Protein Supplement Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I use unjury unflavored. You can order some individual pouches on-line. As long as your not heating it up past a certin degree It dosent change anytihng. I add it to pudding So I get desert with a Protein kick to it. I also add it to cottage cheese and other food that is creamy.

I was having a really hard time getting enough Protein in my system. AND my doctor told me NO MORE Protein shakes. So I have been trying high protein meals...Boiled egg for Breakfast...Takes a while but I manage to get it down. and super high protein tuna salad...I use Greek yougart instead of mayo for less fat and more protein. Seems to be working And I also make hummus for an added snack/lunch.

I found the Jillian Michaels (Biggest Loser) Protein Powder to be pretty good in the vanilla flavor, not chocolate. I mixed it with warm a little warm Water at first to dissolve it, then added more cool water, ice cubes and 2 oz of vanilla rice or almond milk and shook it hard. It was pretty good and not too thick. It filled me for a couple to 3 hours when I made 16 oz and sipped it over an hour or so in the morning on my drive to work.

I just bought Jillian's brand! I'm glad you said it's ok. I haven't tried it yet. I usually use Slimfast or Carnation Instant Breakfast, but I just want another option for liquids. I'm looking forward to trying Jillian's today @ lunch!

Both chocolate and vanilla flavors of Body Fortress (from Walmart) are awesome. I order sugar free flavored syrups from DiVinci.com. There is every flavor you can imagine so you can have anything from chocolate covered cherry to vanilla chai to peppermint patty. the sky is the limit with the sugar free syrups. I have a little Hamilton Beach blender. I fill it with 4 or 5 ice cubes, 8 oz of skim milk, a scoop of Protein powder and about 2 tbs. of Syrup. you can even add multiple syrups like pineapple and coconut with the vanilla and you have a pina colada. YUMMM. I have to be honest, I actually enjoy having them. They are really good.

I like the unjury strawberry Sorbet. It is good when mixed in Lemonade. I also tend to revert back to to Carnation Instant Breakfast Mixes (Sugar Free of course) :confused: - but they are hard to find. The premixed one are nasty.

I buy the sf cib powdered at cub foods or rainbow not sure where you live but I know here in MN you can get them in both veriaty pack and all chocolate 8 per pack for like $4.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
