      I feel for you, I went through the same thing. I tried 3 or 4 different Protein shakes before I found one that I actually liked. (some were seriously awful! lol) I really like unjury, I'm 9 months

      I've found that mixing the Protein powder with a cup of 1% milk, then adding 1 or 2 ice cubes to the blender for mixing makes the shake ticker and helps it taste better. I use the GNC Wheybolic Extrem

      Part of my bandster life has been to get in the habit of reading nutrition labels. If you read the amount of Protein in the Carnation product, it is lacking significantly in the type of protein bariat

    On my preop I had to do the Optifast, I didn't care for the vanilla so added decaf instant coffee, made it tolerable....lots of ice and pre op, drank thru a straw because I couldn't stand the smell. Post op, sticking with optifast chocolate.

    I've been using Nectar unflavored protein powder and EAS chocolate. I put the unflavored in just about everything to give a boost.
