ive tried special K and nestle. special K had soy in it and i didnt quite care for it. the dietican i dont like reccommended unjury unflavored but it contains soy too. what can you add the powdered milk to? and has anyone tried the vitamin shoppe flavors - lemonade, fuzzy navel, etc? i am so picky and dont want to spend 35 dollars on a container and not like it. i know i could try gnc and take it back if i dont like it but i think ours only has chocolate and vanilla and im really interested to try strawberry or something. i see lots of options that i could try but not all of them have a high protein count. any tips or advice? they are ordering me to find a second protein shake thats on my list (but unjurt wasnt so maybe i can pick anything) and i understand my tastes might change but i am desperate for them not to! lol

need to loose 2 lbs to get back to my weight at the time of my last visit and i have til dec 28th to do it. i always do a protein diet with 2 shakes a day a week before the appointment and sometimes lose 1 lb a day that way but not always. i am fighting so hard to get to 299 and its such a battle. gone are the days of loosing 13-35 lbs a month.

I like the  super whey protein shots from walmart.  the are fruity taste and have 26 gms of protein.  they are by body fortress.  usually cost 1.97 each.  I put it in a little water and it taste great.
Hope this helps.   annie

Make sure whatever protein you choose is low in sugars and carbs. I like the berry flavored one from my nutrition store, but cannot for the life of me remember the brand it is.. sorry!

I use the walmart body fortress advanced,. $21 a container.. it is 60G of protein on front, with 1 scoops is 30G, some use 2 scoops to get the boost.. but I use vanilla creme and add instant coffee to it with skim milk. I also added orange flavor packet to it, as suggested by patrece :) and it tasted tolerable.. I also added powder baking choc.. its no sugar..and just a lil to give choc taste... You can also go in wal mart and buy the sugar free syrups or online and add.. I think the vanilla is very versitile and easy for me.. I also add the powder to choc sugar free pudding.. Also I tried the unjury unflavored ..sorry but to me it has a flavor like powedered milk and YUCK.. I tasted it in everything.. not for me.. if you can get samples from GNC try it before commiting to a full container.. and bariatric advantage online will send you free samples I beleive.. or is the other site.., LOL.. sorry my memory is slow today... but do not give up or get dicouraged.. hang in there.. Good Luck and hope this helped :)
