I'll tell you what I LOVE, and that is a combo half and half of Proscore 100 Chocolate and Pure Whey Stack Chocolate. I love that with a bit of splenda and ice. Vitalady taught me that combo, and it's my favorite...I never get sick of it. It's a really nice chocolate flavor.
Just thought I'd share.

Topic: RE: protein drinks
Hi Mary!
I've tried some of the protein samples off that website, too. Pretty good deal, at least you won't get stuck with something you don't like later on. I loved the coffee flavored ones, but on the other hand, that raspberry delight one.. yikes, I was not able to get that one down. Everyone's got different tastebuds, and I 've fully switched to plain and vanilla unjury now, and all that not so much for the flavor ( don't get me wrong, I really like the vanilla ) but more for the aftertasted. The other protein shakes I've tried were tasty but the aftertaste was killing me.
I'd really recommend to taste anything before getting a huge can.
I am glad I did the samples, because I can't even really stand the nectar brand either that everyone raves about..
Guess I got spoiled post-op and my tastebuds are very picky

Preop weight June '04 : 206
Open RNY 6/23/04
current wt: 262 - 44 lbs
total loss since March :72 lbs
YEAH!!!
walking at least once a day, sometimes twice , 1-2 miles depending on weather conditions/ gazelle every day at least 15 minutes
hair loss: THANK goodness I have enough.. but it needs to stop soon
80 oz water, no problems with any foods ( not brave enough to even try sugar, though
)

Topic: protein drinks
Hi Junebugs! Anyone try the protein drinks from the vitalady website??
I went in and ordered a bunch of samples. They are packed with protein most 30 grams or more. They have ton's of flavors that you can order samples of to try so your not stuck with this big can of yucky protein powder to chuck out. I have found lot's of good flavors and will order again from her.
If anyone want's to check it out the web site is : vitalady.com
check it out.
the samples are only $1.99 a piece and the vanilla/pinnapple is really good.
As is the Raspberry delight!!
thought I would share if anyone is interested in more protein. or are having problems getting your protein amounts you need.
