Sweetners in protein drinks

Does anyone else have problems with the sweetners used in

protein

drinks? I have tried a few different types since a

co-worker works

part-time at GNC- I have noticed that even if I can stand

the taste

of the drink I get a horrible headache within ten minutes of

drinking

a few ounces. I am pre-wls and trying to find just the

right protein

drink before I have to start drinking them. I am used to

using

Splenda for sweetned tea and lemonade. I don't know that

it is the

sweetner or the protein itself. Any suggestions? Yes, I

know

vitalady has great protein drinks, I need to get myself to

her site

and order some samples. I hate chocolate protein drinks so

I am

looking for different flavors. By the way, I tried the

Whey Protein

Blast drink that is supposed to be like Gatorade. It isn't

horrible, but is really thick and very tart- I had kiwi

strong-

berry. I tried watering it down but think I will keep

looking for

other alternatives. I really hoped there was an alternative

to " shakes " .

Have you tried zero carb Isopure drinks? They come in 20 oz. glass bottles,

fruit flavors, and 40 grams of protein in each drink. They are tart, but not

thick, more like gatorade. Ask your friend at GNC to see if they carry them or

can special order them for you. My GNC special orders them for me. They are

pricey, like $3.50 a bottle, but I like them every now and again as an

alternative to the chocolate shakes. Good luck.

If our tastes change after WLS, would it be best to wait until after surgery

to order and try the trial sizes I get from Vitalady?

It might be good to have samples ready to use when you get

home.... make little half- or quarter-portion drinks.

My tastes never changed. I think it's better to try some before if you can.
