Protein powder question



Recommended Posts

I am wanting to get my Protein Powder on Amazon, I found Nuticost whey Protein Isolate. Does anyone use this brand? Or could someone recommend a good brand that isn't gonna break the bank?
Thanks!!

I haven't used that but do use Premier Protein, Protein20 Water & GENEPRO, unflavored. And what you like before surgery you might not like after just FYI.

I know there is a lot of controversy over it, but I swear by GENEPRO. It was recommended by my Dr. and Nut.

My personal suggestion is to get a few individual packs of different Protein Shakes because you will never know what you are going to tolerate after the surgery. GNC sells some great protien shakes and has a money back guarantee so if you don't or can't use it you can take it back. I had to take 5 different ones back after surgery because I was so lactose intolerant anything with isolate or whether made me physically ill. When I could somewhat tolerate a Protein Shake my go to was Unjury.

My favorite is Unjury. My doc wants the meal replacement/shake to have at least 25g of Protein per serving but Unjury Unflavored has 21 and I received a 👍 to use it. I seem to be OK as long as I don't have to smell it while drinking. I have held my nose at times. SMH! BUT with Unjury it does not seem to cause me problems.

What is GENEPRO and its controversy?

I use Raw Organic Meal by garden for life. It has 20 gm of Protein. They also have Raw Organic Protein which has 22 gm of protein. Check out their website.

They're being sued for false advertising, claiming to have more Protein in each scoop than they really do.

Can't open the page for some reason but will research this as I thought Sams Premier Protein was a good buy. Thanks---

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
