Hi, just thought you might want to look on vitalady.com, she and her husband both had WLS, and now she sells all the brands of protein on her site.

I HAVE TO SHARE A PROTEIN DRINK THAT I LOVE AND IT HAS TAKEN ME A OVER A YEAR TO FIND IT - IT IS CALLED ISOPURE - IT IS A JUICY TYPE OF PROTEIN DRINK NOT A SHAKE - I HAD APPLE MELON TODAY IT WAS YUMMY - 190 CALORIES AND 40G OF PROTEIN FOR A 20 OZ BOTTLE....I FOUND IT AT WAREHOUSE VITAMIN - I THINK YOU CAN FIND IT OTHER PLACES AS WELL.

What ever you do, try and find sample packages, because you will try some that you just can't stand. I bought Designer Whey at GNC and could not even drink 2 sips....I am still using what the doctor told me to for the first 6 weeks, Carniation instant breakfast NO SUGAR ADDED with skim milk - it gives about 18-20 grams of protein for 1 and 1/2 cups. I have heard that your body can only handle 25 grams at a time anyway....so don't waste your money on something with more than 25 grams of protein per serving. Sharon 6 weeks -38 pounds

Hi, I am almost 9 months out, and I have recently started using, CARB SOLUTIONS. It has 12 grams of fat ( I don't care to much for that) 20 grams of protein. And I think it is delicious. OPEN RNY -103 lbs 10/4/01 BTC of OH.

I ordered a bunch of the samples that vitalady sells after I spent $30 on Designer Whey Vanilla Praline and absolutely hated it. I tried each one on different days and settled on Isopure Zero Carb Dutch Chocolate.

Hi, just wanted to toss in my 2 cents worth. I agree with Amy, who answered first.. http://www.vitalady.com is THE BEST place to check things out and order samples. There are two schools on protein.. the Whey and the Soy. Most people prefer one over the other. Designer Protein is whey based..when I first tried it I about gagged. But since surgery my tastes have changed and I love the chocolate one now! Anywho, Vitalady sells samples.. order up a bunch of different flavors, then try them one at at time and keep track of what you like and what you don't. I recall the Pro Lab banana as being tasty too. I wish you the best of luck in finding a protein you like. ~Peace
