Then click on muscle milk light and see what they have to offer.

Do they have anything that tastes like buttered popcorn? I don't usually like sweet drinks/foods at all (except a little ice cream now and then), and the idea of Protein drinks for the liquid stage is yucky to me, although I will do it if I have to. What other options for Liquid Protein are there for someone who likes savory flavors best?

I actually liquidised "real" food - in that we had a roast chicken on night, so I took some skinless roast chicken (I reserved some of the breast for me), some steamed vegetables, perhaps 1/4 of a potato and some gravy and added a lot of liquid chicken stock, blended it all up so that it would go through a straw. Did the same with spaghetti bolognaise - took the meat sauce, a few bits of cooked spaghetti, added a can of tomatoes and turned it soupy. Vegetable and lentil Soup with loads of organic veges and brown lentils. liquids means anything that goes through a straw and with stock, a can of tomatoes or Water you can blend most things up.

I had as normal a diet as possible during liquids and I found them easy easy easy, and because the liquids I made were filling, I took in less calories than I would have done eating rubbish like jelly, ice cream or loads of juice (all of which were also allowed).

Before I started doing this I was trying to use up the Optifast as well as juice and V8 etc and I was getting disoriented and ended up having fainting spells.

I drink 2 shakes a day because of my restriction and not being able to eat at work due to stress.

For me, GNC Nitro-Tech at 110 calories and 22 grams of Protein is the best. The chocolate tastes like melted ice cream and I drink it hot in the morning like a mug of hot chocolate.< /p>

The vanilla is great by itself, but if I add 1/4 tsp of sugar-free Jello, I get any flavor I want. Think orange creamsicles . . . . yummmmmm. Or instant coffee for cappacino.

I've tried a lot of shakes and this brand is my favorite.

Someone posted recently a Protein Drink that they thought was great. It is called ISOPURE...I'm going to try it the next time I am close to a GNC store. Good Luck!

I just got one yesterday it has 50 grms prot, and about 220 cal and the fruit ones have no carbs, I opptted for the choc and it has 2 carbs. I found it a bit watery but very good flavor. I am thinking of using half skim and half Water next time..I am going to use this for breakfast daily...it seems to be easier than cereal.. I will probably still have my malt o meal once in a while...I got the 2 gal bucket..lol it was $93. you may beable to get it on ebay for less...geri:clap2:

Lol, believe it or not it is entirely possible to be a very successful bandster without ever drinking Protein shakes!

I prefer to get my Protein from its original source, I never ever drink Protein shakes. I hate them and they're too much a "processed" food for my liking.

I abhor Protein drinks. They all taste nasty and artificial to me.

Jachut, what are you typically eating in a day to get your protein in? I'm newly banded, so I'm still struggling to find what works for me.

Hey all , here's my two cents...I use Advant Edge Soy Protein 20g protein, vanilla ! No bad taste at all. I got it at Walmart. I like to mix it with a can of Atkins Advantage chocolate Royale or Vanilla shake cans..I add these in my blender with some ice and a little 1% milk and it taste just like a REAL milk shake..:hungry: Its real filling too.

I drink the clear flavored Isopure form GNC but I doctor them up somewhat. I put a couple of slices of lime and some crushed strawberries in them with lots of crushed ice. It's similar to the strawberry limeade form Sonic.

i went to (i think this is the website..) www.bariatriceating.com and they have single servings of different Protein mixes. I LLOVE that i was able to try a bunch out.

i really like the nectar iced tea and lemonade and nectar Twisted cherry. the isofruitcantaloupe is very wnderful...

bad thing about the single packets is that i forget what i ordered!

my coworkers got me 2 big boxes of myoplex light chocolate and myoplex strawberry. they're good with some Peanut Butter but I feel they make too big of a serving, guess i could always put it back n the fridge for later - not sure why THAT never crossed my mind before!

I really like powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury (ordered online)........... their strawberry is good and I really like the chocolate. I liked Hank's, but I've read that they have not been completely honest on their labels regarding the true amount of sugar, etc.

I agree. I drink Unjury in milk every morning and it's good. It's like chocolate milk. Do try the chocolate. Lately, I've had diarrhea so I added some chocolate Citrocel to my Unjury and it is pretty good. I just hope it works.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
