Why do you need protein samples. You get the protein from the foods you will be eating. You need to understand that for the first few months your food intake will be in the teaspoons and tablespoons. It would be good for you to visit your dietican as she will direct you on the proper foods

Hi Ivelisse: You can get samples of many different protein powders from www.vitalady.com. I also swear by the Revival Soy products (www.revivalsoy.com) which offers a free trial period of their products. Best of luck to you!

I just want to say, don't go overboard with your protein sources that you buy. I have a lot left that I am trying to use, but I really don't like the taste. I've probably got over $100 worth left. I hope eventually that I can use it, but my stomach turns when I think of it. Muscle Milk from GNC is great. I have some isopure that needs some doctoring up. don't know how to make it taste better. I have some protica, I don't like it, but it is only 3 1/2 oz and has 25 gms in it, so I can force myself to do it. If you cook dried beans, lentils, they have lots of protein and are easy to eat. Turkey chili has lots of protein. If you use skim milk in your protein drink, it will add 8 gm for a cup.

www.bariatricseating.com. They have a sample pack with a shaker for about $25. Very good way to start w/o spending much money. In the beginning, I was on liquids and the protein powders were the ONLY way I got my protein. Check with your surgeon to see what his/her food plan is for you to see if you will want them.

I have always had good luck with Unjury protein powder even newly post-op! They have sample packs you can order to give it a try...just remember your tastes might change after surgery - mine did - Everything was really sweet - I used the unflavored to add to what little food I could eat as well as to my beverages so I got enough protein to heal properly! Their website is www.unjury.com. Good Luck on your upcoming surgery! Blessings, Monica

I use the best tasting nutritional shake out here... If you are interested, I can show you how to but it at wholesale just like me. I have had great success, I did lose control after weight loss sugery, gained quite a bit of weight back...Fell off the face of the earth and now have invested my time into others to become the person I desired to be... My Nutrition Advisor gave me a plan to follow...At that time in my life, I had taken so many protein shakes to only throw them up... I could not find that special one that fit me. I was always consuming to much protein for my body per hour of what would stay down and that would lead to gas...My body fat% started to raise...I was getting out of control.. I took someone and let them guide me to my new life! Now at a time in my life, I am justthe healthest I have ever been and now I am a figure competitior! I have learned balance and how to juggle to remain teachable everyday! If I can give you any shake recipes or suggestions, please email me... If not keep your focus on what ever program you are on... Believe in yourself and you must find your "WHY" In hopes that you will find your "WHY".. MAny blessings Celeste went from 327 to 127 I love my lean mind now!
