I get Muscle Milk at costco too. They have the Muscle Milk light in premaid ready to take box drinks. I tried the Whey Protien in vanilla and it was Not cool, bad after taste. Body Fortress from Walmart is good. Mind you, I make them with skim milk or plain yogurt sometimes a little Peanut Butter or banana if I need a bit more to stay full and I don't feel like a solid food meal. Its yummy.

Unjury makes several awesome products. They have a Soup, a strawberry, and some cheese sauce that are all whey Protein. I like their chocolae and vanilla but unjury products are expensive. I buy my chocolate and vanilla at target. They're half the price. I don't like muscle milk. I'm actually tired of all the shakes but I've learned how to dress them up to make them taste great. Or at least palatable.

I was told by my diet girl to get soy or whey Protein isolate, not concentrate. I found soy isolate at SAMS. This stuff tastes really bad to me. Next time I was at the hospital, I asked if all these protein supplement’s tasted this bad. She said try the whey isolate. They actually sell this on line, called Bariatric Essentials. Got the chocolate version. This stuff is good. Taste like a thick milkshake, Downside, kind of expensive at $60 a bag (35 serving size).

      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.
