4ALongerLife 329 Posted August 18, 2012 I am LOVING the Wylers brand sugar free sleeves but my fav kind is "cherry limeade." Of all places, I found it at Family Dollar as I went on a wild goose chase for those crystal light mocktini's that I read on another thread. They didn't have them there, but thank God I tried this kind - and I LOVE IT. I'm up to 14 glasses of Water most days (and I hate Water in all honesty). Hang in there girl - it gets easier in time. It's very frustrating in the beginning. And most Protein powders, to me, taste like a monkey's butt. Sorry... I know you have to have them in the beginning, but.... I did like the power pak pudidngs at GNC/Vitamin Shoppe, but in chocolate. Vit Shoppe has a refrig section where you can try before you buy and save your receipts and you can bring back w/in so many days (even opened containers).

I'm not liking the milk Protein right now and the Isopure is nasty, it makes my mouth dry. I'm thinking of the shots. I can't remember what my nutritionist said about the shots...but either way its got to be better than no protein at all until i start mushies next week!

4ALongerLife 329 Posted August 18, 2012 For me, the shots made me literally WRETCH, as did Isopuke (sorry to those that like it). Try Cytosport's whey isolate RTD drinks that they sell at Vitamin shoppe... I loved Tangerine and Tropical. They have them in the refrig section too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allnewme 262 Posted August 18, 2012 I REALLY hate most Protein drinks. I just spent $2.99 on Oh, Yeah drink. I could barely choke down half of it. Either people get paid to write reviews about these drinks or my tastes are WAY off. I had my daughter and hubby taste it and they agreed it is the worst one yet for having the nasty aftertaste. I have better luck buying Hood Carb Countdown dairy drink and mixing the unjury unflavored in it. If you have not ordered Unjury, it is very good. I have only tried unflavored and the chicken Soup but they are drinkable without the artificial sweet nasty aftertaste. I get mushy foods next week and I am so thankful for the chance to have some different tastes to look forward to! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacey Nicole 40 Posted August 18, 2012 I hated every Protein Drink I tried! Nutmeg state nutrition sells gels that mix with Water and taste like juices. They have 15mg of Protein each and they saved me! They're nothing like a shake or milk so I loved them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
symorrah 3 Posted August 18, 2012 I felt the same way about Protein Shakes until my nut said i could use fat free yogurt n as long as the calorie count was low it was ok. So i got the whey Protein Powder n axelrod fat free yogurt with a lil Water n ive been mixing it up every since. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bug 10 Posted August 19, 2012 I am 13 days Post Op, I have been drinking Premier chocolate 11 oz 30 grams Protein. This seems to be pretty easy for me to get 80 g a day. My solution to the scale was to TRASH IT and wait for the Docs weigh ins. Stay positive it will work!!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
