I never ever ever liked to drink Protein shakes. That's until I found Muscle Milk Lite. Not the pre-made shakes. No, that powder one. It taste's great. So much so that I'm drinking it every morning w/o milk. The chocolate flavor is the only one I can speal great about. vanilla grossed me out. I really want to try Peanut Butter but I'll wait.

P.S. - Even my wife drinks it.

I agree - muscle milk light rocks. I even like the strawberry or banana one....

I really like Unjury. My favorite is vanilla, but I like them all. Well, I have not tried the chicken Soup flavor, sounds to gross to me.

I like Syntrax nectar Protein Powder the most. Vitamin Shoppe is a great place to buy Protein drinks from cause they have a no questions asked return/exchange. I bought one I didn't like and even lost the receipt and still had no problems exchanging it for a new one.

I have found that the ready-to-drink ones are better tasting than the powders. One I recently found at Target is Pure Protein, I like the Cookies and cream. Also the Unjury chicken Soup one is really good. It tastes like a cup o soup.

Unjury is the best vanilla and chocolate are great. Don't care for the strawberry but I mixed it with milk and they say you should mix it crystal light lemonaide. I had been using muscle milk chocolate but then I started reading a lot of articles on it saying it had a lot of dangerous chemicals in it so I threw it away. If you go to the Unjury web site and you get automactic delivery they will discount the price, and you can change or cancel at any time.:smile:

Passing on a tip I got from Betsy on here: I use Proti Vanilla and make it w/ unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. Much easier to take. THEN she told me to throw in a spoonful of FF,SF chocolate pudding powder. WOO HOO a chocolate shake party in your mouth. I make it in the blender w/ a little ice.

      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.
