These protein supplements are AWFUL!

(begin vent) I hate these damn things! Twice a day, forcing this crap down my throat so that I get at least close to the required protein. They taste horrible, and yet what I drink is the BEST tasting of any I've tried. Why can't protein be made into a pill?! It is absolute WORK to put these things down and they're only 8 oz. each. They suck! (end vent) Thanks for listening all. I just needed to get that out. Now I feel better.

What protein drinks have you tried have you tried the Protein Nectar.....It's just like drinking Iced Tea or Lemonade. You just mix it with 12 or 16 oz of water...

I'm a Nectar Lemon Tea fan. Thicker than tea but resembles tea. Love it! Kathy lap RNY 5/20/2005~ 5'7.75"~ 276/244/221/160? (consult/preop/curr/goal)

I've tried Nectar. I've tried Isopure. I've tried Spiru-tien. I can't claim to have tried them all. But I've tried enough to know that its unlikely I'm gonna find anything better. I cannot WAIT until I can have protein bars and stuff like that instead of these awful drinks. But, enough complaining. I'm slimming down and this is helping me do it. I'm sure you can all understand the need to just vent sometimes!

hi hon, have you tried protidiet? I got some samples at a support group and they remind me of a fruit drink, or kool-aid. I have invested about a 100.00 or more into this stuff. I do wish you good luck!!! BTW I will ask my surgeon about the protein drops that I saw introduced into my first meeting. Hugs

I agree with Tom. Where can you get Protein Nectar?

I get it online from vitalady.com - you can order a sample to try it before investing in bigger quantities. Kathy

Tom what kind are you drinking now? I have EAS Whey choc powder from Walmart. I mix 4oz with Carb Coutdown Skim milk. THe trick that I have learned is to let it sit for at least 10 min then it is no longer gritty and gross it is more like chocolate milk. I usually put an ice cube in it and leave it on the counter. It has 26gms of protein for just the 4oz. I know everyones tastes are different but I have found it reasonably palatable. Hope this helps Jen

TOM HAVE YOU TRIED PROTEIN DELITE ON BARIATRICEATING.COM I PROMISE YOU IF YOU GET IT YOU WON'T REGET IT. I BROUGHT EVERY PROTEIN SHAKE IN GNC SPENDING 245.00 TOTAL NO JOKE AND SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT PROTEIN DELITE AT THIS SITE. I ORDERED IT AND IT CAME THREE DAYS AGO AND IT IS SOOO GOOD WELL EXCELLENT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT I WILL PERSONALLY GIVE YOU 16.00 DOLLAR LESS SHIPPING..LOL..LOL LET THIS BE YOUR LAST TRY..ALL OF THEM ARE GOOD I GOT THE BANANA YOGART ONE BUT THEY SEND YOU SAMPLES OF ALL OF THEM. GOOD LUCK. TRACEY,N

You are soooooooooo allowed to vent! People can rave about all kinds of drinks they like but the fact is we all have different tastes before and after surgery right? Some people like liver and some hate it right? I'm with you on the protein drinks so I really try to get all my protein from food I eat. I don't do the applesauce, mashed potatoes, etc. often. I do drink a few glasses of 14 g/protein milk a day. That combined with my meals of chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, etc. get my protein up there. I eat 4 times a day. I tried the Nectar in two flavors **** tea....tasted like tea with meat powder) and the berry(mmm, berry juice with meat). GO figure! For me, I finally found 1 I can handle, Matrix 5.0. Again, we all love different things. Lots of people LOVE Nectar; I wish I could...no matter what I mix it with! You're right though. They should make in into a pill! That would be awesome. The good thing is when our pouches do grow to 4 or 6 oz in the future we'll get even more protein in. Good luck and keep up all the good work!
