I use pro whey protein powder by EPN. Their website is e-p-n.com To me it tastes like cold chocolate (as apposed to hot chocolate). I mix it with skim milk (I have used water too and it is good either way). It is 18 grams of protein (more if you use the milk) and like 2 carbs. They have chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. My cousin used the vanilla and strawberry. I don't like any vanilla shakes I've tried and the strawberry is too sweet for me. It doesn't get thick either. Nice to have in the a.m. or before bed. The calories are only 90 if you use water. I don't remember what with 1 cup of skim I think total cals. would be around 180 or so. Good luck to you. Let me know what ya try and like/dislike. All taste buds are different too remember. My friend really likes real meals and I can't stomach them. To each his own. happy losing ; )

I like the American Whey protein powder available at GNC stores. I always used to get the Creamy Vanilla because then I could mix it in other things. But I am hooked on one of the new flavors: Peach Cobbler. YUMMY!!!

I use Real Meals in chocolate and like it. It has 60 rams of protein per pouch. You can also get samples of it at www.realmeals.com .

I use ProScore 100 and Pure Whey Stack, both chocolate, both with water & ice. You can't improve upon perfection, I always say.

I LOVE! Pro-Blend 55's Mocha Cappichino. Yummy! I mix it with water and ice (tastes much better ice cold).

I use the Optimum Whey chocolate flavor. I mix it with water and ice and sometimes I throw in a half of a small banana for extra flavor. It is very good.

I also use Optimum Whey's 100% whey. I use both the double rich chocolate and the vanilla ice cream. I mix them in 10 ounces of milk (to get calcium). I don't dump on skim, but I started with Lactose free. However, my husband, who hasn't had the surgery, drinks them with water. My 7 year old sometimes drinks the chocolate, which I think speaks well of the flavor! Good luck! Beth (1/15/03, 222 down 21 lbs)
