I alternated a powder protein and protein bullets. I would have a chocolate protein shake one day and the next day a fruit punch protein bullet (had to add water because the bullets are real thick and sweet) Keep trying different flavors but don't stock up because your taste buds may change after surgery, and what tastes good today may not taste so good later.

If you blend them with some crushed ice it covers the odd texture. I personally blend my powder with yogurt, peanut butter and put over ice. Protein packed and better cold.

thanks ladies for the advice

try isopure zero carb...it's like gatorade...my favs are blue, red, and purple...40 grams of protein :)

Eggface has protein ice cream recipes on her blog.

i just founf lean shake ay GNC it is great. It comes in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. All are great. you can buy is already made or in powder form. I bought already made 25 grams of protein, 170 calories 24 vitamins 2 grams sugar. give it a try

One thing I learned from the GNC store/fella is that if you buy something and don't like it, they have a no questions asked return policy.

I was saying to him, but what if I buy that big container and then don't like it... And that's what he told me!

I have a friend that freezes it and she say that is the only way she eats them...that helps to get it down.. Good luck. debby

I also purchased the Lean Shake from GNC! The chocolate is pretty good. The best shake I have purchased thus far. I have a great deal of Unjury chicken soup and strawberry sorbet to give away if anyone is interested. No charge. Let me know.

I use GNC Wheybolic 60 shake, it has 30 gr protein per 6oz shake it is 40 calories more per shake and more sodium than the Lean Shake however it has less sugars, fat, carbs, sodium.
it works great for getting my minimum 60 gm protein per day and is a great recovery shake for working out.

it's real smooth when shaken the chocolate is great!

I use the GNC lean shake swiss chocolate. Before surgery I used to mix my own shakes using the powdered syntrax nectar chocolate truffle but after surgery I could not tolerate it. Sent through a bunch of brands and flavors and finally settled on the GNC lean shake. Plus I have a GNC gold card where I get 20% off every day and the shakes are almost always buy one get one half off.

A key to tolerating any of the shakes powdered or pre mixed (at least for me) was to make sure they are as cold as possible.

I buy my protein at the Vitamin Store
Met RX Protein Plus 51 grams of protein, in a 16 oz can, under 300 cals and full of vitamins.
I also buy the protein pudding 30 grams in chocolate and vanilla
Isopure, liquid whey protein 40 grams, grape Ice, orange, and fruit punch, its like a snapple, I have it over crushed ice,. It lost 100 lbs in 6 months using this and Met rx protein plus. the ready to drink convenience helped me to never go a day without 60 grams of protein.
I also eat pintos and cheese from taco bell for a treat. full of fiber, protein and tastes great.

Isopure zero carb has become my go to. I too have a texture issue. The grape, orange pineapple, and lemon green tea flavors are my favorite.

Thanks everyone! I found a strawberry one from JD Robb that Iiked today....woo hoo....I think I am going to be a juice kinda girl....
