The only one that I can sometimes tolerate is the EAS advant edge. I have tried Isopure, the new whey and pure protein shots. All those are totally disgusting and make me gag to the point of throwing up. I have also tried some of the Bariwise shakes the flavoer is not to bad but are really sweet and give me a really bad stomach ache. So I just have to keep trying new ones I guess.- I Got Insurance Approval Today!

But it worries me I had blood work today and all my chemistries where low. I go to the dr next week so will have to talk to them again. Thanks- Anyone Else Like This At This Stage?
