Yet ANOTHER prorein question???

Hey Everyone With all the protein powder I purchased (I'm tired of some of the taste already)which i will probably hate post op. I didnt get anything unflavored to add to food. Any and all suggestions welcome~Thanks!

Honestly I bought a flavored whey powder that was recommended by CORI and it made me WAY TOO FULL. I am talking I could barely eat OR drink anything else for the day! Well at my 6 week check I asked about Isopure Zero Carb. I was told it is a good one to drink and to go ahead and get some. Well 20oz has 40g of protein. I just alternate it between glasses of water and it is GREAT! It still counts toward you liquid intake for the day so that is good too. It comes in like 6 flavors and GNC has it on sale until the end of June *I think thats what they said!* for 2.63 each. Just wanted to throw an idea out there if you find after surgery you can't tolerate Whey protein. Jennifer 355/307/142

What I was getting at and failed to say (LOL) was that you really might want to wait until after surgery to buy anything else. I never thought I would have the issue I did!

OK I see I spelled protein wrong!!! I think you are RIGHT!!!!!! I better wait.

I can tell you I've tried almost every protein powder on the market. First and most importantly remember this - your tastes will change after surgery. It happens to most all, so what you may like now, doesn't mean you'll like it post-op. That said, almost everyone I've come across (including myself) have liked Unjury. They have chocolate, strawberry, vanilla and unflavored. I have found it to be the most user friendly (stirs in easily... blends well, not a nasty after taste etc) and palatable protein. If your NUT doesn't have samples for you, go to unjury.com and order a sample packet. Sheryl In the Zoo

Yeah, Sheryl I am worried about changing taste buds!! I've heard others say the same thing. Thanks I'll check out the unjury!! Simone

Simone, One of the things that you can add to foods that has little taste is powdered milk. You can use it to add protein to yogurt, SF pudding, etc. Jeanne

Thanks Jeanne, I had'nt thought of that!! Good Do you attend the support groups at CORI? If so do you know when the next one is????? ~Simone

Cori has their next one on the 24th at the Warren office from 6:30-8:00. They are now all at the office and every 2 weeks!

Simone, I do go to the CORI groups although I haven't been since the surgery. The first was the day I came home from the hospital, the last one I was out of town. I'm planning on being there Wednesday night. I know that you probably won't be there for that one, it's the night before your surgery. E-mail me your name and I'll try to get down to visit while you're there. The gym I joined is BRAZA at Rehab and I need to get down there. It's convient when I'm working but not when I'm recouperating. Jeanne
