They don't taste the same as the regular Slim Fast to me, they seem to have that Protein after taste which I find with all of the Protein drinks. They aren't bad, but nothing to get excited about either, IMHO. Personally I prefer the Atkins Protein shakes for two reasons, to me that taste a little better and they have more Fiber, a really important ingredient when doing this high Protein thing. The Fiber also helps sustain you longer, not a bad bonus.

I've never tried the slim fast drinks, but if you are looking for a Protein Shake I recommend Optifast. I recommend the chocolate flavor, it tastes just like chocolate milk. It tastes good (even better when you mix a little milk in to thin it out. It's not sold in any nutrition stores that I know of (I got it from my doctor) but if you ask you doctor he/she probably knows where to get it. If you are looking for a quick source of Protein I also recommend the Slim Fast carb option Breakfast bars. The chocolate chip tastes great like a granola bar and is 14 g of protein. Since I'm not a breakfast person I take one with me in the morning to school.

I do the SlimFast High Protein which have 15g of protein in each - I've had the strawberry & vanilla - both very good - didn't notice any "protein" flavor particularly. I also love the pb crunch snack bars which I eat in place of candy bars as they give me my pb & choc fix yet have Vitamins in it also. I also like there pb granola high protein meal bars. These are the products I use from them and like them very much.

I've bought a sample pack from Allthewhey.com and I love all except vanilla. They have 25 g of Protein in Water, non-fat and orange juice you get 35g of protein. There are no sugars, no fat and no cholesterol. I've been testing these out so I know which ones I like the best during my pre-op and post-op.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
