protein. I have the chocolate liquid shakes and then the vanilla protein powder. The chocolate shakes taste like chocolate milk and the vanilla can be mixed in with everything. Both kinds are 30 grams of protein. My doctor recommended it because it pretty much has the highest amount of protein out of all of them. My dad had the sleeve surgery 3 years ago and he also recommended Premier for protein too.

I bought the samples ones before to try them before I get the big one... In my case I only like the chocolate splendor.

Just got Quest powder at Vitamin Shoppe on sale...nice...

Isopure is my new thing.

I tested a bunch of different kinds and found that the pre-made Pure Protein tasted o.k. to me. I was grateful that after my surgery this week, that they still taste good to me, as I have over 32 12oz cans of it in my fridge. Pure Protein has 35 grams per can and only 4grams of carbs. I have tried three of the different flavors; chocolate, strawberry and banana.

My favorite is bodyfortress. The chocolate with some peanut butter is awesome. I did try this brand called pure protein and it tastes like cardboard. But you can't buy a reasonable size of it so I have to muddle through with that vanilla flavored cardboard until it's gone.
