Need recommendations for unflavored/ unsweetened Protein powders. I found Isopure at Target and I’m going to pick up a small package to try it. But anyone else have recommendations?

I’m looking for creaminess with ZERO flavor or sweetener.

I don't know of anything I would call "creamy". Some blend better than others but creamy is a stretch.

Unjury blends up good.

Procel was prescribed for my peo-op diet by my medical team. Tastes like cheerio milk.

Not creamy but I could not taste my Isopure in anything I put it in. I did not just add to Water and try that though. Mostly put in Soups.

I guess creamy doesn’t need to be a requirement lol I was being hopeful. I do mix my Protein with Califia Farms toasted coconut milk which is amazing on its own. So I guess the unflavored aspect is the most important. Thanks for the suggestions!!

Mmmmmm cheerio milk!!! I’ll have to try it.

My instructions were to put 5 scoops (they're small) into like 8oz almond milk or whatever.

Are you looking for just Protein or do you want all of the vitamins/minerals that typically come with most Protein Drinks?

If you just want the protein, buy unflavored whey protein concentrate on Amazon (I buy the Bulk supplements brand). I add it to my morning coffee -- tastes like a very weak skim milk. If you mix it with anything that has any kind of strong flavor, you won't notice the taste.

If you want something unflavored that has the vitamins/minerals, buy Keto Chow Base powder. It doesn't have the protein (mixing it with the Bulk Supplements whey would solve that problem), but it has a ton of necessary vitamins/minerals.

These options are probably cheaper than the Procel...

Maybe try these first - or at least do a price break down before you order.

      I weighed 199 pounds (90 kg) this morning! I felt accomplished and happy, and celebrated by going to the gym to lift some weights. Hoping everyone else out there is making progress, whether you are pre- or post-op 😊
      Today is 7 weeks and two days post-op for me. I've been through two stalls already, but I am sticking to the program. I want long-term success from all of the sacrifice and pain. You all know I mean!

      Okay so, as of yesterday my insurance company contacted me direction to say, that I was approved and have completed all the required items on the "To Do List". so, I should be getting my appointment next week for meeting with the Anesthesiologist. I'm very excited/nervous, but extremely happy too.

      Tomorrow will be 7 weeks since surgery. Yesterday i found that I was able to finally drink more than a sip at a time. I am SO grateful! I have always loved drinking water and it has been my primary beverage for most of my life; losing the ability to drink a lot of it was my first post-surgical regret. Being able to drink more than a tiny sip at a time makes me feel so much more normal.
      I'm eating around 500-700 calories a day, and have hit my second stall. I have begun to only weigh myself once a week. I've made to the gym twice since surgery, but I've been walking my pup and walking at work up to 3 miles a day on average.
      I've also been using resistance bands and stretching. I'm not quite ready for twisty yoga stuff yet. Or jogging. I did do a 10+ mile bicycle ride last weekend with a friend to a coffee shop where I had a cold decaf coffee with half and half. That was another activity that made me feel kinda normal.
      I'm still drinking one protein drink a day, trying to hit my goal of at least 60 grams a day. Today I got 72 in thanks to a cold G Zero with 10 grams.
      My abdomen is still a bit sore in general. The way I understand it, the inside is not fully healed until 3 months after surgery. That means sometime around November 1st. This is when I will go on the forever way of eating according to my provider's plan. I look forward to that day.
      Oh! And I should mention that I learned about a chain restaurant that is in about 30 or so states. It is called Clean Eatz, and they have a menu that is friendly to we bariatric patients. My support group last night talked about getting pizza and flatbreads from there. I checked it out and it looks like it's both eat-in and takeaway. This is the first place I'm going when I feel ready to eat out again

      Does anyone know, how long it takes for Medicare to approve surgery?

        I think it depends entirely on what guidelines you're being referred under. I had that kind of insurance through the state as a low-income person for 10 years and even though I was over 400 lb for 10 years they denied me. All based on the fact that I did not have diabetes. I switched insurances once I was offered a different kind of coverage from work and was approved within two months

        Medicare or Medicaid?

        They both have a serious of hoops to jump through before you can meet the surgeon. After you meet the requirements and as long as you do not run into any gatekeepers, the surgery will be okayed by your insurance pretty quickly after the surgeon clears you. One other consideration is when the clinic will actually schedule you for surgery THAT can take awhile depending on how backed up they are.

      I got a little bag of samples when I saw the nutritionist last week. Turns out I much prefer the Celebrate 45 Tropical Twist vitamins to the Bariatric Fusion orange flavor, so I've placed an order for those and the sweet treat assortment of calcium soft chews, which were almost dangerously tasty. The Unjury chicken soup was better than the other brand I tried, but not enough to buy it. And their vanilla shake was vile. I just can't do artificial sweeteners, and probably not vanilla unless I add something to it to mask the flavor. The aftertaste was so strong and I had a vague impression of drinking baby formula. So far the only ones I've really liked have been the orange and peach flavored Syntrax Nectar Naturals, so I'm going to get two vegan fruit flavored options in case I have trouble with whey after.
