New Proteins woooo hoooo
For the last two and a half years i have been drinking the same protein over and over. I got tired of it and have to admit i've been slacking the last few weeks. So i decided to try something else. After going to the message board at bariatriceating i noticed they had great reviews on the new Matrix 5.0 cookies and cream. Well two years ago i tried the matrix 5.0 chocolate and like it pretty much, but my weight seemed to stall when i used it and started back up when i stopped. Could be coincidence, right? So i ordered the cookies and cream (from a much cheaper place) and at first i thought it was too sweet.....but after adding more milk to it, it tastes awesome!!! You would never guess it's protein, not a hint of smell or flavor .
So today i started thinking that i should add a few other to it so i don't get tired of just one. I went back to bariatriceating and seen they have another new one they are comparing to matrix call gourmet whey and comes in lots of flavors. They have a cappuccino, chocolate chip mint, carmel, peanut butter chocolate, blueberry (wondering if this is blue raspberry) and lots of others. She doesn't have them all on her website but i googled it and found it ten bucks cheaper. none of these come in samples, so i have to figure out a couple that i'm going to like.
Anyway, just giving you guys a heads up, protein is getting better!

Hi Crystal
Every time i buy protein i google search it and find the cheapest....there are always sales. The cookies and cream i found at smartbodynutrition.com for 25.99 for five pounds and the pvl whey gourmet (2 pounds) i found at A1nutritionproducts.com . But google them and you'll see what i mean.

Wow thanks...I am just trying too look .....Do things really taste too sweet to you now? I have heard that from alot of people....I found some protein at allthewhey.com and they are cheap...but I am scared to buy online...you really never know what you are getting if you never have bought from them before.....HELPPPPPPP...lol
Crystal i haven't had any problems ordering protein online, just make sure to check the rates for shipping, some places are high.
Yeah i find a lot of thing too sweet , i crave sour or spicy more than sweet. Right after surgery i couldn't even take my lortab cause it was too sweet tasting and smelling. I had three huge bottles of the stuff and threw it away, wish i had some now! LOL
I never really got creative with my protein, i always stuck with my chocolate mint since it was the only one i liked two years ago. After tasting the cookies and cream i wish i would kept trying others to have some change once in a while. I drink two shakes a day, and i mix them with milk for the added protein.
Well thank you...I will be in Ypsilanti on Mon 19th for Pre-op Testing....and then on April 4th for surgery....I am excited...Alot of people have told me to bring a personal fan and my own pillow...Is there anything that you can think of that I may want to bring..I know chap stick..I really would like your input on this,..
...Thank you
...Thank you Your day will be here before you know it. I took my robe, slippers, chap stick, extra undies. I didn't take my fan or pillow but wished i had. Hospital pillows suck and i needed the fan and had my hubby bring mine later. Also bring some pads and tooth brush and soap and shampoo....Harper gave me soap but that was it.....oh and a hair brush LOL , they gave me a comb.

Hey Linda,
I just recently tried the cookies and cream - they sell it at Barix. And I was surprised how much I like it. I make it w/ skim milk and put my flax oil in there and it's great. That is a good price - not sure what they charge at Barix for it. I've been doing 4 protein shakes a day - it really helps control how much food I consume.
Take care,
Carey
