Hi  everyone.    I have been really busy lately and have not been able to come online nearly as much as I would like to.   I couldn't help but notice that Prissy found something "chocolate" that is a good source of protein.   I am interested in hearing more about this if you find time. I went for my 3 mo follow up post op appt last week and all of my bloodwork came back great.  My white blood cells are down a tad, but was told to keep my protein up and that should be of help.   I am off blood pressure meds now also.  WOOHOO!!!! lol   I feel wonderful!   I have gone from 217 to 165!  Unreal!   I was shocked that my protein levels came back within normal range as if you remember, I have had a terrible time with EVERYTHING that I have tried.   I have gone through cases of "bullets" but sorta have gotten burned out.  I tried to drink half of one at a time and chase it with water........yuck!   I mixed it with crystal lite fruit punch and YUCK!   I have switched to 100% new whey milk chocolate powder into white 1% milk and YUCK!.   I do not think I am getting in enough protein yet with my meals so I am in need still of "finding" the right one to keep on hand for those days or weeks that I tend to still struggle.   Please keep me posted ...... P.s   We went on vacation for a week at the Ocean........I came back with a 5 lb loss!!!!   Thanks again!

Hi there...these apparently won't be available until Fall, but I found "Muscle Milk" protein drinks and they have several flavors...chocolate included. They sell a few flavors at my local Safeway and even more at the Vitamin Shoppe.... I'm so with you on teh bullets....I have a whole case and just can't seem to bring myself to use them anymore....burnt out on them.

Thank you Christina for your info.   We no longer have any Safeways around us here in Maryland or at least none within an hour and a half ride!   I will check into other grocery stores to see if I can locate.   I wish there was a pill to take for protein verses the drinking.......lol.    I know that it is an individual taste on these but you would think as many people that must take these supplements that there would be "something" out there that is REALLY REALLY TASTY!!!!    I went with the idea that since the bullets are 42 gr of protein, that it would be so easy to get them and have the amount needed for the day along with my meals.    It just doesn't work. On the other hand, I have been making this tuna salad since I am not a big fan of that neither, taking fat free cream cheese(8oz) and using mixer to mix that with a 8oz can drained tuna and a tsp of worcheshire and a little milk for creamier consistancy and if preferred, onion and celery in this too..........It is really delicious!    Just thought I would share this with anyone that may be looking for something different.    It is just like a creamy dip so can put it on celery or crackers....... Have a great day!!!!

Congrats on the weight loss!!  That is wonderful!!! I use the achieveone caffine.  I actually tried it yesterday for the first time.  I have the vanilla nut flavor.  Whew!!  It was so sweet.  But not that bad.  I have tried the bullets.  Profect has the 50g one.  I could not stand it. It was like drinking thick syrup and nasty!!  Plus I don't think it was working for me at all.  Every person is different, but I am sold on Nectar.  It is like drinking juice. I think Kiwi straberry is the best flavor so far.  I know Vitalady sells samples of Nectar on her website.  You may want to try that and see how you like them. I find them at the Vitamin Shoppe.  They aslo have muscle milk there as well!  Good Luck!

Thank you Melissa.    I will be going to the vitalady website to check on this.   I have been really slacking since the middle of June when we went on vacation with the protein.   I need to consume at least 50 gr a day and most days I am up to around 45 and some not even that far.   My bloodwork came back perfect so I sure don't want now at almost 4 months to mess that up.   I will certainly try for the nectar products since I like "fruits".    Thank you again.......wishing you continued success on "OUR" losers bench!!!!!

I have just ordered samples from Vitalady.   I am greatly looking forward in those being tasty!   Thanks again for the info on this.   I will let you know how it goes once I receive them.   Do you mix yours with just ice and water?   I am excited to find something better tasting and not milky products.  Yuck!!! lol.    Thanks again.   I appreciate your feedback.

I hope you like them.  I personally really enjoy them and they are not as heavy as the milky products.  I do mix them with water and ice.  I have one of those blender bottles.  They say to mix with 8-16 oz of water.  I usually do the 16 oz.  It helps me maximize my liquid intake.  Once it is shaken, I add my ice.  I hope you like them!  I sure do!
