You may wish to try Unjury protein ... it's so mild and easy to digest. Sample packs areavailable. Chocolate, vanilla, unflavored (great for boosting other foods), and strawberry. It's the most mild I've used so far. http://www.unjury.com
Also, I'm using the Protica tubes (plastic test tube) of protein simply because it's over so fast. Each tube is only 2.5 oz but packs a whopping 25 grams of protein and is fat and sugar free. It has the consistency of un-set jello -- like a jello liquid without any booze in it, for you young enough to know what a jello shot is. I'm done with a protein "drink" in 2.5 oz instead of a whole glass. It looks like, but doesn't taste like, Isopure, which I think is the most evil liquid ever put on the market. Protica doesn't have that mangey dog fur taste.
It's online, but I found a site with a coupon code for 15% off. Go to http://www.spaindex.com (spa index) and click on "Cuisine" on the home page. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the cuisine page for a few bariatric recipes and a banner/link for the protein tubes, with a 15% off code, if you'd like to try a sampler pack of 4 tubes.
Good luck, everyone.
Kate,
I ordered the tubes and they are really good. My only question is when do you drink them? They say that you should eat it with food or a snack. Do you? I would rather not - but I will if I have to.
Thanks for telling me about the tubes. I think with one of those a day I will be getting enough protien....I hope atleast!
What are we supposed to get - 40-50 grams of protien - or is it 60?

I don't take them with food...I just slug one back in the morning with vitamins, actually. That way, all the nasties of the day are taken care of. I get enough protein from other sources, but this "boost in a tube" makes SURE I keep my count up there ... 50 or higher, per my surgeon. Glad the tip worked for you. If you use that link, you can get the 15% off with every single order.
