I have tried many different Protein drinks and have yet to find the one I really like...

Please comment if you have tried it and liked/disliked it Thanks....

The Muscle Milk Light from costco in the 8.25oz size is the only Protein shake I'm drinking. Of everything I've tried, it's the one I tolerate best. Drink it very cold, and it's pretty easy. But if you try one and dislike it, Costco will take the rest back. Just tell them it didn't work out for you, and you'll get your refund.

I LOVE Muscle Milk! But, I use the powder because I am lactose intolerant. I mix half soy milk, half Water and the chocolate shake flavor that is 26 grams of Protein per scoop. I drink it every morning for Breakfast and it keeps me full till lunch. As a matter of fact, today I didn't even eat lunch (not really a good thing) because I couldn't think of anything I felt like eating and I wasn't the least bit hungry. Everyone's taste is different, but for me Muscle Milk powder is the best!

Good luck.

Haven't tried the powder (MM LIGHT) but the MM Light RTD in vanilla creme and in strawberry creme is the bomb!! The chocolate tastes fake, the mocha is so-so. Eas Carbvantage is a poor second IMO. I have to add stuff the the EAS to make it taste decent.

Have you tried the Syntrax Nectars? They're pretty good, but need a flavor boost if mixed with Water. www.si03.com I got them to send me a sampler package of 16 different flavors for about 15 or 16 bucks. Write and ask about samples.< /p>

I like muscle milk light but only the chocolate flavor, vanilla tastes fake and strange to me. These come pre-made in boxes (like a juice box), I haven't tried the powder. But as far as Protein goes, I prefer Pure Protein in the cans because they have much more protein, again I prefer their chocolate flavors and Cookies and cream over the vanilla. The Pure Protein vanilla is really gross! Anyone try throwing their Protein Shakes in the blender with a little bit of frozen fruit and some ice? It's much more filling than just drinking it straight from the can/box and it's so yummy!

I gagged on the strawberry, but maybe I just didn't have it cold enough but haven't gotten the nerve to try it again. And maybe a different flavor would be better.

I tried the vanilla flavored one on Saturday and almost threw up immediately, it was disgusting!!!! I use the Syntha 6 Vanilla Ice Cream Flavor and blend it with Almond Milk and Chocolate/ banana Flavoring....mm mmmm good!!!!!

Also, when I am in a hurry, I grab an Equate Brand Vanilla shake, pretty good too!

Muscle Milk is great. I was in Florida this past weekend without my regular Optimum Nutrition powder, so I went to a local grocer and bought 2 4 packs of Muscle Milk, the 11 ounce juice-box like containers. 1 in vanilla creme and 1 chocolate. They were both pretty good. 210 calories and 22g of Protein. Not as much as optimum nutrition, each one kept me satiated for 3 hours.

I've tried Ready to Drink Muscle Milk Lite chocolate it was pretty good. Also available at costco is Premier Protein Ready to Drink 160 cal, 30 g Protein. I've also gotten a case of Pacific Organic Sweet Red Pepper/Tomato Soup that is great for post surgery/fill. Great pricing compared to the Grocery store.

I have tried the Muscle Milk Lite in chocolate in the past, and just bought some today because I'm going back to work tomorrow. I got my band on 12/31/10. I've not found any Protein Drink that I will say that I LIKE however MM lite is drinkable for me.

I tried the Muscle Milk lite and really disliked it. BUT, BUT, BUT, I found one that I really like - even love and it is SO easy to get. CARNATION INSTANT Breakfast "NO SUGAR ADDED". You can buy it on Amazon.com and have it the next day.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
