protein powders



Recommended Posts

I used Dymatize Elite Cafe Mocha (with 8 oz of skim milk it goes about 32 grams of protein). VERY tastey. I have that for Breakfast each morning. I also drink Isopure Protein clear drinks. They are like koolaid and they are NOT BAD at all. Come in about 8 flavors. One bottle has 40 grams of Protein and about 80 calories. Great for a supplement. Check out the website...

Make sure the Protein powders you are using are appropriate for bariatric patients, not made for jocks. A good one should have more than 20 grams of protein in a scoop and no carbs. And it must taste good....there are good ones on the market, you don't have to settle for yucky-tasting stuff (and there is a lot of that on the market!). EAS & whey Gourmet are two of my favorites.

I was just Protein shopping and found that Slim fast low carb has the most protein and lowest carbs out of all the slim fasts, Atkins. I was going to do the powder jock stuff, but that had 20gram of carbs! Also realized carb shopping, that apples, bananas, and some veggies have a lot of carbs!

I used to think that Slim Fast had too much sugar in it...did they change it?

I love the EAS powder..I get it at Sams Club and it lasts months.

Slim Fast does have a low-carb version. My nutritionist even recommended it. I haven't checked it out yet.

I use and love Cinch powders...they aren't as high in Proteins as the others mentioned, but they also aren't as chalky tasting. Plus, the have Leucine in them...it's an amino acid that bonds to lean muscle and aids in retaining muscle mass while losing weight.

I use the vanilla flavored Isopure, and I make a shake in the morning with a cup of fat free skim milk, one scoop of powder, and a few frozen fresh strawberries or frozen blueberries. It tastes great and it's like 30 grams of Protein per shake. It's the best tasting recipe I've come up with so far, I went thru some NASTY powders before I found the ISOPURE. Don't get it at GNC, they charge an arm and a leg for it!!

      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! 😞
