I have tried a lot even the ones they use at my groups. and the one the dr. recommended they make me really sick. I throw up. so I know I'm not getting enough protein in, I have not tried vitalady and frankly don't want to waste my money if I can't handle them. I know she sells sample's. can any one help?

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 Hi There, I believe the shakes that you have been trying have sugar and/or milk in them. which is probably why they make you sick. :-) I really would suggest going to <A HREF= " www.vitalady.com " >www.vitalady.com</A> or another website and order samples. You won't be putting out a whole bunch of money and you can find one that you will love. B distal rny 12/27/95 275/155 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 , what have you tried? I'm not sure how we can help, you've got to do it yourself. We can't determine what your taste is, the only way to do that is to sample various protein drinks and find the one you like. You're going to have to spend some money, regardless. Samples can be ordered from vitalady.com, yes, and they come in a single serving size. You could take a sample and make up half of it with 2-3 oz of water to see how you like it with straight water, and then you would have the other half to sorta experiment with - like adding some flavoring or something. - like a strawberry, or some peanut butter. As the entire list knows, (I've said it often enough <G>) the Proscore 100 choc and all 3 whey stack flavors seem to taste the best for me. Others prefer other flavors. Any of the proteins vitalady sells are the kind we need to take. I've heard people rave about the PV60 Vanilla, the PB55 Mocha Cappuciono, I think Jeanne, my angel, prefers the Pro Complex flavors because they're not quite as sweet as the others. Good luck! Yes, you do need your protein.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 - I'm assuming the ones you've tried are chocolate and vanilla flavored? Did you mix with water? Maybe it was milk making you sick. There is a fruit flavored protein drink that comes ready to drink in glass bottles. It's called Isopure zero carb protein drinks. One 20 oz. bottle has 40 grams of protein. These are kinda like drinking gatorade. At first, I didn't like the film that the protein left in my mouth, but I got used to it. But, they are expensive. I pay $3.50 a bottle, and my GNC special orders them for me. I like my chocolate protein, so I use the Isopure as a change of pace. Give it a try. You will feel better with some good quality protein in you. I do also recommend getting some samples from Vitalady. I've heard many say that they can't stand the protein they've tried on their own, but they find one they love from Vitalady. It's not a waste of money to find good quality protein. Take care.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 hi Jeannie I have tried the isosure drink I had the punch and it was to sweet. I have tried strawberry, chocolate, vanilla in water, water and ice, milk with them. Some are really sweet and some are just bad. thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 What is your personal favorite flavor in general? Chocolate, strawberry, vanilla?? For me personally, I like the following Proscore 100 Choloclate Pro Blend 55 Chocolate and strawberry Sci Fit Why Icecream strawberry Whey stack Chocolate and strawberry (I like to mix them half and half.) All of these, except the Proscore 100 mixes easily in water. If you like nestle strawberry quick, then you will like the why stack Strawberry. If you prefer a less sweet taste, then tie Sci Fit is great. We all have our favorites, and it is like finding that special someone to spend eternity with........ you gotta try a bunch before you find the right one for you. I tried many......... lots......... lots........

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 My opinion is that Vitalady's protein is better than these that you've tried. Jeanne in WI Age 39 Open RNY 05/21/2002 314/ 241/150-175 5' 8 " djgraves@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2002 Report Share Posted November 13, 2002 OK, well then I'm gonna recommend that you try ProComplex chocolate or vanilla. It is not as sweet as some of the others, and that is why I like it. Get you some samples and keep on tryin'.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2002 Report Share Posted November 15, 2002 I' ve been thinking about these. These are all miserable (and one brand is here--the canned ones). You might wanna try something less, um, PUSHY, in texture & flavor? m Re: Re: [GBICcan't drink protein drinks these our the ones i have tried 1. ultra pure protein shake in, frosty choclate,vanilla,strawberry 2.hmr120 in vanilla and chocolate. 3.carnation-vanilla,chocolate. 4. protein plus in chocolate, vanilla butter cream, strawberry. 5.myoplex in choclate,strawberry,vanilla number 2 and 3 are the ones my dr. said to try.
