Hi, I'm a newbie. I'm having surgery on Wednesday & I need to know the best "tasting" Protein Powder out there! I want something that I can mix with sweet, like smoothies, & savory, like Soups, that doesn't corrupt the taste. Any suggestions???

You can get nectar at Sams Club too a bit cheaper. But I prefer Isopure which you can get at GNC. It has zero carbs and dissolves a lot better then Nectar. Just add a little Crystal Light to it.

I have been using Body Fortress whey Protein Isolate in vanilla Cream from Walmart because of the price and it only has 2 carbs when mixed with Water. Add lots of sugar free pudding mix and splenda and it's good. However, the last time I went, they are no longer carrying the Isolate, so I had to get the Body Fortress Whey Protein in chocolate. Costs less, but has more carbs and it is absolutely revolting. The texture and aftertaste is much much worse than the isolate I was using before. So, my advice for sweet shakes is to go for a brand of whey isolate. Something about it makes it much more palatable (and better for you). HTH

I bought Unjury unflavored, i have mixed it with everything and so far its been easy to mix, doesnt add a bad taste and smoothes really well. Dunno after surgery. I also bought Isopure. It tastes ok.

I just tried the chocolate and the vanilla. It's actually really good.

Chike Stawberry Burst is the best I've ever tasted and I've tried several to test out.

Syntha 6 chocolate milkshake is good too. I got mine online but they sell it at GNC.< /p>

I use the nectar brand as well. No Carbs, 100 Calories, and 23g Protein. THe chocolate Truffle is my favorite, but Vanilla is good too :-)

Hi.. I am a newbee as well. My surgery is on Dec. 30th. I am on protien drinks right now- Baressentials. I am so tired of sweet tasting powders. Once surgery is over, I will definitley want something that I can mix into non-sweet foods. I see many post Isopure and Unjury-(unflavored) are there any additional non-sweet one's out there. How about the protien bullets? Looking for greativity in the use of those as well.

Let me recommend something to you. Everyone has different tastes and likes.

Most Protein "mix" manufacturers will send you sample packs. Syntrax, unjury, Chike, etc.....will all send you sample packs. Some charge a fee for each packet and you can pick and choose.....others just make you pay for shipping. This way you can not only sample the different brands....but also the flavors within them.

Then when you find a flavor or two that you love.....you can save money by order a large tub of it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
