I would talk to the "Vita Lady" Michelle <a href="http://vitalady.com/">VitaLady.com</a> about the samples she offers. I am planning on ordering an assortment to try post op as tastes change (or so I am told) this way I can find some that I can use.

Hi. My son got some for me made by EAS...it's called Myoplex Lite. It has 180-190 calories, 2-3 grams of sugar and 25 grams of protein. He got the tropical fruit pack which has orange jubilee, banana cream pie, peaches and cream and pina colada flavors. They're really quite good. He purchased them from the gym he goes to but said that we could also purchase them from GNC. I plan on getting more as soon as I can in just the vanilla and/or chocolate. They even include a "recipe" sheet to make several other flavors like "key lime pie" and "strawberry shortcake" (all made very low-cal of course. Good luck and God bless. cj

I buy a cherry flavored protein made by Challenge. They sell it one bottle for $20 or 2 bottles for $30. I mix it with Crystal Light. I would not buy a whole lot of protein pre-op because what tastes good now might drastically change after the surgery. By all means experiment though. If you belong to a support group, you may even want to ask members to bring in samples of what they use. Save your receipts! GNC has a policy that even if you open a product and don't like it, you can return it - but only if you have the receipt.
