Guelia1279 10 Posted October 20, 2012 Hello everyone, I have finished my preop appointments and just got my approval for surgery :-D... Unfortunately I still have to wait because my surgery is not until January 2013. :-( That feels like so far away, but I am glad I found this site. I am still scared especially for when I have to do the liquid diet before surgery. I know that it's not going to be easy but I hope to find someone néw fiends here and get some helpful advice. Does anyone have any suggestions on good tasting Protein? Or at least one that does not leave such a chalky after taste? Marilyn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chunkychick 54 Posted October 20, 2012 Yeah, I like them because I pretend I'm just sipping on lemonade or a juice; it really doesn't taste like Protein. And they have about 23 grams of protein and are low carb/sugar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got a chocolate flavor and it took me forever to try to drink it. It has 23 grams of protein but I wasn't feeling the flavor. :-) I was buy another flavor and try that next time.

I have not tried that brand but I will tell you I love chocolate but when it comes to Protein Shakes, I can't do chocolate! weird. It may just take you experimenting some. I didn't think I would like the lemonade or ice tea or grapefruit flavor cause they just seemed weird for a protein but guess what? i loved them and actually bought the canisters. Since it is a thin liquid like consistency, it makes them so much easier to drink them and get your protein in. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leleboo 104 Posted October 20, 2012 Guelia1279 you can doctor up your shakes with sugar free syrups. I bought the Premeire Protein chocolate also and put one in the freezer it came out like icecream. I also mixed one with Decaf coffee and it wasn't to bad, and you can add Splenda .

Leleboo 104 Posted October 20, 2012 I sent all of you a friend request. I had to do the 6 month diet monitoring and will be finished with that at the end of January so I should have my sleeve in February. The waiting is driving me nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't give me a chalky taste at all. I mix it with SF almond milk or non-fat milk. I picked it up at Walgreens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
