Ok, before I go venturing out to buy these Protein supplements for my liquid stage, I'd love your input on what tastes good, what has no taste (and can be mixed with stuff), and what makes you want to gag just thinking about it again.

My nutritionist gave me these options:

broth Plus

nectar

Nutra/Pro

Designer whey Protein

Procel

Upcal D plus

Proteinex

Vita 4 Life

Pro-Stat 64

EAS Advantage Edge Whey Protein

Shape Up Complete Nutrition shake

Unjury Protein Supp powder

BioPlex Whey Protein

Met-Rx Protein Plus

Carb Solutions Protein shakes

Slim-Fast low carb

Naked Food-Juice

optisource High Protein Drink

Don't get me wrong, I'm appreciative by all my choices. I'm just a little overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Thanks

Daisy: I have not tried but one of those and that is the Slim-Fast one. I liked it.

I use a product from USANA. www.usana.com

I take the chocolate Protein Powder add 1/2 cup of milk, one whole banana, and 1 teaspoon of Peanut Butter and blend really well. YUM YUM!!

They have different flavors as well.

These drs. all say different things. Mine said no Slim-fast. I like the Adkins Low Carb ready-mixed cans. They taste good and 20 grams Protein. I just bought whatever Protein Powder that Sams had on sale. I got the unflavored, added it to fat-free milk, a sliced banana, some frozen fruit (strawberries, blueberries, peaches -whatever you like), add some ice...run through the blender and you have a wonderful smoothie. Too much fruit will make it thick and harder to drink.

Whatever you choose, buy in a small quantity at first so if you don't like it, you don't get stuck w/a case.

I heard the Atkins shakes were great. It is my understanding that you must watch out for the sugar in those supplement drinks....so you may want to compare sugar and calores. I think skim milk has a good deal of Protein by itself. I liked the suggestion of making your own-by New Hope. That way-you know exactly what's going into your body-and you are not spending a fortune.

I like Pro-Stat 64 and you can find additional recipes at www.cwimedical.com

I packs alot of Protein in one ounce, which has been helpful to me.

I've tried lots of powders, and most gag me. The best powder happened to be one of the cheaper ones that I got at Walgreens. It's called Milk and Egg Protein and doesn't have much of a flavor, so it takes on anything you add.

But I buy the Adkins cans for convenience, though they're a little pricey.

costco makes their own version of the slim fast drink and I found that pretty good. Good luck, Teresa

unjury is my favorite so far..I will mix the unflavored in my yoguart. The choclate, I mix in 8 oz milk and it's like a Wendy's frosty. Yummy!! I tried the nectar (Fuzzy Navel flavor) and it left a metal taste in my mouth.

If anyone has a good fruit flavored one that they like can you please share...I really need some new flavors...

I really like the EAS Advant Edge. I like it better than the atkin's cans. I haven't tried the others on the list.

I like that the EAS has more Protein than the atkin's. But I don't like all the sugars....

I really like the new Slim Fast (the one w/fewer carbs). When I had to do liquids for 1 week recently, that's all I drank practically.

Kim- I mix the nectar Roadside Lemonaid w/ Crystal Lite Lemonaid. My 19 yo Daughter likes it better w/ the Protein in it. She says it takes the bite out of the Crystal lite. I wasn't crazy about the Fuzzy Navel- but I had just mixed it in Water. I may order another sample pack and see if mixing it with the Crystal Sunrise Surprize (the orange one.) makes it taste better.

ok, its not on your list, but both my surgeon and dietician said it was fine- my absolute favorite is Muscle Milk- it comes in lots of flavors- best tasting is chocolate Milk or Chocolate Mint. Other ones make me gag too, but Muscle Milk is something I would drink, even if I didnt have to- seriously.!

Unjury is the best by far. You can order individual ones on their website for taste. It's great! www.unjury.com

Make sure you ask if your dr what he lets you mix it with. Mine said no milk, fruit, or Peanut Butter for 6 weeks after surgery. Since I only like skim milk, they have been letting me use it diluted with 50% Water.

Since my restrictions include a minimum of 20 gr Protein and less than 5 gr carbs, I'm pretty limited in what I try. I have been using GNC 100% whey, GNC Protein 95 powder,etc. I like the vanilla caramel and strawberry flavors.

My liquid phase was two danon low fat yogurts, 5 high Protein drinks and one slim fast a day. I drank Ensure High Protein and fell in love with the banana flavored one. The others were very good too.

Try to use the Slim Fast powered before the ready to drink ones in the cans. read the labels. there is a difference in what you get and the cans if I remember have more sodium then you want.
