chrissylu 153 Posted April 18, 2012 Have you tried EAS pure Protein chocolate? I like that and the Curves Protein Shakes. Those are both whey protein powders. Maybe soy would be better with your system? I haven't tried those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brlgirl 112 Posted April 18, 2012 To be honest...i too think they are gross, but I've been drinking them. My mom suggested using a blender with ice cubes and my dr. said that it's ok to add some fruit or sugar free pudding to alter the taste. Have you tried that? I don't know if it's "legal" but I have also taken a big sip, swallowed, then took a drink of diet coke. That helped get it down the first few days. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrissylu 153 Posted April 18, 2012 I must say that I do not drink mine mixed with Water. I mix my powder with a cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I usually add a teaspoon of Splenda and about a 1/4 cup of instant coffee (1 teaspoon of powder to 1/4c. of water). I either pour it over ice or crush ice with it.

pintail233 1 Posted April 18, 2012 Well these drinks are already pre made,I bring them to work. Even thought I'm suppose be on liquids I have done my Water a hard boiled egg,I think I might be cheating,but the egg is holding me for up to 4 hrs. For lunch I had two hard boiled eggs and water,but I feel like I'm not following the pgrm completely. Tomorow starts soft foods,so hopefully I'll be able to make up the Protein in another way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TKW 501 Posted April 18, 2012 I couldn't gag them down. I used Carnation instant Breakfast mixed with milk for 2 weeks after surgery. Haven't touched a protien shake since. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hopingtobebandedsoon 89 Posted April 18, 2012 Dont know if anyone has tried ,but Isopure is a protien drink not in the shake form..not bad at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoreThanJustaPrettyFace 55 Posted April 18, 2012 Syntrax Nectar brand Protein Powder. They have a ton of fruity flavors, and a "natural" line that uses Stevia instead of splenda. They mix with Water and taste amazing. Natural orange is my favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoreThanJustaPrettyFace 55 Posted April 18, 2012 Search online and you can find awesome deals. The manufacturer sells it for 60 and I bought mine for 30. I've never seen them in a store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

adorkbl 156 Posted April 18, 2012 My absolute favorite Protein powder is BSN Lean Dessert Whipped vanilla Creme. It is VERY good!! Not chalky AT ALL. I mix mine with soy milk in a blender cup. My second favorite is Vanilla Premier Protein ready to drink. I like that I can grab it and go when I am in a rush in the morning. Protein Powder: BSN Lean Dessert Flavor: Whipped Vanilla Creme I buy it at: vitacost.com Ready Drink Protein: Premier Protein Flavor: Vanilla or chocolate [i prefer Vanilla] I buy it at: costco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've tried powder,liquid shots,and Muscle Mike,all don't do well with me. Please help me with suggestions espy during the pouch test and after band adjt...HELP After trying so many Protein shakes and hating them all I finally found one that I think you will love. I am actually addicted to them. They are made by HealthSmart and they are called ChocoRite Protein Shakes. They have various flavors but my favs are Peanut Butter, strawberry, banana, cappacinno and chocolate. Here is a webste where I buy mine from http://www.netrition.com It says mix 2 scoops with Water for 150 calories and 24 grams of Protein but I didn't like the Water base so my doctor said I could use skim or 1% milk and omg that made them so good. He said all the milk does is boost your protein and calories just a little. Try them, I think you will be satisfied with them. Good luck!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
