Tried My First Protein Shake Today

OMG, it was awful! Will I ever get used to these things. I've yet to commit to surgery and I'm trying out any number of things right now. I have to admit that the shake filled me up and left me more satisfied than most meals I've ever eaten but the scent and texture did not go well. BTW, it was a Bariatric Advantage Iced Latte flavor meal replacement.

Thanks Patrick. I'll have to try that.

I've been drinking EAS vanilla (2 scoops) mixed with about a tablespoon of instant coffee granules, a big splash of sugar-free amaretto flavored syrup and crushed ice. I blend it in the blender and then drink it through a straw. The coffee is strong enough to kill the Protein taste and smell. It's pretty good. If you get enough crushed ice in it, you're golden. The problem is that you can only stand to drink it for so many days before you start getting sick of it.

I tried Body Fortress that so many people rave about and it was DISGUSTING to me. It was chalky, gritty and just gross. The smell was great but that's all I can say about it.

That sounds pretty good.

I think I'm going to give those Isopure drinks a shot and see what they're about. Can you buy them individually somewhere or do you have to buy them by the case?

Hi Rainbo, I just tried those isopure an to me they are gross also. To thick,gritty with an after taste. Not as bad as the powders but gross to me non the less. I am going to try and Water it down and see if that helps.

This evening I tried the unjury chocolate Splendor. I didn't think it was going to fill me, but it totally did, and it was pretty tasty with no weird aftertaste or grit. I love chocolate though, so I might be a little biased. I had purchased the starter kit, so I could sample the different flavors. I'm hoping I like the others ones as well, so I can have some variety.

I guess just try different things and hopefully you'll find something you like. Nothing is more annoying than having to completely change you diet and hate what you are changing it to. Good luck! :)

Rainbo, I got them from Rite Aid they only had them in a six pack for $12. I am spending so much money trying ti fine one i can stick with b/c if i dont like them i wont drink them an I know thats not good.

I tried the isopure zero carb water today and liked it. I tried the passion fruit flavor and the bottle is 20 Oz and it has 40 grams of protein. Im still sipping on it but it is going down well.

I have an Unjury starter pack and have tried several with favorable results. The Vanilla I had this morning was excellent, had no unpleasant aftertaste and kept me full until In & Out Burger opened and I had my double/double, animal style (no spread)/protein style (wrapped in lettuce, no bun). For those of you that live in the vicinity of an In & Out ordering "protein style" is a perfect way to get some lean beef, cheese, pickles and a tomato slice wrapped in lettuce. "Animal Style" gets a bunch of grilled onions but I'd recommend specifying no spread; the spread basically being Thousand Island dressing.

I went to vitamin shoppe today and they have a huge selection of protein drinks in singles. I bought several singles to try including the Isopure (apple/melon). They also had a selection of muscle milk and I got a cake batter flavor - I like being able to try the singles before committing to the case.
