I hate Protein Shakes. I haven't tried a single one that didn't make me gag. UNTIL tonight!! Stopped at 7-11 to grab Water & noticed they had muscle milk. I was starving because I'd been out for a long time unexpectedly so I was happy to see it, but they only had light in one flavor - vanilla Latte. Omg. So delish! Tastes like a Starbucks Chai Latte. It was realllly good! Only possible drawback for some is it is caffeinated. I'm thrilled about it personally, but I know a lot of sleevers avoid caffeine. If you don't mind that, TRY IT!! Yum!

Just got a box yesterday in chocolate. I used optimum nutrition ( which is a powder ) before ..great source of Protein. But as for a pr-mixed protein muscle milk is one of the best tasting in my opinion. Its also comes in a powder

Of all the RTD's (Ready To Drink) out there, Muscle Milk light in Vanilla Latte is def my favorite, especially if I can shake it up really good or even blender it, so it gets all whippy, with some ice cubes so it is super duper cold - yumm!! And SO filling, I don't know what special thing they do to it but it fills me up and stays for a very long time, longer than any other shake. Win-win!

I have tried two other Muscle Milks and hated them, granted they were not the lights. I will try this one but if that one sucks not doing anymore - LOL!

I hope I like it because it is important to have one you do like that you can grab on the go!

I swear I have HATED all Protein Drinks but I got this again today to see if it was just a fluke & nope! Still delish! If you like a chai latte you'll like it! It's not thick it's kind of the consistency of Water. Try it!! Also, it's a ready-to-drink, not a powder.

Yeah all other RTDs are just disgusting, bleachh! But this one, I swear, if you are a visual eater, just take this and pop it into one of those reusable Starbucks cups that looks like the kind they serve iced drinks in and you won't know the difference! Especially if you tap a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg on it with a squirt of SF whip! =)

I went through a phase where MM was my favorite but now I can't stand it. It goes in cycles if you drink the shakes long enough! Nowadays I mix my unflavored, vanilla or chocolate powder with tea or coffee every morning - sometimes over ice and sometimes not. Sometimes I used flavored coffee or a spiced tea, and sometimes I jazz it up with a little flavored Syrup, too. It's the easiest way by far to get my Protein in each day and I've been drinking at least one shake a day for 20 months.

Anyway, if you get tired of paying for RTD or if you get ready to try powders again in the future it's an option! I use Integrated supplements (they have my favorite unflavored out of more than half a dozen I've tried) but I'm sure there's a brand out there you can tolerate. For now, enjoy that fact that you've found a shake you actually like!

Yep, this just goes for RTD's, overall my favorite is a Protein Powder called Tera's whey, an organic dark cocoa. I mix that with a little Click - the espresso Protein powder, some almond or hemp milk, and a spash of SF Torani Syrup. Put it all in my Starbucks to-go cup and noone would ever know the difference!

      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.
