HI everyone and glad I found this group.  I have a question about maintance after gastic bypss.  Is anyone using a protein powder that they like?  Most are too gitty and have such a bad taste.  I have not been able to loose the last pounds needed to reach my goal (we all know those are the hardest to loose) Thanks.

I use several thing to keep from having the same thing all the time.
Slimfast low carb... I am lazy it has vitamins low in sugar and 20 grams of protein.
I like designer whey chocolate because I can take a scoop of it add it to package of diet swiss miss, warm water a little whip cream and cinnamon and I am good to go.
I also like unjury unflavored, cause I can add a scoop to yogurt and other things it makes great smoothies and it is not gritty.
the ice tea by syntax (nectar) is good too.

Thanks for all your input! A friend recommend BioLean Proxtreme 

ProXtreme is a multi-protein formula containing a scientific blend of ion-exchange whey protein isolates, cross flow ultra filtration isolates, whey protein concentrates, hydrolyzed whey peptides, glutamine peptides and egg albumen. This combination of various protein sources provides 25 grams of protein per serving while only having 3 grams or less of carbohydrates. ProXtreme provides an ideal ratio of essential and non-essential amino acids in their most easily assimilated forms, while also providing high levels of the branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). To increase absorption and digestibility, the proteins in ProXtreme are enzymatically predigested. These proteins are further processed with whey protein to minimize protein cross-linking.

 

Enhance weight loss and aid weight maintenance , Increase metabolic rate via increased lean body mass and thermic effect of protein metabolism ,Increase ratio of lean muscle mass to total body mass, with proper exercise ,Provides enzyme support to prevent the normal process of ,
