I'm getting ready to have Gastric Bypass surgery and I'm on a high protein (80-100g per day) low cal diet. I've never tried any of the protein supplements and would like some suggestions on some that taste good. Thanks.

    I just started eating Pure Protein peanut butter&chocolate bars. I like them and they have 20 grams of protein per bar, only 2 grams of sugar.

    I picked up some of the whey protein listed below this past weekend at WalMart and am really enjoying the taste.

    Everyone has wildly different tastes for the protein brands. Some vitamin stores sell one-serving pouches that you can buy to try. Sample them and discover your favorite, or at least the best of the bunch.

    This is a great suggestion, I purchased the Costco brand and am not too crazy about it, it is a huge bag, so it will take a while to consume
    One serving pouches are way better that way you get to sample and pick your favorite
    I am going to follow this advice

    Muscle Milk is really good and I hate protein shakes. It comes in a light formula too:)

    metrx brownies are SO good especially warmed up.

    I haven't had one for a while and not exactly sure on calories. But they have lots of protein. -- 30 grams

    I have absolutely HATED every single protein drink I've ever tried... until I found Lean Body by Labrada. The chocolate ice cream flavor is my favorite. They have 25g protein and no sugar or lactose. It is the only protein drink I've found that doesn't have that gross protein taste and texture. It comes in both powder form and single serve, ready-to-drink bottles which are really convenient. Highly recommend!!!

    Life's Basics Plant Protein in Chocolate and I mix it in vanilla flavored Almond milk with 4 ice cubes. Very good flavor.

    Are you supposed to eat those soy supplements, or high biologic value protein (meat, fish eggs)?

    You should try Trutein's CinnaBun. I like it a little more than Gaspari's. What I like about TruNutrition Sciences is that they disclose how much whey (40%), casein (40%) and eggs (20%) they use. You can order samples through their website:

    I haven't actually found a 'great tasting' one! Wish I could. :)
    Nutritional value trumps taste. I like NOW Foods whey protein isolate:

    ON Whey powder, extreme milk chocolate flavor. It's the only protein shake I've really liked been using it for well over a year and not sick of it yet.
