Drank good protein shake last night...
I made up my own protein shake last night and I must say..... It was delicious!! I don't know the exact measurement of everything, but it contained the following:
approximately one cup of ff milk (9 grams of protein),
a few spoons of chocolate mint sug free icecream,
one spoon of Any Whey Tasteless Protein (17 grams protein), and
several ice cubes.
It made one 16 oz. solo cup full. It had 26 grams of protein and it was very tastey!!

Hi, Jules! It was definately the best thing I've drank in awhile! It was a definate treat. However, I wasn't thinking. I used skim milk, which has 13 grams of sugars and has carbs too. It didn't make me sick, but I really don't need the sugars or carbs. Next time I will try the Fat Free Carb Countdown milk. It will be just as good, maybe better!!!

I have been able to tolerate only one brand of protein shake: Extreme Smoothie by Van Horn Technologies (VHT). I mix half a can of the chocolate with half a can of vanilla. It tastes just like chocolate milk, no after taste. It has 35 grams of protein. Available from the Vitamin Shoppe.
Has saved my life as NOTHING tastes good, and I am living on cottage cheese, plain yoghurt and goat cheese. A lovely white diet! I am in my 7th week after RNY. Any other ideas? Will I ever get an appetite back?
