What brand of protein do you use?
Isopure Cookies n' Cream - 50g of protein in 2 scoops. I make it with 12 oz of Mootopia skim milk which is 12g protein in 8oz. So that gets me around 62g protein in one shake. Of course it takes me about an hour to sip on it but I just put ice cubes in it to keep it cold.
What kinds do you use? Does it taste good or do you just tolerate it? Inquiring minds want to know!!!
2 weeks out and today I woke up refreshed and felt good!
I use
- Diet Health and Sports WISE Brand

in my coffee each morning. Has 15 grams of protein. I mix it with half coffee/half steamed milk so the milk adds in another 7 grams of protein, total of 22 grams. I get it at www.mydietshopz.com. They have other bariatric friendly items as well.
I also like the Syntrax Nectar Choc Truffle, Cappuccino and Fuzzy Navel.
The Fuzzy Navel I make a shake out of.
1 scoop Fuzzy Navel
1 Yoplait Light Yogurt Apricot/Mango flavor
a few frozen peach slices
fill up the yogurt container with milk (about 4 ounces)
and toss in a bunch of ice and blend.(I like lots of ice)
It's pretty good, it makes a bunch, but I can sip sip sip that all evening. Last night it lasted 2 hours.
I've also used the Cappuccino to make protein ice cream and added Smuckers sugar free ice cream topping so it tastes like a Carmel Macchiato(sp??).
My favorite has been the Inspire Peanut Butter Cookie flavor. But it's very thick and I'm sick of drinking thick shakes.
My favorite unflavored is Inspire Pure.
I've been using Body Fortress strawberry & vanilla a lot. I love that it's so cheap.
Champion Whey Stack Banana Scream and Cookies n Cream were good.
I don't like the Syntrax Nectar unless I hide it in Crystal Light. 1 scoop of Twisted Cherry Nectar, 1 packet of Cherry Pomegranate Crystal Light and 16oz of water makes a pretty tasty drink.
I got some samples of BSN Lean Desserts. So far they've been ok. You can't really taste the protein, but they get really thick and kind of have a slimy consistency. The flavoring is really mild too.

I have a ready to drink protein shake first thing in the morning to get me going for the day. I can usually only drink half of one. In the afternoon it's protein ice cream with the powdered stuff as I'm tired of drinking shakes.
Remember though that your body can only absorb 30g i believe in an 8 oz shake.
