Hey everybody,

Any personal experience with Prolab whey Protein, chocolate flavored? I can get stuff sent to me through drugstore.com or amazon but the PX carries a lot of protein stuff, soldiers love their muscle-building technology. =)

So the stuff we have at the PX are enormous tubs of this Prolab chocolate powder. The nutrition guide said something like 28 g protein per serving (wow!), 4 carbs, and I think the overall cal was like 160.

So I wanted to know if anybody has tried this stuff, did you like it, was it good, gross, etc. I was going to try it now but remembered all the cautions from people that flavors you may like pre-op you may find disgusting post-op. Any help would be great, thank you!!:lol0:

Um, hello?? Nobody has any information on this product? Please comment, somebody - anybody! I'm pre-op and anxious and trying to get my ducks in a row, this stuff is all that is avaiable at hand without ordering online and waiting 2 weeks.

Do you have a store where you can sample it? Some GNC stores have samples available so you can try the products before purchasing a large supply. Hope that helps, I have not tried this one so I cannot offer any advice on it.

I've never heard of it. I have been online talking about WLS for over 4 years and nobody has ever mentioned this product.

I think Papillion gave you good advice. Try to go to a nutrition store that will let you sample products. or you can go to the food section of this site and look under Protein powders for a thread I started called "places to get samples" I would buy some samples of things to try.

I definitely intend to try samples while I'm in the States to determine which ones are best for me. Then I will mail the ones I like forward to myself. But here in Iraqat the Army PX's this is the protein they have available and it would be nice if I could use that since it is handily available. I would just buy it now but the tubs are enormous.

I would not advise buying big tubs of anything before surgery. There have been many people who have done that and then hated the product after surgery. A lot of people have said that their taste changed and things they liked before surgery,they hated after surgery.

If it's not expensive and you don't mind taking a gamble, then go ahead and buy it. It would seem like maybe you could find someone there who has some that you could try?
