What Kind of Protein Drinks is good when I get to Drink them
Do you like Sugar Cookie Dough? At walmart, they have Carb Solutions in Vanilla and it tastes just like cookie dough. (It is in powdered form) It is pretty thick and even tho Angie Bea likes the taste, it still gags her. Doesn't gag me, but I can't drink very much of it....fills me up FAST! I also ordered a bunch of samples from Susan Maria (www. bariatriceating.com) and MOST of those were great! She does have a variety pack, but I just chose at random since I didn't like some of the flavors in the pack.

Whatever you do, don't buy a large supply of anything. Your tastes change quite often and what tastes good on Monday will gag you on Tuesday.
I usually just stick with the Low Carb SlimFast. Are they good? NO, but they do in a bind. I also drink the Blue Bunny smoothies. They are 13g of protein and really good but I still don't buy more than about 4 at a time.

Lisa,
my favorites are Matrix 5.0 vanilla ( search on internet for cheap deals ) and unjury vanilla ( unjury.com ). The unjury is my favorite over the two but its slightly more expensive. It's a toss up. Matrix is a big bag and lasts me a month, so therefore I started using that instead of the unjury, but flavorwise, unjury isnt so sweet and still deliciously vanilla-ey.
Best advice I can give, try to get samples of different ones. Arlies already touched on susan maria's site, there's also vitalady.com, you order samples by what you want, and if you like it, you can committ to the larger cans.
Pre op I loved one from GNC, but now I can't stomach the after taste, so be cautious, make sure its REALLY good and not just " okay" if you have to drink a whole huge canister full, you may not want to fini**** and you have GOT to get your protein in.
By the way I mix mine with skim milk, that's an extra 10 g of protein there per shake.
Neither of the shakes are terribly thick (and even better with a banana & ice cubes mixed in a blender ~ yummy) .
Take care~

Lisa; If you have a Smoothie King near by, go and get a drink called the "Glaidator" They make it with Banana's or Pineapples. I got mine in Pineapple. It has 45 grams in a 20oz drink. I like them so much, I bought the Vanilla mix they use to make them and I make them at home with different flavors. If you go there and by them they are $4.51 each, which adds up fast and the large tub is 44.99 and last a long time.
Enjoy!

I like the unflavored mixes. Unjury has a good unflavored. And u can get the unfavored at GNC. That way u mix it in whatever u like, like crystal-lite or what ever and you never run out of flavors. I make smoothies out of it with low carb ice cream and soy milk also, it's great. Just can't mix it in hot stuff. But I personally think the unflavored is the best way to go. It gives you more choices and u don't get bored.
