I know that getting in protein is essential to weight loss but I always seem to forget that when I have to drink a protein shake for each meal!!!  I heard so many good things about Nectar so I purchased it. I  have the fuzzy Navel and I hate it . Maybe I need to try a different flavor so I would rule Nectar all the way out. I wish there was some type of easy button for this . I don't want my hair to fall out so I guess I'll chug a lug. but YUCK! I f anyone out there have any suggestions please let me know I have to have at least 60 grams of protein a day!
Thanks,
Rita

I also hated the nectars that I tried. I really wanted to like them, but couldn't do it. My adivice is to get as many samples as possible. Go to GNC and buy single servings of Profect, PerfectWhey, Isopure (these are the clear drinks) and some of the shakes. Then order the sample packs from Chike and Bariatric Advantage. That way you can try a variety. I have personally found that I can tolerate the clear drinks cut with water - the perfectwhey are okay by themselves. The only shakes I really like are Chike brand,and even then really only the vanilla, but it is so individual that you really have to decide for yourself.  Meltingmama.net has a great page of reviews, too, so you can check there, too. With the vanilla chike, I have found a variety of ways to dress it up with extracts and sugar free syrups so I always have different flavors.

I have yet to find a flavor I like. I'm sticking w/ the unflavored ones and I'll mix w/ crystal light or jello, or broth.

Your taste is going to change the further you get out from surgery.  I figured out it was a waste of time to taste test before surgery because your taste buds react differently pre-op vs. post-op.  I'm glad I didn't spend a lot of money pre-op on protein. 

I hated everything sweet for the first few months post-op.  Now I love the Nectars.  The Cherry has a nice mild flavor.  I also like the Isopure Zero carb Vanilla that I thought was nasty right after surgery.  I even use the protein shots now that were down right nasty immediately post-op.  You will have to keep testing out flavors as time goes on.

A little birdie told me someone is not getting in her protein.   Do I have to make a trip to conyers and force it in?

BE A GOOD GIRL AND GET THAT PROTEIN IN!

I know it's hard, but you don't want to be bald and ugly do you? 

PROTEIN ! PROTEIN! PROTEIN!

I've found that the Gladiator brand of protein powder (used by Smoothie King) digests well and tastes OH SO GOOD.
