Hi, I do hate the way we all get different advice! Anyhoo! I have tried the protein works powder flavours cherry bakewell diet whey and the strawberry & cream powders and they are both way too sweet for me! I guess I might have to mix them 50:50 with the unflavoured powder to see if that helps. Why is it when people use sweetener (they use sucralose in these) they add far too much! They don't need to be sickly sweet! I will have to see how I cope with them after my surgery - my provider recommends one glass of protein shake or slimfast shake for breakfast and another glass in the evening! That is for weeks 1 & 2 - I haven't got week 3 diet sheet yet! I guess they give that out at the first appointment after the operation.
