HELP Having trouble finding good protien
Tonya
I really like the Atkins shakes.........and MY NUT and DR recommended them too !!
Also - I like the GNC 100% protein whey - they have a Caramel / Chocolate flavor. I mix it in with my skim milk...sometimes add cherry flavoring w/ice cubes and have a shake that way too.
I like their vanilla too................I usually add a tbsl or so of the chocolate banana smoothie mix (comes in pkgs at walmart - usually in the produce area)
Takes some of the protein taste out of the whey protein too me.
GOOD LUCK !!
- Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.

I have tried many a kinds of protein pownders and have found most of them nasty. Either they stunk, bad taste or bad texture. I finally found ones I liked. I'm not into the chocolate flavor protein liquids I like the fruity kind. I mix it with V8 Diet tropical juice with ice or frozen fruit, I sometimes add a splenda if the fruits not sweet enough. Kinda of reminds me of a peni coloda drink, yummy.

I order the Matrix powder protein from BA and they aren't too bad. I found some SF Hershey syrup and mix that with ice and powder in a bullet and it is so good.
I have trouble getting enough protein in each day since I can't eat but 1 oz of meat per sitting. I find the tuna has more protein than other meat and isn't as hard to get down.
Good Luck,

I also like the Body Fortress from Walmart - it's in the "diet foods" section, usually in the Pharmacy area or you can get it at Target too. I get this one when I'm too lazy to order from Unjury.
I make a shake with a scoop of powder, 6-8oz of milk or cold water, 1/2 a frozen banana broken into pieces, 1 splenda and about 1/2 - 3/4 Cup of crushed ice. Blend until smooth and it's like a Wendy's frosty!!

TONYA-I've tried a WHOLE bunch of proteins over the years...Unjury reamins my all time fave. I am not a "chocolate lover", but I DO love THEIR chocolate-esp mixed with coffee or in pudding. The vanilla is good..the strawberry I can take or leave...The unflavored is great for mixing in soup, otmeal, etc...and the chicken soup is great for a "change of pace" kind of thing. The downside is that you can only get it online, but they are GREAT to work with--really fast--and the shipping is amazingly cheap. I have ordered from them for years, and always been happy with the outcome. No-I don't work for them-but they SHOULD pay me, as much advertising as I do for them..lol
