I get the Isopure, dutch chocolate is the best tasting i think 1 serving (2 scoops) is 50 g of protien ( i use 1 scoop 25 g) so it makes it super easy to get in all the protien. All the flavors are Zero carb except the dutch chocolate wich is 1.5 carbs per scoop.

We use the AMP Amplified Wheybolic in the black and red tubes from GNC! We have had chocolate, vanilla, banana Cream and Cookies and Cream and we like them all! As for "mixing it" there is a list in the recipes section that is a HUGE list of different ways and there are some SUPER yummy ones in there!!

My fav. right now is chocolate Peanut Butter! I use two scoops of Chocolate powder, 1 C Milk, 2T PB and about 6 ice cubes and mix it in the blender!!

I am going this weekend to get my Protein shake mix from GNC and wanted input on what others liked from GNC and if you got creative with your shakes.

GNC is the place to go, keep the receipt!! I started 3 months ahead of time determined to find something I'd like....to no avail. I tried the whey, egg white powder, flavored and unflavored. Keep in mind, unflavored just means it is NOT strawberry, chocolate or vanilla....it still has a taste to it!!! Ugh!!! I finally gave up and after getting a "goodie bag" from Forest Park Medical Center when I was discharged after surgery...I discovered the Protein bullet. 42 grams of protein packed into 3.5 oz. Not the tastiest thing in the world, but it isn't horrible either. I liked the blue raspberry the best and didn't mix it with anything. A few sips in the morning, a couple at noon and the rest later in the day and I was through. None of the trying to get down a big Protein Shake for two hours!!! The protein bullet is also from GNC and comes in all different flavors, the grape is over powering, the blue raspberry was the best in my opinion. I did it for two months, one a day and between it and food, i was getting 65 - 80 grams of protein per day. Towards the end of the two months when I was eating more, I didn't even have to drink an entire bullet! Good luck!!

      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.
