So the other day I went to GNC and grabbed a few things.

I got hungry so instrad of gravbing something much worse in fat and carbs, Tonight I'm having a RTD canned shake called "Pure Protein Shake" in Frosty chocolate, it has 35g of protein, 4g carbs, 1g sugar, 170 calories, 1 g of fat.

It's not horrible, it is actually chocolatey, and it's not gritty, fairly smooth and reminds me of slim fast.

Just thought I'd share!

Misty,

I tried the Visalus and i just didn't care for the texture once I tried to stir it into milk.

Thanks though.

I thought about trying Visalis but it is made from soy Protein & we need Whey. It also did not have a large amount of protein per serving.....thought I'd stay away from it because I've heard it tastes good, but if it's not preferred for the things above I dont even want to try! Maybe there are other varieties?

I didn't like it anyway, and yes we do need the whey.

I just tried the GNC Gold standard Vanilla and it wasn't too bad. But my tummy is killing me right now, idk if it has anything to do with that or not but ouchie!

FYI- Whey DOES have milk so.....make sure the bottle/packet says "Whey Protein ISOLATE." That's what she told us at nutrition class yesterday.

I just tried my first protein shake...Chike chocolate bliss. OMG, I don't know if I'll be able to do this! It literally made me gag!!!

You have to try a bunch. I tried about 8 to 10th before settling on the Premier Protein ready to drink shakes. BTW, I didn't like Chieke either.

I agree I tried a bunch and premier chocolate is the only one I use. 30 grams of protein.

I have a lot of samples, but just got the nerve to try one and... whew that was bad! I think I'll go get some premier : )

I find that so strange that taste buds will change after a surgery. I mean taste is in your mouth' date=' your tongue, not your stomach.

I think it can be as much in your head as your taste buds. I was loving my cream Soups during my preop diet. I have several left over sitting on an open pantry in full view in the kitchen and I haven't touched them since my surgery. Just thinking about eating some makes me want to gag.

Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought I was the only one who thought Chike was terrible. I like the premier shakes; ordered unjury, the synthax nectar and I love the Permalene - bodacious berry.

Oh God me too, my pre-op diet made me never want to touch a creamed Soup EVER again, lol and I'm almost 8 months out. I still have a ton of SF Jello and pudding in there too lol

I moved to mushies a week and one day ago. I cannot imagine having another cream soup for a very long time. Not is, unless it includes some chunks of something really good. :-)
