Need Protein, without the sweet taste- HELP!

I have been trying different protein drinks - they all taste very sweet to me. I am almost at a point where I feel safer just drinking my skim milk on ice - three meals a day and call it a day. Not such a good idea, surely, however, THIN liquids seems to be the only thing that I enjoy. Skim Milk, orange juice (unsweetened), Crystal light, and I absolutely love water over ice. So, I'd rather drink than eat. I don't enjoy eating right now - a whole different person from the gal that could eat a foot long sub, bag of chips, and large drink and still not feel "full". I have found one unflavored Whey online - just a moment ago - from GNC - has anyone tried unflavored whey powders? When you mix it with milk or water - do you get a thick consistency? My two demons - sweet taste, and thick consistency! Any tips or advise are greatly appreciated. Though I am losing weight rapidly, I want it to be a healthy weight loss.

I am so with you on drinking skim milk with ice.... in the last 3 hours I have had 2 big glasses. Sometimes food just dosent sound good... LOL... So I go for my milk. As far as protein drinks go, I havent found any good ones, so I quit trying... (saving money now too... LOL) I cant take anything even the tiny amount sweet, even crystal light tastes too thick and sweet. I hope others give you some good protein advice, I just wanted to let you know that you wernt alone. Susan

I've use unjury unflavored with coffee and it's good. I also mix fuzzy navel Nectar with crystal light. You can try to add more liquid than called for to thin it down. Good luck.

Well, I went online and found the Unjury site. I ordered some of the sample packets so that I can find the right one for me - got a feeling that the unflavored one will work best. Thanks to you all, extended family. I tried talking to other people or input and advisement - I had better stick with my WLS family - if they haven't been there, they aren't much help in instances such as this. ~Melanie
