Protein powder choice help plz!



Recommended Posts

My nutritionist said to get any Protein Powder as long as per scoop it has 20-30grams Protein less than 3grams carbs and less than 3grams fat. As long as it meets those requirements get what tastes best to you.

Taste varies with everyone and sometimes tastes changes after surgery. Don't stock up before surgery. Instead go to places like GNC and get several single serving packages. The prices are higher, but you will get an idea what tastes good to you. I had decided pretty quick that I hated Protein Drinks until I got the idea of mixing the flavors! Now I will mix chocolate with vanilla, then add half a spoon of instant coffee. This tastes like Wendy's Frosties. You can mix chocolate with banana, vanilla and strawberry, there is no limit to the mixes. Measure 1/2 scoop of each. I always blend the mix with ice in the blender, but shaken with ice is not bad either. My favorite Protein mix brands are Unjury any flavor and Click coffee. There are several companies that will send samples for free if you contact them (phone, email, or snail mail)

Great idea to mix the flavors! I love Wendy's Frostys...I will have to try this and experiment a bit. I'm still pre-op, but I'm testing things out (still, my tastes may change, but who knows). Thanks for that tip!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
