Try GNC Pro Performance naturally unflavored. I can't do anything where I can taste the Protein in it.

Not everyone dumps for a month my dr had me on something with close to 30g of sugar, including the morning after surgery... And two weeks following... I had no problem as far as getting sick.. I just didn't like it because it was too sweet for my tastes.

I like the Syntrax Nectar brand of Protein. They have fruit flavors that are not milky and sometimes i will add some crystal light to make it more flavorful. Not gritty at all. I also like their vanilla protein, i mix it three ways to switch it up. I like to add orange crystal light to it so it's like a creamsicle, i also like to use the vanilla with sugar free pumpkin spice Syrup and instant Decaf coffee, and the last way is just the syrup and almond milk with the protein, it kinda tastes like soy eggnog that way. Syntrax is sugar free, carb free and fat free. 23 g of protein per scoop

thank you for all of your suggestions I was able to find that Syntrax Nectar which is the best I definitely like that I can manipulate the vanilla one but also all the flavors are really tasty. my current favorite is the vanilla with almond milk and orange sugar free Jello

You could try Torani sugar free syrups made with Splenda. They come in many, many flavors.

You purchase them from World Market, directly from the company, Amazon, or eBay.

They are really good.

K I need to find a Protein powder I like. I need as many weigh ins as possible.

Here are my problems:

1. I'm so over chocolate right now

2. My current powder (bariatric advantage) is so thick I'm gagging on it

3. Can't handle gritty texture

4.would prefer to mix with Water but can do milk.

Ok please give me suggestions

I started out with Bariatric Advantage from the Doctor's office, then tried Premier Protein (premixed), Pure Protein (premixed), and Six-Star Protein (powder)..

Like you, I'm so "over" chocolate, and I understand the deal with the thickness of BA Protein, but what I didn't realize is that Premier and Pure weren't primarily whey protein. As such, drinking the premixes post surgery caused my body to kick off a Gout flare up.

I retreated to the Six-star (bought at Walmart) Vanilla, but I really can't stomach the vanilla mixed with Water, so.. It's pretty much a waste.

My advice to you -- thickness aside -- might be to try doubling the water that you mix the BA powder with? Either that, or try just using one scoop to 8 oz of water instead of 2 scoops. You'd have to drink 2 shakes for the same protein, but you've got to get in your water anyway, right?

i blend mine with Water and ice. the different texture helps a lot and makes it similar to milk shake.< /p>

UMP Cookies and Cream is amazing!! http://www.amazon.com/Beverly-International-Ultimate-Cookies-2-pounds/dp/B0013OQ98E

Protizyme Peanut Butter Cookie is awesome! http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/p/metabolic-nutrition-protizyme-peanut-butter-cookie-2-lb-powder/9m-1005

And for plain vanilla that you can mix other stuff in, MRM Vanilla is very smooth and creamy, and cheap!

As for what to mix it in, I really like almond milk (Unsweetened Original). It gives it a smoother texture (I think) than Water, but doesn't have as many calories/carbs at regular milk.

Great info! Need to get on Amazon & order some.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
