I seem to be in the minority when it comes to Protein drinks. I LOVE MML(it can be rather expensive though..), and of course if you like what you're drinking you'll stick to it, right? My surgeon sells this horrible tasting Protein Drink, but if I had to drink that I'd DIE...lol..Any suggestions for a thick, great tasting one that's low in fat?? I currently drink the 8.25 oz, 150 cal/4.5 fat/20 protein..my surgery is this Weds....

I would tell you to keep drinking the MML. It is one of the Protein shakes my NUT recommended and since you like it I would continue. I don't know why you feel the need to change...if the cost is the issue, look into the powder and get a shaker bottle to mix it up in. Many people have a hard time finding a shake they like, so count yourself lucky ;)

I drank RTD MML for a long time, then switched to RTD Premier Nutrition shakes because I prefer the taste. Even though the MML shakes have a little more Protein per ounce, I like Premier brand better, and the cost is similar enough not to be an issue. (I get mine at costco, but they're sold elsewhere, including the Premier website www.premiernutrion.com.) I spend so much less on food these days, the price of RTD shakes is nothing for me to worry about. Heck, i used to spend twice or three times as much as a case of RTD shakes every week just at the pizza store... :)

I drink MML. I was just banded 3 weeks ago. I have two shakes a day and one meal. It's perfect.

I drink MML everyday ! Have been doing that for almost 5 yrs. now...

But I buy about 5 different flavors from a website where it's not expensive at all.

I don't drink their plane chocolate (IT'S LOUSEY !) Now there chocolate milk taste like Devil's food Cake.

My surgeon made it clear that this is what we are to drink. 195 Calories, 25 G of Protein is a very good shake.

I don't know what your buying, but I buy the powder, and mix with Water. They are very good. Cake Batter is the newest flavor.

If your drinking chocolate out of a can, I would switch to the powder in a 1.65LB. Jug for under $19.00. Only 2 scoops for a

8 oz. shake. So a big jug goes a long way. Which does not make it expensive at all if you know where to shop !

Good Luck with what your doing? If you ever want to update, contact me, and I will give the Info on where to shop from.

You can see for yourself that way.....

Not sure but when i was just trying them out to find one that I liked it was a completely different ball game. Now that I am on the preop liquid diet ( SURGERY DATE JULY29!!! YEA!) The ones that I thought i liked I dont! lol so had to find some. Now I am having Unjury chicken Soup Protein powder- mixed with Water it is very good. Haven't found a powder that I LIKE mixed with water yet!! I have tried Unjury strawberry withwater- YUKE!! i now it tastes better with milk, but I am trying to have my shakes in water so I can have an additional yogurt instead. I will keep on searching! Tried MML- it was ok. Good luck to you all.

If you're willing to branch out into powdered shakes you mix at home, it's pretty easy to make them thick. I make mine with a scoop of Protein Powder, a cup of skim milk, and then 4+ ice cubes depending how thick I want them to be. If you find a powder you like it really can make them taste like a milkshake, particularly if you add in some sugar-free flavor syrups. Yum!

I googled Muscle Milk Light, and a lot of sites will come up that sell it.

AllStarHealth.com is who I went through 1-800-875-8989 is the number, but you have to open a account with them.

These are 1.65Lb Jugs of powder that I bought. You will have to see what they have in what your looking for.

$18.89 chocolate MILK

$18.89 Peanut Butter CHOCOLATE

$ 5.95 SHIPPING FOR 1 OR MORE IT STAYS THE SAME $5.95.

There Plain Chocolate is Lousy In POWDER FORM. I can't speak for the other stuff.

But there chocolate milk,, you open the container, and it smells like DEVIL'S food CAKE. It is very good for a chocolate.

All you need is a shaker bottle, and your good to go.

Hope this helps,Shirley. What's the RTD stand for?

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
