The best advice I got was to find one you like so you stick with it. People have been posting about 2oz. Protein bullets sold at costco, I'm going to check my local Costco out to see if they have them. I am tired of drinking a full cup of Protein Shake too.

I can honestly say that I actually ENJOY my protein!!!

You guys should really check out nectar Protein (here's a link) Nectar Protein by Syntrax Protein - Discount Sport & Bodybuilding supplements - My Supplement Store Online

It really is the best tasting in my opinion. I also have a vanilla flavor, but I drink the Fuzzy Navel nectar. I will put half a bottle packet of Crystal Light peach tea or strawberry.

I REALLY recommend you try a Nectar.. I think on some sights you can find sample packets.

I hated the Protein Shakes until I found Atkins Advantage. Now the ONLY flavor I do like from Atkins is Dark chocolate Royale.

I'm hating these shakes but need the calories. The taste in my mouth is horrible. It feels like I need to brush my teeth every hour. I have been on the Atkins Shakes and just started Slimfast...they all suck.....9 more days 'till surgery.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
