Hey everyone!

So I have started my diet which consists of 2-3 protein shakes a day. What brands of powder do you all suggest? My surgeons office recommends the brand that they sell

at the office (bariatric fusion), but if I could buy it at the grocery store it would be much cheaper.

Thanks!

I buy whey Protein powder (EAS Brand from Target, Choc or Vanilla) in the large purple plastic container. I mix it 50-50 with non-fat powdered milk (any brand) and then mix with Water. I like this as the two Proteins complement each other (whey and regular milk) and have 24 g. per 1/2 cup, aren't thick or slimy, and does not take my wallet to town.

@@Hannahb3997 just be careful buying protein. if your NUT suggest whey protein isolate, like mine, you will have to be careful and not buy just whey protein. you will probably pay less for whey protein vice WPI.

I like Unjury and Nectar.

Syntrax Nectars are my absolute favorite.

I also like unjury and Syntrax (Nectar) products the best. They don't have that awful Protein taste. But they are both pretty expensive - I think whey isolate protein is pretty expensive regardless of the manufacturer. You can buy Syntrax products in some stores - e.g., Vitamin Shoppe. Or you can get it online. Unjury is available exclusively online. If you want to try them, get samples first. You don't want to buy a huge tub of something you may hate!

Premier Protein ready made shakes are available at grocery stores and Walmart. I like them quite well and still drink at least 1 per day at 6 1/2 months post-op.

I use GNC Wheybolic Extreme 60. Mixed with either Fairlife milk or Soymilk. Holiday flavors are a welcome change. Candy Cane and pumpkin spice. Normal flavors are peanut butter, chocolate, banana creme, vanilla, strawberry and unflavored, which I add to greek yogurt.
