Any body here in any studies?

 I was asked to be part of a protein drink study at our hospital.  So far the only good thing about it is the free protein drinks. I not like 1 of the three I've been asked to try, but it's all for the greater good!

Are you able to do different things to them to improve the taste?  I'm guessing everyone needs to make them with water or everyone needs to make them with milk or whatever, so they are basically the same.  But can you do things like add a spoonful of instant decaf coffee to them, or add sugar free flavored syrups, stuff like that?

What is it that's being studied?

I'm not in a study but was part of one when I had surgery. It was for research on why some WLS patients have diabetes and others do not and wanted volunteers who would consent to tissue samples removed during surgery to be studied.

 It's actually a pre market study for new protein drinks. 

You can do whatever you like to them, then when the study is over there will be a meeting to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly before they decide to make them.
