Protien mix samples



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where online or in a store where I can get free/ low cost samples of the different protien supps? I don't want to commit to a $20 container without trying first if possible!

Also, what are your favorites?

I love unjury... the chocolate flavor... they have samples, but they cost something (like 1.25)... look online unjury.com... and see what they have. If you call them they might send out samples free... can't hurt to call :biggrin:

BariatricEating.com sells a sample package that has a bunch of different samples and a shaker bottle. If you get the one without the book (the book's aimed mostly at RNY patients), it costs about $32, I think.

I ordered a bunch of Protein Powder samples right before my surgery from Vitalady.com - Protein supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks! It is a great way to sample them and then go buy what you really like. I think I paid about $1.50 or a bit more for each sample, but after all, it was my whole meal, so really that isn't bad at all. I kept the order printout with the samples and wrote next to each one after drinking it whether I hated, liked or loved it.

If you go to GNC and keep your receipt, they will take back the whole jug and refund your money if you don't like it. I specifically asked that when I purchased the Isopure. I wasn't sure about the low carb, low fat powder with 45g Protein, thought it would take bad.

You can also get Designer whey Protein to go packs for about $1.25 to try. Those you mix in with a bottle of Water and get about 10g of protein.

Thanks for the replies, everyone! Do they make any protien whey powders that dissolve into any liquid and are clear and tasteless? I'm looking for something to add to anything, and, basically, not be able to know it's there-

Unjury has an unflavored Protein powder. I wouldn't say that you can't tell it's there, but it is definately not bad. YOu can order a sample of it from their website as well. I have been pleased with unjury powder.

We have an HEB Market here (kind of like a very upscale HEB), they have an entire section of Protein powders and bars and such, they had LOTS of samples, I paid 100-225 per sample - and I am glad I did, I have found a couple that I couldn't even finish. Yuck! I have been trying the bars, some are awesome and some, what were they thinking!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
