Do You Hate Protein Powder/liquids?

It can taste different depending on what you drink it out of...if I drink it out of the carton, its gross. If I put it in a small cup, and make sure its real cold, its OK.

Also try powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury non flavored Protein. No sweeteners in it.

Check also standard process, inc Protein powder. No artificials either!

I find the Premiere RTDs "just OK". Kind of like how Ron Perlman might be "just OK" if he & I were the last two on Earth. So really it's a lot less than "OK" but I can force myself into it being tolerable if there's absolutely nothing else available, just barely. Plus they leave little chocolate flakes on my lips if I don't use a straw (they dry into a sort of skin, blech). The first sip seems OK, and then it goes downhill from there.

I used to love my Protein drinks pre-op, and with previous WLS. Can't stand them now. It's the thickness. They sit so heavy/uncomfortable in my sleeve.

I'm currently doing the Isopure fruity RTDs. I've tasted 3 of them now and "grape frost" is the only one (truly) that didn't turn my stomach. Seriously I tried "apple melon" lastnight and thought I just might hurl. I actually heard/felt my stomach lurch. I know when I read "Eww it almost made me throw up" I think I'm reading the words of a drama queen, but this truly did almost make me throw up and I have a cast Iron stomach... err... sleeve. I put them (grape frost) in the freezer for a while before I drink them so they're as cold as I can get them without being frozen. I drink themabout 5oz at a time (10g protein), which I pour into a cup and I add a small squirt of grape mio (it's not actually Mio brand, it's the generic Walmart stuff). To me, it ends up tasting exactly like grape koolaid that inexplicably leaves my mouth feeling a little dry.

Flavorwise I like the strawberry EAS Carb AdvantEdge RTDs. They have to very cold or they get nasty. This seems to keep them thinner, too. But in terms of Protein gms/oz they aren't great. That was the allure of the Premieres. 30gm in the same oz as EAS's 17gm. But if I can only drink half of it, it's a wash. The Isopures have 20gm/10oz <-- winner!
