Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 I found two that work well for me, but i am not picky in the least bit. One at walmart of all places. EAS Chocolate and then I bought the " Bucket 'o Protein " at GNC. It was American Whey. It is only 20 gms per half scoop, but not bad. I mix it with skim milk. I am not having any problems with milk. I tried the IsoPure drink.. ohhh man i could not take that. I dont like sweet things, crystal lite, etc. I just cant get it down, too sweet. Good luck finding something that makes you feel good. I am going to look for the powder isopure. I love the idea of 50grms per serving. That would be better than having to drink 2 - 3 a day like i am now.. ugggg..

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 A trick I found that works with the protein shakes. I make them and I freeze them. Then I scrape the frozen shake with a spoon. It's so hot in CA that this makes me feel like I'm having icecream, or kind of a slushy as it melts. Hey, whatever works, right? > > > In a message dated 8/18/2003 12:27:49 AM Eastern Daylight Time, > > > funmomof2@a... writes: > > > > > > > personally can not wait to hear > > > > your interpretation of the first few days.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 , Great idea!! I will have to try that! What part of CA? I was born in Orange and lived for a while in Garden Grove. I have a friend who lives in Mill Valley north of San Fran. She is dying for me to come and visit. She goes to some kind of hands on healing/therapy and the woman said she is just dying to get her hands on a gastric bypass patient...lol Sounds like it might be fun..lol Lori - MI Open RnY 8/1/03 > > > > In a message dated 8/18/2003 12:27:49 AM Eastern Daylight > Time, > > > > funmomof2@a... writes: > > > > > > > > > personally can not wait to hear > > > > > your interpretation of the first few days.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 I use 100% Whey Protein from GNC has 20g per serving (but that is all we can absorb at one time) it is great! The isopure to me does not taste all that good. But we are all different in our tastes. So even tho ispure says 50g you are not getting it...only 20g of it is absorbed. Pamela 11/19/02 125 lbs gone!!

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 Hi, I make the Isopure,but I do not take the whole thing in one sitting. It takes me a good part of the morning, a couple of ounces at a time. I am sure I can absorb all the protein at that slow rate. If not, please let me know. I don't really like the taste of the IsoPure Chocolate, either. I'm mad it doesnt come in smaller containers! But if I can get 50 gms of protein in 12 oz rather than 24 or more, I would rather do that, slow but sure wins the race!

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2003 Report Share Posted August 19, 2003 mary, i've heard of mixing the flavorless prot into crystal light etc. try contacting the manufacturer to ask about heating their product. maybe there's a 1-800 # or website on the side of the package. let us know. & way to go on the w l!!!! lori h. > I was wondering if anyone has tried mixing the protein powder in food?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 LORI, Could you pass the name to me so I can check it out? Thanks, R. Re: Protein Shakes I found a protein at GNC that claims to be virtually tasteless. It also comes with recipes as this product can be mixed in cooking. I have not tried it yet. I mixed it with my apple sauce and I didnt like the look of it..lol presentation is everything.lol. They do have free samples if you want to try it first.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 HI! I'm fairly new to this group, and have been lurking. I have had my initial appt. with the bariatric coordinator and have my appt. with the nutritionist and surgeon on Sept. 2nd. Anyway, I have been doing low carb for a while and have several recipes that use protien powders in them that I think would be appropriate for after WLS since they are high in protien, low in carbs, no sugar, and fairly low in calories. I would be happy to share some of them if you are interested.
