Protein opinions...what worked, what didn't

I have searched on here, and haven't found any information about this. Has anyone used the Protein powder from smoothie King called Gladiator? I got some samples, and really like them. It is low carb, less than 1 sugar, and has 45g whey Isolate protein. I also bought some Body Fortress to mix with pudding, milk, etc in vanilla, and it has 52g whey isolate. Has anyone tried these? I would love to get an opinion. So far, I have tried the following, and thought....

  • powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup- Loved it at first, but then got tired of it fast! 21g protein= 1 scoop
  • Bullets- Couldn't get them down...not a single one, even the tiny ones...especially them
  • Isopure - tried grape, fruit punch, etc, and again, liked it at first in the hospital and I think I was on too much medicine cause I got tastebuds back, and couldn't stand it! 20oz=40g
  • Optifast- Chocolate: loved it..still drink it, Vanilla: good, but got old, Strawberry: Not so good, Chicken soup: not terrible, Tomato: not my favorite 14g protein
  • GNC unflavored: great to mix in with stuff....1/2 scoop is 14g, and it is 100% Whey Isolate. Smell isn't great, but there isn't any taste. 28g=1 scoop
  • Gladiator (Smoothie King) - Chocolate: Very sweet, but good. No super bad protein smell and high protein. Good with milk. Haven't tried other flavors yet, and they have samples for about $2.99 in the store.(at least they did here) 12oz = 45g protein
  • Body Fortress - Vanilla: bought it today..haven't tried it yet. Plan to make smoothies, and mix with pudding. Highest protein amount I've found. 52g=2 scoops

I would love to hear what everyone else has experienced.

Did you ever get a response on this? My friend who had lap band done used the Body Fortress Whey Protein Powder. He said it was the only one he liked. However I saw on the Meijer website that it says in the description that it is not for weight loss - so that has me concerned about it. Is it ok to use or not?
