Reviews of protein powders?



Recommended Posts

<p>I like AchievOne coffee/latte style drinks - four flavors, 9.5 ounces, 20g Protein and NOT THICK!!! You can buy them at bariatriceating dot com. They have totally enabled me to get in my 80-100 g of Protein a day with only 120 calories...I am so tight in the morning that a couple of these in the morning with my usual coffee keeps me satisfied until about 1300 when I can usually eat...</p>

you can also get a taster/sampler pack too so you can decide which you like best

Pre-Op I started testing different Protein powders to find which tasted the best, because I am really finicky when it comes to tastes. Once I tasted the Unjury, I knew my search was over! Their chocolate tastes just as good as a glass of chocolate milk. Their vanilla is good too! www.unjury.com is the site, you can order sample sizes to try them out for yourself before committing to a large container.

I just wanted to add another vote for Unjury. It's the only one I've tried (and I've tried dozens) that didn't make me gag. It's actually tasty!

I did the same thing... ordered samples from unjury.com and bariatriceating.com and tried them all... vanilla Unjury is #1 for me right now (Every morning I mix it w/1/2 carton of vanilla micellar Protein milk & 1/2 scoop of low-carb chai tea mix and am in heaven w/40 g of protein!). My other fav is whey Gourmet choc/pb cup Protein powder... I mix it w/either the vanilla or chocolate micellar milk... yum!

Another recipe that's great for this time of year: 1 Jello sugar-free vanilla pudding (60 calories), mixed w/1 scoop vanilla unjury, 2 packets of splenda, 2 T of canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix) & a dash of cinnamon... mix it all up & it tastes like you're eating the inside of a pumpkin pie! Yum-o!

What is micellar milk?

Sounds interesting, if you could tell more! I just ordered some samples of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I've tried the EAS (not too bad) and the unflavored whey (not bad, but I swear it leaves an after taste) and the nector (made me gag!!) So I'm hoping the Unjury will add some more variety! I'm liking the sound of 40grams of Protein in one drink.......fill me in on the micellar milk!

Thanks

I tried one from nectar that was supposed to be iced tea flavor and it was repulsive. Now I use Whole Foods Brand vanilla soy Protein Powder, but I don't use it much anymore (trying to get Protein from food, not powder). But in the early stages of my banding it was a lifesaver. Mixed it with fruit, yogurt, and orange juice for a delicious smoothie.< /p>

Is there a place that has reviews of all the many types of Protein powders?
I've not come across any. However, if you search here (or just any WLS or even bodybuilding) site, I'm sure you'll find lots of individual responses/reviews.

I've not tried unjury. My personal favorite powders are the Six Star whey Protein, in chocolate or vanilla. If I cannot get those, I will buy the EAS (whatever kind comes in the big bag at Sam's). I used to go with Unjury, and once I mixed it with milk & other things for flavor it wasn't horrible, but it's not one of my favs anymore. I've tried several of the pre-made drinks as well, and of those my favorite is the EAS AdvantEDGE in strawberry, but you have to drink it REALLY cold or it's not that great. :)

Immediately post-op, and maybe for 8 - 10 months afterwards, I would have them for a meal, and/or a supplement. For a while, a choclate shake with a spoon of Peanut Butter blended in would be my desert. I'm still too tight in the early day for much more than Soup, so if I'm hungry (rare occasion) before evening, I may also have a shake for Breakfast OR lunch - not both, because they fill me up for a long time.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
