Question:
Where do you buy Designer protein and does it taste good?
I'm trying to get in all the protein I can, cause some days I totally fail at this. Seems like all week long at work I can stick to the program but weekends throw me off kilter. I heard someone mention Designer protein and want to learn more about it. Also, any other protein suggestions. BUT tuna, chicken, turkey, other meats, I'm not ready for at months out. — blank first name B. (posted on December 30, 2001)

I buy Designer protein at GNC. 2.1 lb. can (1 month supply at 1 shake a
day) is $30 ($24 if you have a gold card that you can use the first week of
every month). It is the only protein powder that I liked. I mix mine with
1 cup of skim milk (25g of protein).

I use Carb Solutions; it is 4gms of carbohydrates and 20 gms of protein per
8 oz in the powder form and 120 calories. It also has 100% of many
nutrients and it tastes good. I lost 70 ppounds preop with this and still
use it now and am down 60 more #.

Carolyn, this so funny! I read this question and was about to answer you
with the fact that I hate Designer protein and that I really like ProBlend
55 Mocha Cappucino. Then I remembered I was out of Lactaid skim milk (I
use a splash of it in my shakes). So I left the net, went to the store and
got my milk. I never threw away the can of designer. I figured, well I
should try it again --it's been at least 4 months since I tried it and
didn't like it and tastes do change. So I just made a shake with 2 scoops
Designer Chocolate, 1 tbsp low fat peanut butter, 2 oz milk, 6 oz water,
crushed ice. This is one of the BEST SHAKES I've ever had! Oh and I added
a splash of sugar free calorie free chocolate syrup. Tastes like a Choc PB
shake! Very good. Good luck and God Bless! These protein shakes have
been my saviour when I crave something sweet.

Hi there, Kimberly is on to something! LOL It is so funny how things I
couldn't eat post op I can now eat almost a year out. I liked my Designer
Pro right from the start, but about 6 months out I developed a distaste for
it! Now I like it again- hmmmmmmm Funny how our bodies and tastes change? I
use the Chocolate with a banana, and crushed ice. But I am going to try it
with peanut butter too- sounds good!

My doctor recommends ProComplex. Sold at GNC (if you join their card club
- you get 20% off the first week of the month). Comes in chocolate and
vanilla. Mixes really easily ... I drink mine with water and ice. 60
grams of protein - hardly any fats or carbs. Love it! Drink it every day
in addition to getting plenty of protein in through food. I consider it my
"protein insurance." Best of luck to you. Open RNY 7/17/01.

As you've noticed, taste is an individual thing. I love DP. Early post-op
I drank it mixed with water or diet soda. At about 6 months, I switched to
mixing it with milk. I never buy mine at GNC - way too expensive! Because
both my husband and I drink a shake a day, we buy it in 2-lb cans, from
either www.vitalady.com or www.netrition.com -Kate-

Designer Strawberry is the ONLY protein supplement I've been able to drink.
I've been drinking it mixed with crystal light strawberry for a year now.
<p> I buy it online at:
<p>http://www.juicers.net/desprotstraw.html <p> for only $19.95
per tub. That's $10 cheaper than GNC, and it's free shipping right to my
door when I order 2 tubs or more.

Vitalady (Michelle Curran) has a website that offers lots
of different kinds of proteins, vitamins, tips & tricks,
and lots more. Her site is: http://www.vitalady.com/
Prices are good and delivery is fast. I just received my
order of protein this week.

The only protein supplement that I like, and will drink, is called Designer
Protein Smoothie in AbBerry Sundae. It's a powder made with whey protein
and comes in individual envelopes. 8-10 ice cubes, the powder, water, and
half a banana in a blender and to me, it tastes as nice as anything I've
gotten at a juice bar. Better news still: it's only 180 calories, 13 grams
of carbs and a whopping 27 grams of protein. I got mine by doing a search
under the name in the Yahoo shopping area. All the best!

I am not into the protein drinks but I cannot live without the Designer
Protein Bars. I have one everyday fror breakfast and sometimes another if
I am really craving something bad! They are very chewy and have a great
consistency - they take awhile to eat and leave me very satisfied. My fav
flavors are Chocolate Absberry, Malted Milk Ball and Chocolate Espresso. I
get mine from www.netrition.com as they are about half of retail price and
no matter how much you order, you only pay $4.95 for shipping! They are
also VERY fast!!
