Hey, in case some have not heard of these products... I've been using them for years and definitely intend to use them once I've been relegated to the dreaded Protein Shakes. The Hood Calorie Countdown is great! And the Soy Slender is really good too.

Have you tried Walmart? They all sell it here in New Orleans and I saw it at a Walmart in Dallas. And most of our supermarkets have it too.

I will try there, I've never seen it at the super walmart near my home....

I like the Hood a lot. It is what I can get down with protein powder mixed in.

I don't know why everybody thinks the "dreaded Protein Shakes " are so bad. I had been drinking them for years before the surgery. I liked them then and I sill do. It's important to find one you like before surgery. I love my Met-Rx. It's the only chocolate I get, and I'm a chocoholic, so it satisfies my cravings. Maybe I'm just lucky. But I will say I never found one I liked right off the bat. It always took drinking a few to acquire the taste for it. Also helped to not have any sweets during that same time period, so there was nothing else competing with it for tastes.

I know some peoples tastes change after surgery. For me, I gagged at the thought of any more Soup after surgery. But still loved my shakes. I hope you find one you love. It will make your road so much easier.

Hi Joyce,

What kind of protein powder are you using?

Dana

So sorry that I have missed this post. I use Unjury unflavored protein powder. I like it the best of all I have tried. Next time I will order the vanilla also. Sometimes I need a break from chocolate.
