Protein powder suggestions?

[tmckay2]

get the 7 serving size combat powder from muscle pharm so you can try a few out.

I like this stuff. It's a good value.

I need to keep my protein intake up to 45+ grams/day

There's not a person on earth over the age of 4 that doesn't need a hell of a lot more than 45g/day of protein.

If you have gastric bypass surgery your stomach is quite a bit smaller than that of a 4 year old.

Of course. But your organs, tissue, and cells don't get smaller. Even on bed rest, your body is utilizing more energy (kc) than would be even with 45g.

45g is what I eat before lunch... Holy shit.

Your body runs on protein..

Just going by what my surgeon told me and what we were told in our pre-surgery classes.

As others have stated, Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey is gold. I have been using it for a long time. I recently bought a tub of Arnold's Iron Whey from SAMs to change it up and keep a backup to the ON. At $42 for 5lbs it's a pretty good bargain. Especially being made by Muscle Pharm. BodyBuilding.com is the only place I go to buy supplements. I won't set foot in GNC again.

I used Optimum for years, but you really don't save that much by going to BB.com. There's a store called Supplement Giant here in town that sells at the same or lower prices than BB.com, without adding shipping charges and a week long wait. I know of two locations on 2nd & Wads, with another on 88th and Sheridan. The people in there actually lift and are helpful, and you don't pay 20% over MSRP or get useless add-ons pushed on you like at GNC.

I use Muscle Pharm Combat by way of convenience nowadays, but Isopure has gotten nothing but solid reviews by every single person I've seen. More relevant is that a former co-worker of mine who had digestive issues said it was the only protein supp he could use without being in pain or super gassy. It's super tolerable and refined.

I'm going to have to check out supplement giant, I've driven by before but never been inside. Right across from my wife's work, so that could be convenient.
