OK so I have been working my way through a big canister of dutch chocolate protien shake. It was a very tasty one but had a fair number of carbsalong with the protien, but hey it was free. I don't like to eat in the am so I drink my morning meal. I have had another freebee on my shelf from who knows where anymore and I was looking forward to the change in flavor to strawberry. Well today was the day, the chocolate is gone, bring in the berry. OMHECK THAT WAS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING EVER!!!! I tried mixing it according to directions and it was super thick and nasty tasting and then I mixed it thin and it still tasted horrid. It kind of has a sour taste to it. Maybe it's gone bad or maybe it's always been bad. Either way, I ordered some new protien powder and it will get here hopefully within a week and it better be good!

I would definetly throw that stuff out.

See if you can find the brand you loved on the internet and find out what other flavors they have and who carries them.

Good Luck!

Well I think my DH and I both agree that it has just plain gone bad. It is well past it's expiration and I have had the runs all afternoon since having just a couple of sips. I ordered some Cookies and creme flavored protien mix from Bariatric Eating. Supposedly they taste test everything they sell and if it isn't good they won't sell it. So I am giving it a go. A friend of mine has some of the cookies and creme from them and LOVES it. Meanwhile I have a whole week of no protien shakes :welldoneclap:. And I agree Jack, most strawberry flavored things are yuck to start with. But I do like strawberry ice cream (haven't had any in like a year but oh well) and I used to love my grandmothers homemade strawberry freezer jam. And a few other things my grandma made with berries, but I'm gonna stop with that whole mind thread before I go crazy and buy something I shouldn't.

Yeah, I've used bariatriceating.com too! I got the sampler pack which was a cool way to test several brands before I had to buy some big old jug of a powder I might hate!

I usually buy vanilla and then add flavor of some kind to it. I get those flavor syrups that coffee shops use and make my own flavors. I use Torani, and Davinich both brands come in sugar free, or regular. Also if you have a Gloria jeans or borders near you they both have their own brand of Syrup for sale. My favorite place to buy the syrup is cost plus world market, they are everywhere and have a huge selection (including seasonal flavors) I have also found both brands at value city, and Marshall's. Gourmet stores carry some high end brands, and Wal-mart has a limited selection of small bottles in the coffee section. You can also add your own Peanut Butter, fruit, or Hersey's syrup for flavor (they come in sugar free now too). ~Mandy

Yes it is matrix brand. I do like sweet so that shouldn't be a problem :) I will definitely try the chocolate sometime soon too. I hear it makes really good hot cocoa. Has anyone tried their mixer bottle?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
