Vitamin World also carries them. But as stated they are truly disgusting. You may try freezing them and eating them with a spoon. They do pack a whopping amount of Protein though. Worldwide which is at Trader Joes, GNC, and Vit World also is a descent Protein Shake. It was the most tolerable of the group. It comes in 2 different counts of protein. There is one with 22 grams and one with 35 I believe. The Cookies and cream flavor is the best.

You can get them at GNC, or I got mine at bariatriceating.com They are super nasty. I have to hold my breath and basically drink them like a shot, and have a Water chaser. They are really thick However the 42g of Protein is worth it for me. Good luck. Just don't expect some fruit flavored good tasting thing. however, I do not mind the taste of the Isopure ready to drink bottles. they have 40g of protein and only 160 cal per bottle. The are not wonderful but they are the least offensive Protein Drinks I've found. good luck.

Well, I never 'drank' them.. I used the 42g, and I shot half at a time.. like you would do alcohol, and chased it with something pleasant (or just water). It tastes like a weirdo nasty koolaid if you actually 'drank' it.. but.. I wouldn't recommend drinking them. It's only 3oz in the whole thing, so 1.5oz is a shot.

I tried them the other day - the grape and lemon lime - and I thought they were great. Nice smooth taste and I had no trouble with them.

I have been using New Whey Protein drinks in the 42gram and 176 Calories from GNC. I love the flavors Grape and Fruitpunch. They are great for snack times drinking half in the morning hours and half in the afternoon really gives you a boost on protein not to mention they make you feel completely full for a long time.

I prefer the nectar Protein drinks. I have had strawberry kiwi and caribbean cooler. They are the least expensive I have found so far and they taste pretty good. They have 23 grams of protein, only 90 calories, no carbs and no sugar. The flavors available are apple ecstasy, strawberry kiwi, lemonade, caribbean cooler (tastes like pina colada), fuzzy navel, Twisted cherry, cappucinno latte, lemon tea and crystal sky (blue raspberry). They are only $27.95 for 2 lbs right now at SAVEONSUPPLEMENTS.COM: The lowest prices on BSN EAS CYTOSPORT Isopure LABRADA MET-RX MUSCLETECH NUTREX PRO-RX PROLAB. The shipping was pretty reasonable, too.

Someone I talked to said she mixes the caribbean cooler with a chocolate Protein Drink and loves it! I don't care for pina colada, but the blue raspberry is my next one. The protein amount is lower than most of the ones mentioned here, but it is tolerable to drink. Plus, if you have one of those every day in addition to any other protein you might have in cottage cheese, eggs, etc. it won't take long to get it all in. Or find two of these you like and have two per day!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
