I took three or four back to GNC and my husband ended up using one or two others. All of them grossed me out!!! I gave up and got the Protein bullets from GNC. I'd gotten a sample in my goodie bag when I was discharged from Forest Park.....let me assure you' date=' it wasn't good either, but it was 3.5 ounces!!! Easy compared to a shake that seemed to keep "growing" as I had to keep adding ice to make it drinkable and the three days after discharge that I did finish one.....it literally took HOURS!!!!! The little bullet, I'd hold my nose and take a few sips in the morning, again at noon and finish it up in the evening. 43 grams of Protein, all I had to do was rinse my mouth out after my sips. Just like taking medicine when I was a kid. LOL I never lost my hair (I also took Biotin) and my labs were always good.

Good luck!!!!! Protein is important, I was determined to find something I could get down![/quote']

What is a protein bullet? I laughed so hard with your comment about the drink growing. Nasty!

While in my weight loss journey I tried almost every Protein powder out there. They were nothing but disgusting. The thickness' date=' the after taste, and just plain nastiness doesnt sit we'll with me. Please tell me someone out there had the same reaction but found something good?[/quote']

The only Protein Powder I use is premier Protein shakes rarely and unflavored PP in my yogurt. I get my Protein from food.

The shake I like the best is Isopure low-carb Dutch chocolate. It's not overly sweet, doesn't have a strong Protein flavor, and tastes more like chocolate milk or hot chocolate. The only con is that it seems a bit gritty, but the taste makes me overlook that. It is best mixed with fat free milk, but is decent with Water, too.

Ugh I hate the grit, especially when you won't be able to really wash it down quickly with Water.< /p>

I, too, have tried & returned several different Protein powders. I used Body Fortress chocolate Peanut Butter before surgery but it does have 7 grams of carbs so I tried the Body Fortress vanilla whey isolate & added sugar-free Torani, DaVinci or Walden Farms syrups. I tolerated it, but after surgery, the vanilla stuff was horrible & sat like a rock in my stomach. Of course, for the first week after surgery I was only allowed Clear Liquids, no Protein Shakes until day 8. I went back to the chocolate peanut butter stuff since I could handle it. But after another week or so, even that one turned on me. I bought some unflavored whey isolate Protein Powder & GNC & added my flavored syrups to that. The only issue I had was that it was a bit thick. I did a lot of research online & ended up getting some Now Sports unflavored whey isolate protein powder from Amazon. You can even get it in a 10-pound bag for the best value. It is truly unflavored & is not thick. Now that I'm on pureed foods, I add it to get my protein goals each day.
