I ordered Lean Desserts Chocolate Coconut and WOW...it's amazing! Not only does it taste like a milkshake, it's thick and creamy like one. I blended it up with milk and ice in my blender and it's literately just like a yummy milkshake. I'm going to try it again after surgery and make sure it still works then I may buy more flavors! Yum!!

You mean that awful protein taste is not there? I can hardly stomach any of these shakes anymore. Even the so called unflavored is awful.

Don't be surprised if you can't handle it creamy right after surgery when you move off Clear liquids. When there is literally no room in your stomach due to swelling, most people want shakes as thin as possible. Just don't blend it if it bothers you too much and just use the shaker bottle, then once you get further along, blending works fine. The blender aerates the shake adding alot of air (thats what makes it creamy and fluffy) and air in your stomach is extemely uncomfortable right after surgery - and it bloats your little sleeve. After a few weeks, and as the swelling goes down, it will get easier, I promise.

You are gonna be surprised as to what it takes to make you feel stuffed!

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow!

Any of the old timers: is this the kind of protein we can have. Looked it up on line and I don't think it is the whey isolate. But then again maybe I just didn't find it.

That's a good question, I read others reviews it and bought it without looking at the type of protein. I hope so because there is no bad taste at all, it's so good! I'd love to hear people's thoughts on that!

I'll be careful, thanks for the advice and the well wishes!

Looks ok from what I read from the supplemental facts on line:

A sustained release multi-functional micellar Protein matrix comprised of: (Milk Protein Concentrate, Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate [Milk] Rich in Alpha-Lactalbumin, Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolate [Milk] Rich in Whey Isolate Peptide Fractions, Micellar alpha and beta caseins and caseinates [Milk], Egg Albumen [Egg], Calcium Caseinate [from milk]), Maltodextrin, Corn Syrup Solids, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Vegetable Gum, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan, Sucralose, Mono & Diglycerides, sodium alginate, Lecithin (Soy)

I am getting worried because I had the lap band done a couple years ago and I am gonna find it hard to drink these protein shakes. I gag just thinking about them. I hope I find a good one for me.

I am pre-surgery but I looked for a low carb, low sugar with high protein and good taste. I actually found one, it is called Low Card SRO. I got the shakes have 0 carbs and sugars with 20 grams of protein. I got strawberry and it had a good tast. The price wasnt horrible for the amount that you recieve. Hope this helps.

Be careful with this, your taste buds change a lot and what tastes good pre surgery may not even be tolerable post. Good luck!

My issue is the smell. Is there any protein that doesn't stink?

I don't find the few types I've had to smell at all. When I wasn't pregnant I drank isofemme vanilla and chocolate. But I bought the exact brand (super store) strawberry whey and it is really good!

It's cheap has 26g of Protein per serving 1 gram of sugar and really low carb. Tastes like an insane Breakfast to me. I mix it with unsweetened almond milk.

Instant* not insane
