I like Carb Solutions (about $9.00/can at Wal-Mart). I buy the chocolate
and add a teaspoon of low fat peanut butter.

I agree with the carb solutions chocolate from walmart. Try adding a little
bit of cool whip fat free to your protein shake. I think it makes it taste
much better. Good luck.{{{HUGS}}}

I like "Just Whey" by Sport Pharma. It has no lactose, no no
aspartame, and only 1GM carbs per serving. I order it online from DPS
nutrition. (www.dpsnutrition.com). They are one of the cheapest outlets for
supplements, etc. I've found them to be extremely reliable.

The trouble for me was finding one that had a taste I could enjoy or at the
very least, tolerate. I have narrowed it down to only one that I can drink
every day and not begin to gag on after a few days. I drink ProBlend 55
Swiss Chocolate flavor. I buy it at GNC for $32.00 a container. A
container lasts me one month if I drink one shake a day. The container
directions say use 2 scoops with 8oz milk or water for 52g protein so I cut
this in half, use 1 scoop with 4oz water for 27g protein and get the rest
of my daily protein from food sources. This makes my container last for 30
days. That's about $1 per day, which I find affordable. And the flavor of
the chocolate is great! I drink one on the way to work or school every
morning.
For taste and value I think it's a good deal. Also, you can find this
brand cheaper online. Just do a search for ProBlend 55 in any search
engine and you'll get dozens of online marketers selling it at a variety of
prices.
Good Luck finding one that's right for you!

I agree with ProBlend 55. I'm almost 18 post-op & have used it from the
beginning. My fav is Strawberry Twist. I haven't been using it for the pass
4 months, but I just went yesterday & picked up a container. I've
noticed that since I haven't been drinking it my weight loss has been at a
standstill.I also use 1sc but to 8 ounces of water. Sometimes I throw in
some friut or yogurt for a smoothie. I tried carbsolutions but to me it was
to thick & chalky. I buy it at a local health food store for $25.00. It
usually last 1 month if I have 1 shake a day. Good luck

Hi there :) I know GNC isn't the least expensive place on earth, but it
does offer some pretty good deals if you are willing to bargain with them.
I walked into my local GNC and basically told them that they were looking
at a long term customer, and I expect a deal. They gave me one of those
huge jugs of Isopure powder (dutch chocolate is pretty good) for $40 ($10
off reg. price). He said he'd give me the same deal from now on, plus other
stuff at discount. Give it a try :)

Depends on what you consider a fortune! I bought a huge cannister of the
Isopure zero carb vanilla powder at Vitamin Shoppes-round $36.00 if I can
recall. The first few months I had a shake a day (1 scoop), from 3 months
on, I have 3 or 4 shakes a week-and I still have 1/4 of the cannister left!

I love Trader Joe's Chocolate Whey Protein powder! A one pound can costs
$7.99. A WLS buddy taught me to blend one scoop with 1 cup of skim milk,
some decaf coffee and ice cubes. Tastes like a frappucino!

Hello dear hearts I found this perfect protein powder from Vitamin World,
it's called Premium Soy Protein Isolate Powder. It's 13.99 20oz, and it
taste good. I tried it first without adding any fruit and it's good, it's
even better with fruit. I pray this helps. God bless each of you.
