I hate Protein Shakes. I haven't tried a single one that didn't make me gag. UNTIL tonight!! Stopped at 7-11 to grab Water & noticed they had muscle milk. I was starving because I'd been out for a long time unexpectedly so I was happy to see it, but they only had light in one flavor - vanilla Latte. Omg. So delish! Tastes like a Starbucks Chai Latte. It was realllly good! Only possible drawback for some is it is caffeinated. I'm thrilled about it personally, but I know a lot of sleevers avoid caffeine. If you don't mind that, TRY IT!! Yum!

Just got a box yesterday in chocolate. I used optimum nutrition ( which is a powder ) before ..great source of Protein. But as for a pr-mixed protein muscle milk is one of the best tasting in my opinion. Its also comes in a powder

Of all the RTD's (Ready To Drink) out there, Muscle Milk light in Vanilla Latte is def my favorite, especially if I can shake it up really good or even blender it, so it gets all whippy, with some ice cubes so it is super duper cold - yumm!! And SO filling, I don't know what special thing they do to it but it fills me up and stays for a very long time, longer than any other shake. Win-win!

I have tried two other Muscle Milks and hated them, granted they were not the lights. I will try this one but if that one sucks not doing anymore - LOL!

I hope I like it because it is important to have one you do like that you can grab on the go!

I swear I have HATED all Protein Drinks but I got this again today to see if it was just a fluke & nope! Still delish! If you like a chai latte you'll like it! It's not thick it's kind of the consistency of Water. Try it!! Also, it's a ready-to-drink, not a powder.

Yeah all other RTDs are just disgusting, bleachh! But this one, I swear, if you are a visual eater, just take this and pop it into one of those reusable Starbucks cups that looks like the kind they serve iced drinks in and you won't know the difference! Especially if you tap a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg on it with a squirt of SF whip! =)

I went through a phase where MM was my favorite but now I can't stand it. It goes in cycles if you drink the shakes long enough! Nowadays I mix my unflavored, vanilla or chocolate powder with tea or coffee every morning - sometimes over ice and sometimes not. Sometimes I used flavored coffee or a spiced tea, and sometimes I jazz it up with a little flavored Syrup, too. It's the easiest way by far to get my Protein in each day and I've been drinking at least one shake a day for 20 months.

Anyway, if you get tired of paying for RTD or if you get ready to try powders again in the future it's an option! I use Integrated supplements (they have my favorite unflavored out of more than half a dozen I've tried) but I'm sure there's a brand out there you can tolerate. For now, enjoy that fact that you've found a shake you actually like!

Yep, this just goes for RTD's, overall my favorite is a Protein Powder called Tera's whey, an organic dark cocoa. I mix that with a little Click - the espresso Protein powder, some almond or hemp milk, and a spash of SF Torani Syrup. Put it all in my Starbucks to-go cup and noone would ever know the difference!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
