I'm sure everyone will have their own opinion so here's mine ..... Muscle milk is disgusting but if that's what you like, go for it. I use Body Fortress with a glass of skim milk, 2 scoops in the milk and you have your daily minimum of 60 grams of Protein. Put it in the blender and add ice and crush it and it adds more of a milkshake texture. Body Fortress also cost much less than most of the others (about $15 at Wal Mart). Good Luck

I use Muscle Milk Lite, vanilla.< /p>

I mix it in a blender, with either Water or milk, and add some frozen berries or fruit from costco. makes a good smoothie, that I have for Breakfast everyday.

You can research your own recipes, bananas, Peanut Butter, all sorts of things you can do.

The Muscle Milk is only the base for the Protein.< /p>

EAS Myoplex from BJ's for powder. 30 bucks for 5lbs, dissolves very easily in Water, and tastes a lot less like whey than most. I tried about 6 different vanillas before I just said screw it and bought it as a last ditch attempt. chocolate is good too. As said above, those are bases and feel free to mix other stuff to them. I don't like strawberry or other flavored powders as I'd just put some frozen strawberries in myself.

For premade, muscle milk light is good since its at almost any convenience store now a days and doesn't taste that bad. As with most premades, it's thicker than powder. Personal opinion, steer clear of Cookies and cream!!! Awful!!!

I use a variety Protein supplements daily. When first get out of bed I mix 1 scoop of EAS 100% whey protein vanilla with some Crystal Light fruit punch or grape flavor and Water. After I work out i down a Body Fortress Super Protein Shot. Mid day I will have an Atkins Advantage vanilla shake. and before I go to bed i make and drink a nectar Protein Drink ( http://www.mybariatricpantry.com/SYNTRAX_NECTAR_PROTEIN_POWDER_SAMPLES_p/nectar-sample.htm ).

Premier Protein, purchased at costco by the case. Pre-made, chocolate and Vanilla are pretty dang good. 11oz gives you 30g of Protein, 160 calories and only 5g carbs. and at $25.99 for 30 is not too bad.

I am not a fan of most Protein drinks/powders because they taste like crap to me... including most of the ones already mentioned in this thread...

I use Protein powders everyday nonetheless.... If you can afford it I prefer BSN Syntha 6 and BSN Lean Dessert.... They taste AWESOME!

But I'm also cheap... so normally I get different blends in bulk at proteinfactory dot com... The products are normally a fair compromise between price and taste and they mix very well... I despise clumpy or gritty protein drinks!

I know this is an old post, but I thought I would add my choice. I have discovered unjury after trying a half dozen other types. You can only get it online, but in my opinion it is the best tasting, no after-taste Protein powder out there.

I use the unflavored in juices. It adds a slight taste, but it is not even close to unpleasant.

I use the chocolate splendor and strawberry in milk (Low fat and skim). The chocolate tastes like Yoo Hoo, and the stawberry reminds me of strawberry Quik my parents used to get for us when we were kids as a treat.

The biggest thing I noticed about others compared to the Unjury was I would taste the others for hours after....sort of like you taste that hot dog you had at the ballgame hours ago.......not pleasant. The Unjury just mixes smooth, goes down easy, and I never taste it again.

One important thing I think people need to remember regarding Protein powders. They are not a miracle of any sort - they are only liquid food - nothing more - nothing less. food is best eaten in its' whole form. But sometimes - especially in the morning (unfortunately when our bodies are quite catabolic) - we have a hard time getting all of the nutrition we need through solid food - and that's where Protein powders can make up the difference.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
