Ok, I don't have a fortune to spend on trying all the different brands and types of protein so I polled the posts on here and went with Premiere Choc. Powder. No matter how mix it, thick or thin, it still has the consistency of a good slimy hocker. I swear I'm drinking a glass of spit! I'm only 11 days out so trying to mix the powder with say pudding or even cream of wheat would expand it to the point I couldn't eat it all..... Does anyone have any ideas what I can do with it and what I might try when this is gone? I've headr good things about Carnation instant breakfast but couldn't find the sugar free ANYWHERE....

my doc wants his patients to use Bariatric Essentials - you have to buy it through his website - so I haven't tried any other types. (with the exception of unflavored unjury - which was gross).

Are you mixing yours with water or milk? I find that if I use water with mine, the consistency is different.

If I remember correctly the SF carnation instant breakfast only has 5 grams of protein, so you wont get much in the way of protein from that. There are several online places that will sell sample packets of protein for about $3 maybe you could get some samples and see if you find something you can tolerate better. My go to protein powder is GNC Pro Performance 100% Whey powder or the Gold Standard 100% Whey powder, it's not chalky and mixes up real well in milk and to me it has a really good taste. Good luck on your quest to find some protein I know it's something a lot of folks struggle with.

Been doing it with water but trying it with milk today, it came out supper thick almost like pudding so I stuck it in the freezer for a few hrs to see if it comes out like ice cream and then I'll try it......

I get my protein "shake" from starbucks. I get a vent skinny decaf latte (any skinny sf flavor) with two scoops of protein steamed with the milk. So far as I can tell from the nutritional info for starbucks it's got 35g. And it's not gross. It has saved me. Good luck!!!

I use designer whey protein mixed with skim milk and it is very good Good luck to you

Ooh..that sounds nyummy...do they mix in the protein powder wth the drink?

I remember that complaint. I said it. Once you're able to eat more and use less protein shakes it'll be better. I only drink 1 shake a day. And I use a little more milk so it's not as thick. Good luck with this. It will get better.

I have Bariatric Advantage unflavored protein. One scope is 27 gram protien. I use cystal light and make it thick as a milkshake. Sometimes with half a banana or strawberrys or coconut flavoring.

Unjury is my favorite by far. I tried a few and it's really the only one I can tolerate!
