I developed a severe adversion to protein shakes post op. I hate hem all. That said, I make myself smoothies with 2 servings of greek yougurt (14 grams of protein each) frozen berries, fat free soy milk, and a splish of vitamin water. It is not very sweet to taste (though be careful if you dump because the yogurt and berries, plsu the souy milk contain sugar).
I to have just started back. i ahd my surgery 4/2007 and need to get back on track. i have put 25 lbs on in 3 yrs and hate it. I love the TOTAL LEAN shakes from GNC. I buy the ready to drink bottles. Today I wnt and bought 4 cases. Each case has 12 drinks in it. It cost me $80.00 for 4 cases which is not bad at all considering you get 48 drinks... The chocolate is 14 oz and has 170 calories, 25 gm protein and only 6 carbs.
The best advice I got pre-op was to purchase 2 single-serve packets of any protein powder that looked remotely tasty.
After surgery, work my way through the stack, putting anything I liked into a "yes" pile, and anything I didn't into a "no" pile. After finishing the first set of packets, repeat with the second set. When I was all done, look at the piles. Anything with 2 "yes" votes I should consider buying a tub. Anything with 2 "no" votes I should stay away from.
I wound up with several good options, and can say at this point that I still look forward to my shakes - even 2 1/2 years out.

Beside Click...I love coffee...I like BSN Synthra 6 strawberry milkshake...all of the BSN Lean Dessert protein shakes...esp. whipped cream and chocolate fudge and I really like Matrix mint cookie or bananas and cream. I usually buy mine on netrition.com for usually less than $20 a container. I am almost five years out and still have one a day.
Good luck :)
