Try Muscle Milk light. it doesn't have that Protein taste.

As far as the runs,,, well it's Water in, and water out. you can't change that, unless you thicken it up.

Try another brand. There is one brand that reacts like that with me. I use 100% whey from costco (made by Muscle Milk) and Jay Robb brands. Neither of them sends me running to the bathroom.

Vitamin Shoppe and Whole Foods both sell several of the Jay Robb varieties in single serve packs, so you can try one before committing.

Good luck.

try something without dairy. some people may not be sensitive to milk products while on their regular diet but when the diet is altered it can cause you to be more sensitive to it . i experience this myself and i have opted to blend my Protein Powder with almond milk or soy milk

i found that powdered Protein mix that you mix with milk causes a bit of gas and blocks me up a little. however i found that if i drink "Boost" Protein Drink it doesnt cause probs. it comes in little bottles , near the diabetic supplies. it comes in strawberry, choc and vanilla and its very good. keep in mind some people (like me)get diareaha and stomach prob when you have anytjing sugar free because its made with fake sugars that can cause your probs. make sure you read the labels closely on "sugar free" items. good luck !!

Ebay has Muscle Coupons save $6.00 limit 2 on RTD, at Costco's

Just type in Muscle Milk, and keep scrolling down, you might have to go threw a page or 2.

It's at $1.95 Free Shipping.

For you people who get it at Costco's this is a buy.

If interested.

      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.
