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!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
