I just tried my first protein powder. Hubby stopped and picked up the GNC brand Whey Protein (21 g per serving). When I opened the bag, I got a wiff of formula smell. I have an extreme aversion to that smell! When my daughter was 9 months old, she got the flu really bad (she actually had to be hospitalized for 3 days for dehydration) and threw up formula for about a week and a half. All over me. All the time. The formula smell makes me what to chuck.
Also, I had no idea the scoop would be so HUGE. It's like a quarter of a cup! The nutritionist had told me I could mix it in with stuff, so I tried to mix it in with my little cup of applesauce. But there was so much of it, it turned into a sticky paste. I couldn't even bring myself to try it, just washed it down the sink!
So then I tried to mix it with a glass of V8. It mixed pretty well, but really changed the color of it. I took a quick sip, but it was horrible! I couldn't get past the smell.
Debi and Southern Belle - you are so right! That stuff is going back to the store!!
I really needed to be doing this stuff a few weeks ago. I had no idea it would be such a pain in the patooty to find something tolerable.
Has anyone had any luck with the PURE unflavored protein powder from Bariatriceating.com?

Have you tried the ready to drink Atkins protein shakes? They have 15g of protein and only 1 or 2 net carbs, they're not whey but rather soy, maybe those would be easier for you to tolerate?
