I would go to Wal-Mart and get a 4 pack before you buy a case. I have had it and it is OK a little bitter but better than any of the powders.

For me, the muscle milk left a powdery taste in my mouth (the ready to drink) and it made my breath yucky but some people on here love it. My grocery store sells them in single servings as does my CVS. Maybe you can buy one or two and check them out?

I've tried muscle milk lite chocolate and it was fine. Do you have a costco? They carry premier Ready to Drink chocolate and vanilla (new) 160 cal 30 g Protein. I have no connection to either company. Yesterday at Costco they were giving out samples because of the new flavor. Go try a sample and decide whether you like them. I keep a case on hand for the days after fills when you are on liquids; and for busy mornings for Breakfast.< /p>

I have had Muscle Milk Lite. I've tried both the chocolate and the vanilla...I prefer the chocolate. They do taste good, actually better than the others that you mentioned, more rich and creamy. Another good shake that I have been drinking, upon suggestion of a fellow bandster, is Premier Nutrition Protein shakes. They sell them at costco, a case is about $24, also come in chocolate and vanilla, they have an amazing 30g of protein!, 1 gram of sugar, and only 160 cals each. I personally love these even more than the Muscle Milk Lite. Well, good luck and hope you find the right Protein Shake for you.

I use EAS chocolate powder from Sam's Club and mix it with unsweetened almond milk. I tried the Muscle Milk and almost gagged. I ended up throwing it out because I couldn't even give it away.

I've never had the vanilla but have two cases of chocolate in my car right now. It's okay as a snack (100 calories), keep it cold and shake it well.

The best flavor I've found is Strawberries and Creme - but I get that as a powder and I mix it myself. The ready mixed ones are great to keep for a quick treat on the go and they taste pretty good too.

I'll be honest. I hated Muscle Milk. Took one sip and spit it out. But everyone has their own taste so I say give it a try.

You might want to go to a GNC or Vitamin Shoppe or similar store to check out their refrigurated section. This way you could buy one bottle to see if you like something rather than a 4 pack. Also occationally I've seen single bottles for sale at some grocery or quicki marts.

      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.
