I HATE supplemental Protein, I think it tastes disgusting. I know no protein is going to be tasteless but I am looking for close to it. Anyone have a protein supplement that they swear by that you can barely taste?

Depends on what you have already tried. I have a Protein drink every morning for Breakfast. I use chocolate Muscle Milk. I mix the powder with half Water, half soy milk (I'm lactose intolerant). I love it! Every now and again I make a shake with my Muscle Milk using soy milk and sf pudding. Initially I used the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand that I had to order through the mail. It's good too and they have one that's flavorless, but I didn't try that one. Unjury is a good brand but more expensive than Muscle Milk that I buy at costco.

Good luck in your search. It is just awful when you have to eat something regularly that taste bad.

I very much like (really--I like them!) the Inspire Proteins from Bariatric Eating. The Dutch chocolate flavor is really good if mixed with almond milk.

Their PURE unflavored Protein is also very good.

I got the ready-made EAS shakes that have 25g of Protein and 210 cal. in them, and they are so gross. I've been looking for something I can put in plain Water (b/c I don't like flavored water like the Special K protein water things) that will mix up good and doesn't have a taste or isn't gritty. Anyone know of a good one?

I love the body fortress whey Protein muscle milk. It tastes great like choc milk. I mix 1 scoop with 4-6 oz skim milk , crushed ice and just shake it in the cup they sell. Its cheap at Walmart 12dollars for 2lbs. Its only 130cal and if you use skim milk its 200 calories,gotta add those calories. It can be mixed with Water as well. It has 26 grams of protein per scoop.You can add stuff to make it a shake i just have it plain. i dont find a gritty feel or after taste like the other types. Good Luck

Hi there. Just curious, when you are using the isopure are you using the scoop provided? I have the same and I have not been able to stomach it, but I just can't throw the $55 I paid for it down the drain.

What are you mixing it in to get your Protein, and, how many grams of Protein are you getting? Thanks in advance.

I am using Isopure Protein powders, which you can buy online or at GNC stores. The unflavored is great because it can be mixed into absolutely everything! I also have the vanilla and chocolate flavors. I have enjoyed Isopure powders the most because each scoop has 25g protein, 0 carbs, and hardly any calories.

You can also buy Isopure at Vitamin Shoppe stores. The Jillian Michaels brand(Walmart $10) is okay - if you add a packet of Nutrasweet - it cuts that cloying stevia :unsure: taste.

Bariatric Eating does sell a Protein sampler--it's a great way to try a handful of different Proteins to see what you like.

I used the unflavored Isopure in Soups, sprinkled on chili, etc. BUT I also use non-fat dry milk powder - the same Protein overall, and easier to drink/take in almost anything, sauces, added to skim milk, anything. 1T =5g and it's cheaper than the other whey.

I have been using the unflavored GNC brand and it works for me in hot food or Soups.< /p>

i just got my orders of Protein in the mail today. i ordered the sample packets from Bariatric Eating that betsy mentioned and i also ordered some sample packets from Unjury that someone else on this site had mentioned. so far, i've tried the chicken Soup one from unjury. it was really good. :frown: you mix it with 8oz warm Water and it tastes like chicken broth. it even has the little green things in it. kinda salty but i added a little pepper and it was fine. it mixes well, too. it has 21g of protein in it. i am about to try the inspire dutch chocolate from bariatric eating and i'll let you know how that tastes.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
