Protein Powder Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I am afraid of getting tired of the basic Protein Powder flavors as well as the ready to drink shakes, so I'm looking for some unique flavors. Normally I will blend fruit in and make a smoothie, but I'm not allowed to do that pre-op or post-op. I like to keep vanilla, chocolate, and cake batter flavors on hand because they go well with a lot of different things. However, I'm afraid that not being able to make smoothies will make me get bored and struggle with staying on the diet, mainly pre-op.

Some of the powders that I currently like are Dymatize ISO 100, Quest, Yoli, and Optimum Nutrition. I've tried the Dymatize in the fruity pebbles flavor and it tastes just like drinking the milk from a bowl of fruity pebbles. I also ordered a sample pack from IdealFit with the mint chocolate, chocolate coconut, and caramel mocha flavors. I hope they are good!

What are some brands and flavors that you have really enjoyed?

Before my surgery, I ordered a lot of different samples of Protein powder, and IdealFit was my favorite. I love mixing the birthday cake with yogurt, and the chocolate brownie, chocolate coconut, and mint chocolate are good to drink. I have my eye on the chocolate cherry and butter pecan, but unfortunately, those aren't available in sample sizes and I'm not sure I want to commit to a huge tub without tasting it first.

I also got some interesting flavors from 1up Nutrition, Northbound Nutrition (Waves of Whey), KetoShop, and Black Magic Supply. They all have single-serving samples so you don't have to buy a whole tub.

I always liked Syntrax products. They have fruit flavors in addition to "milky" flavors. I also like Unjury products - but those you can only get through Unjury's Web site.

Bowmar, they have a sample pack with 20-25 different flavors and fit the criteria for pre op.

Awesome, thank you!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
