does anyone have any suggestions for a vanilla whey protein that isnt so sweet?? surgery is in 2 weeks and every one i try seems to be so sweet even mixed with other liquids and i dont want to dillute it down so much post op

I have been using Bariatric Advantage Protein powder. I don't find it too sweet. I like the vanilla. At first I didn't care for BA but i was only mixing it with Water. Now, even if I just add a splash of nonfat milk it tastes much better; and I add a bit more liquid than the suggested amount. BA will become very thick and frothy if you put it in a blender. I don't care for all those bubbles so I just prepare mine in a shaker. If you are familiar with muscle milk light---to compare---I think BA is about 1/3 as sweet but 3x thicker. You can get it online. Also, a serving has 27g of protein, when you add a bit of milk you get at least 30g. I would love to get more ready to drink shakes for convenience, but I can't see paying so much money. At this point, I'm happy with BA now that I have figured out how to tailor it to my taste.

I don't think diluting your shakes after surgery should be an issue--remember that after surgery it is important to get in as much flluid as possible. I hope this helps.

If you go to the food section you can find places to order samples . Then you can try a few kinds without having to buy a whole bunch.

Adri - i will have to try that, it definately sounds better thank you! Oregon - I am going to try and get samples great idea!

Spiru-tein has vanilla and chocolate protein that are unsweetened, you add your own sweetener as much or as little as you want. They sell them in single serving packets, so you could try them out first.

thank u griselda!
