I've tried SEVERAL powders and RTD's. Here's a synopsis of the things I would ENJOY even without WLS:
Isopure's Orange Peach Smoothie (RTD)
About Time's Cinnamon Swirl and their chocolate powders
GNC's unflavored powder
Unjury's Chicken Soup
It would take forever to cover all of the different brands and products I've tried. I was lucky enough to get some free samples and also ordered sample packs when I could. Don't be mistaken that just because you enjoy one thing from a particular manufacturer that you will enjoy the others.
Take the time to search for sample packs and to ask anyone and everyone for free samples. I emailed numerous sellers and was surprised at the free items I got.
You might also want to try to get in touch with other WLS candidates/patients in your area to see if they will allow you to sample some of the things they already have. I make it a habit to share with a co-worker who is in the process of getting approved for WLS.
With regards to the RTD's, it's better to pay a few dollars for one and try it than to spend a few more dollars for a whole six-pack or case, even within the same product line from the same manufacturer. I LOVE Isopure's orange peach smoothie, but wasn't that crazy about the orange berry one. I didn't try the orange pomegranate as I'm not a pomegranate kind of girl :)
I could go on and on about the products I didn't like, but the products listed above are REALLY good, not just "tolerable".
