Reviews of protein powders?



Recommended Posts

In prepping for my surgery, I am trying lots of stuff. Haven't tried unjury yet, but have chocolate Isopure. Its alright, I can drink it, but not all the time. I have to find out from the doc if I can add fruit to it.

Picked up the unflavored Protein today at GNC, Designer whey Protein, 19 grams protein per scoop and 90 calories, 1 gram fat, 2grams sugar. I want to add it to the Smoothie frozen kits I got at Target for $2.49 for a change of pace as well as to other stuff now to start to get ready too.

SlimFast is still my backup, liquid in the can, I can drink that all day, the Proteins aren't as high though.

I just bought some Spiru-tein from the health food store. I got a package with a mixing cup that you shake and it came with 7 samples of different flavors. I haven't tried it yet...will do tomorrow and let you know. I hope it's good, but I'm also pretty picky. :D

Okay, I mixed the vanilla Spira-tein powder last night and set it in the refrigerator overnight. My first visual impression wasn't that good...it was foamy and had a green tinge to it. However, my first sip was okay...not too much of an aftertaste. The kids liked it.

This morning, I sipped on the remainder. It's really not too bad. It had thickened up overnight and had a shake-like consistency. Not much aftertaste this time.

Hope that helps :)

A friend of mine who had Gastric Bypass a couple years ago recommended Champion Pure whey Stack and I LOVE it. I wasn't too crazy about the strawberry, and haven't tried the vanilla (too boring!) but the rest have been really good - Especially the banana Scream and Cocoa Mochacinno. You can get them at Vitalady.com - Protein supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks!, which actually has a lot of good recommendations and stuff. The couple who run it had gastric bypass and have compiled good tasting stuff and tips for others who have similar surgeries. Check it out!

Definitely! I think entirely too many people miss out on so much waiting for things to be "good" instead of getting out there and making the best of what you''ve gt right then! As for the Whey Stack, it really is good, and they'll send you samples for about 2 each if you want to try them out first. I was really impressed with them AND you can use paypal.

      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
