I began researching proteins for the RNY patient long before I had my surgery. I learned the best kind of protein for us is Whey Protein and that there are basically 3 forms of Whey Protein: Isolate, Concentrate, and Blended (a combination of the first 2). So, once I knew this, I went in search of a reasonably priced option ? because protein supplements can get expensive really fast. I was examining the products sold at Vitalady.com because these are people who have had bariatric surgeries and who would take the time to answer my many questions. I landed on the Champion Pure Whey Stack as something to try out and Vitalady.com actually sells the different flavors in individual serving sizes! Soooo, I purchased a sackful and set out to try them on for flavor. I learned there are 5 flavors I particularly like: Chocolate, Vanilla, Banana Scream, Cookies and Cream, and Chocolate/Peanut Butter. I also learned: they shake up into a thick creamy mixture without grit at my desk in about 4 ounces of really cold water ? which I figure will be just about right when I am post-op. I add one pack of Nutra Sweet at this point (I am still pre-op right now) because I like things really sweet. YUM!! Then, when I placed my first order, because it was more than $300 (I ordered 25 pounds of protein powder ? enough to last 4 months, as well as the vitamins I knew I would need) I got free shipping! I don?t think we can get a much better price than $1.61/day for more than 60 grams of bioavailabile protein. I?m hooked!
(indicates that they have used the product)I have used the Pure Whey Stacks from Champion Nutrition for 2 years now. It says a lot that I have used the same product for so long. With other products I found myself getting tired of the taste or consistency. Not so with Champion's products. The Pure Whey Stacks mix easily with water (and juices for a little variety) and are smooth to drink.
As a competive cyclist and bariatric patient, finding something like Champion Nutrition's Pure Whey Stacks was the perfect solution to my nutritional needs.
