protein

Hello everyone,
I am new to this site. I had the RNY surgery in April 16 09. I am would like some advice about protein. Can anyone suggest a good protein out there? I have tried the bullets and do not care for them.  I have lost a total of 50 pounds since the surgery , which I am very happy about. Is it normal to get stuck?

Thanks for your help.

Oh my first off welcome to the board and you have ask the million dollar question. for everyone you ask you will get probably a different answer from each one. lol....i use to by only  ON 100%whey  now i buy Body fortress at wal mart.  it has the same amount of every thing and is cheaper.
I use a scoop of it disolved in faucet ho****er mixed with some splenda  then pour coffee in there for my first  protein drink for the day...taste like a latte lol 
 but like i said everyone has their choices and what they like best. a lot of people swear by the bullets but if you use them make sure they are 100% Whey protein. , that  is suppose to be the only protein that we absorb all of it. ...just know that you really need to get a protein  and take it daily, it is very very important.  yes it is normal to get stuck....all of us do it.   some lose a lot faster especially if they exercise  other lose slower....everyone is different.  keep coming to the board there are a lot of people out there that have a lot of info.   

Thank  you Jan C.

Dear Miz,
I think it's really hard to find a protein you "like". It's more a case of finding one you can drink and then just getting it down. I do still like the 42gm bullets but only because it is such a small amount to drink. I also like the Click Expresso, but anyone who knows me knows that I drink coffee constantly. I add three scoops of the Click to make it 22grams and also add extra Instant Expresso coffee and a couple of tablespoons of Fat Free 1/2 and 1/2 and then Splenda to taste. I don't really "like" it but I can get it down. I also just ordered a sample package of Chike protein and the samples were only $3.00 but as you can tell, even after 2 1/2 years I'm searching. Just keep experimenting, you can do it. Jan used to make the most amazing strawberry smoothies with her vanilla protein. Maybe you'd like that. I know she used frozen strawberries but not sure what else.
Hugs and hang in there. You have to remember the things you cannot slack on - protein, water and vitamins. Those are the essentials.
Hugs,
Lana

try Healthy-weightsupermarket.com ;)  This is where I got tons of protien that is fruit flavored, even soups and stuff

Hello,

I had my RNY one month before you to the day. Funny! I am down 82 lbs as of this AM.  Congrats on your 50 this whole weight coming off thing is so weird to me. I dont see myself any different but my clothes are all not fitting.

As for the protein. I tried the click at the Springfield meeting. It was very good, couldnt taste the protein in it. BIG PLUS FOR ME!! They also had some healthwise drinks that when cold were pretty good too. But I can only find them at the store in Springfield and driving an hour to get something really isnt worth it when I can have them send it to me for less by ordering online. But that is what I get for being at lost in the woods.

I have spent way to much money on protein that I can not stand to take, Tried the bullets and the taste of them make me gag, tried Isopure, it didnt taste bad but couldnt get past the film it leaves in my mouth. Also tried the walmart brand and didnt like it either.

So I finally broke down and ordered from Bariatriceating.com. They have some absolutely wonderful flavors. And 1 scoop is 30 grams of protein and it only goes into 4 oz of water. I have tried the Caramel Latte - that is my new AM drink, cause I really missed coffee. And I have tried the PomRazz Sangria- It is pretty good too, but I am having issues getting it not to clump, think it is me though. They also have peanut butter cookie, ice cream sandwich, chocolate peanut butter fudge and Cinammon Cappucino. They were out of those when I ordered so I have yet to try them. But will. I couldnt taste a bit of protein and there is less than 2 carbs ( I honestly think less than 1 even) and no sugar. Check it out.

Good Luck on your quest.

Thank you everyone for the advice.

ee i told you you would get lots of answers about protein....every one has their own taste... some of us our taste change and some of us say our didnt . mine didnt for the most part but you never know when your time will come. lol one time you can eat something and it is good the next time it wont go.......
so if you live close enough to Springfield ...we have a support meeting the 4 monday of every month this month it is the 24th....and is in the Springfield Library Center on S. Campbelll at 6:30
we are called  THE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. would like to meet you ....you will get lots of encouragement and love for sure.

 I am afraid you just have to keep trying them and find what works for you. You will find it. I tend to be a creature of habit and stick with the same thing but experimenting is fun. Just keep trying them.
