PROTEIN??????

I have been reading everyone's posting and it seems that everyone is able to get their protein in. How??? My Dr doesn't want me drinking protein drinks but I can use protein powder. Any suggestions on a good protein powder? Also I am on full liquid until week 6. I think I am going to go crazy I still have 3 weeks to go. Like most of us I am having problems with BM. MOM makes me sick but it works. Thanks for your help! Down 25lbs!

I like Joe Robb's powder, got it at Whole Foods and think its also at Vitamin Shoppe and GNC. At WF they had single portions to try it out. Its 25g per serving, add milk or soy milk and youre at 32g per drink. I like the choc but also enjoyed strawberry and vanilla with some SF flavoring in it, Starbucks sells their SF flavorings. Good luck.

Hi Kathy...Ive been having trouble getting enough protein in too. Someone on this site had suggested to me that Nectar (fuzzy peach) was the best protein drink they had ever tasted so I sent off for a tub . I havent recieved it yet but it should be here any day. I didnt know where to get it because GNC didnt keep it. I finally typed Nectar protein drink into my brouser and Bingo!! I will let ya know hun. !

I would suggest that you order many samples to see what appeals to you. I can love a particular flavor and brand, but you could very well hate it (and vise versa) due to differences in taste and preference. A great place to order samples is: http://bethsproteinboutique.com/catalog/ Beth is awesome! She got my order out to me super-fast and she is a very nice lady. I ordered lots of samples from her and have found that my favorites thus far are flavors from "Whey Gourmet". They are sooooo good (IMHO!). I have tried many other brands and flavors and have kept a record of my opinions so I remember which ones I will reorder...and which ones I will try my hardest to forget. I couldn't get all my protein in without supplementing at least 2 shakes a day. I count them as part of my fluid intake too, so for me it's a win-win situation. Another product I use is Profect. www.profect.com These are great to keep in your purse (in my case, diaper bag!) as they come in a plastic tube and are only 3 ounces. Good luck! Chele

Hi Chele, I ordered Porfect and am waiting for it to arrive anyday. I am really hoping I like the taste. 25 grams in 3oz, I think for that I could learn to gag it down. My purse is also a diaper bag. Aren't we chic? God Bless! Jen

My nut said that her patients who drink this like it ice cold. I guess it tastes better that way I have never tried it, but thought I would pass the tip along.

My favorite protein is Any Whey from Optimum Nutrition. It is completely tasteless and you can even cook with it!!
