i have looked thru the search engines and cant find anything on how we can get protein samples in bulk . i mean i dont want to go out and buy up all kinds of protein shakes and none of them settle well with me.
they are very expensive. does anyone know where i can just buy up some sample packs until i find which one works.. ?

Vitalady.com sells zillions of them

she's also truly one of the nicest and most helpful people I've interacted with on this website.

She's awesome in person too, as is her husband and her whole staff. She lives right up the hill from me, about 5 minutes away and has support groups in her house as well (or at least she used to). I doubt she remembers me because she must meet about a zillion people, but when I was newly post op and really confused about some iron issues I went to one of her support group meetings and she was incredibly helpful, as was everyone there.

They also do something neat with protein that you buy and end up not liking. They didn't give me my $ back and then dump it. What they do is give the protein to those who need it and truly can't afford it. I could care less about the money (although $ are always good and I'm by no means rich), but I was genuinely touched by these gestures and it made it very rewarding to bring all of those big tubs of protein that I bought and ended up not liking back up to their store - knowing someone who NEEDED it would get it.

Truly wonderful folks, through and through. Sadly such individuals are becoming a rarity in this day and age. I guess that's why I plug www.vitalady.com so much. Just don't have ANYTHING bad to say about them and I haven't heard anyone else say anything negative either. Ever.

Good luck finding what you're looking for.

PS: She also has reasonably priced samples of all the major brands and most flavors. And her sample sizes are NOT done in one scoop bags. She makes hers true servings (which are around 30grams) so her samples are invariably at least a scoop and a 1/2.

I got a sample kit from bariatriceating.com. It really is great. I'm 4 days out and just starting to try it out. If you have a few minutes to sit, I posted a video on my youtube vlog taking the whole package apart so that everyone can see what's inside. I also tried to read out ingredients, flavor, calories, sugar, fat and protein for anyone who needed those.
