I bought the Bariatric Advantage High Protein Meal Replacement at the suggestion of my surgerons office. It's the product they sell in the office. The dietician spoke of it in her classes stating that it did not have the aftertaste like other protein products. They suggested this product because the protein is from a high quality whey protein isolate.
They gave me a sample of the vanilla pre surgery to try. I mixed it with 2% milk and it wasn't bad.
Post surgery, I bought this product in chocolate flavor. I've been mixing with 1% milk. I DO NOT LIKE THEM! They are very thick and just do not taste good to me. I can not drink an entire 8oz serving. I tried to make 4oz servings. Drank most of it but still didn't like it. I tried 6oz of milk and powder for 4oz to make it less strong. still no luck :smile2:
Not sure if it is just that post surgery and foods do not taste too good? The fact that I felt full after a half of it? The first few sips were not that bad. it was the end of the drink that I couldn't take any more.
Does anyone else use this product?? Do you mix anything in it? Do you use a different brand Protein shakes?
any suggestions will be appreciated.
