Protein

I am really having a hard time finding a protein that I can stand the taste of. I know I have to have it, but It makes me feel sick. I have tried several samples and hate them all. Mabe you have to get used to them. Any ideas on what is best? Thanks Teresa

Theresa, Ultimately it's going to be your preference, but all I can say is don't give up. In the past 2 months, I've been through stages, and here's what works for me: 1st 2 weeks: ISOPURE ready to drink, WORLDWIDE ready to drink (cappucino) 3rd week-GNC chocolate protein powder, with skim milk Weeks 4 to 6- LOVED the SLIMFAST chocolate Royale for the low carb diet And then about three weeks ago I found NECTAR fuzzy navel! I love it! I also like the ANYWHEY tasteless protein, it makes a great banana smoothie. Good Luck and Hang in there!

How is the nectar fuzzy navel and ANYWHEY tastelsess protein? I was told that was pretty good.

Hey Lakisha, It is delicious!!!! the nectar gives you at least 24g per scoop, and you can camoflauge the Anywhey in virtually anything: soups, chili, kool-aid. It's pretty good

Do you have to special order the Nectar? I am going to try the Anywhey today. What do you mix with it? Will I taste the protein?

I got nectar a www.vitalady.com. It's like $20 for a 2.2 pound jug - but it lasts quite a while.

Hey lakisha, I order from bariatriceating.com. I do my any whey with sugar free kool aid, crystal light, lowfat chocolate milk, and chili. Let me know how you do!

Theresa, I feel your pain. I am lactose intolerant; therefore, that really cuts down on my choices. Can you intake milk and dairy products? Well, I am going to purchase a powder suggested by a friend and I will let you know how it is before you buy. She said that I could mix it with water or CL drinks, or even sugar free cool-aid? I will let you know! Hang in there! Lakisha

The only one I can handle is Unjury. Others make me gag. I lived on Isopure for the first 2 weeks and now I gag even by looking at the bottle. LOL

See my reply under Lakisha's "May Folks" post. I can usually get in at least 40g without supplements. Getting your protein through food sources instead of liquid is always preferred. If I do need to supplement, I use the AnyWhey Tasteless Protein or an AchievOne Coffee Protein drink (both avaiable at bariatriceating.com). I had some samples of the Nectar and they were pretty tasty. My surgeon's office recommends 3 glasses of skim per day as snacks. That in itself is 24g of protein. I also like the Sargento Light String Cheese (50 calories and 6g of protein). If you are looking for crunchy, soy nuts have 10g protein in 1/2 cup. Explore your food options before resorting to supplements! Take care, J
