Not sure on the sweet taste since it varies from one person to another but
Champion Whey Protein puts out a cookies and cream that tastes very good.
www.allstarhealth.com is where I ordered mine from.

You could try some turkey bacon or sausage?  I make a mexican scrambled egg with
a bit of meat, cheese, and salsa on top.
I LOVE the Cappachino (sp?) flavored Nectar that I special ordered from Vitamin
Shoppe.  It is very coffee flavor so I do a 1/2 scoop and 1/2 of chocolate
protein and add ice to almond milk and make a homemade frappachino!
I can almost pretend I'm at Starbucks.

You can get Isopure Pure Protein at Vitamin shoppe.  It has no taste, no fat, no
carbs.  You can add it to whatever you want.  Soups, drinks, etc.  I put it in
tomato soups and some other soups.  You can also add it to milk and ice and
flavor the drink with something with more of a mild taste.  If you get the
Nestle creamers for coffee, you can put a little of that in the shake.  1
tablespoon has 5 carbs.  I love the new Egg Nog flavor.

Also instead of using regular milk, you might try soy milk OR the almond milk -
the unsweetened only have 40 calories, lots of protein and less carbs than
regular milk.

If you want to try other flavors, flavor it with a portion of a crystal light
packet (not a full one!) or a small portion of sugar free jello mix.

I think the chocolate proteins are still too sweet, so I use the plain, add some
coco(the kind you cook w/that has no sugar, and a packet of splenda.

I also like the Nectar Lemonade flavor, it is a little sweet, but reminds me of
a cool lemonade.. add ice.

Desperate

I think each doc is different.  I was told to get at least 80 g protein daily;
and that the only way to do that was by adding protein drinks.  Maybe you are
just developing muscle instead of loosing fat since it sounds like you are
exercising alot.  Have you noticed a big difference in sizes?
They say the smaller you are starting, the slower you loose the weight, not sure
how much truth there is in that..but.

note, I went in taking 15 pills and left the hospital only takng one in additon
to the gallbladder and pepcid ones and the vitamins ... I guess that is a good
thing.  I walk severl times a week and it is a brisk walk ... have even started
running agian, though only for short distances as I have to build up that
endurance again.  Guess I jus have to stay positive, but would be nice to see
some results on the scale ... don't weigh in daily, so even more frustrating
when I do and not alot has changed, if anything :o)
