Oh I'm sticking to liquids it is just the protein taste is getting nastier and nastier with every time I drink it.

Hi all, I'm on a post-op liquid Protein diet, all the powder shakes are very sweet, borderline nasty. Pre-op wasn't bad because it was 8oz of Water or skim milk, but now it is same amount of protein for 4oz of water or skim milk. Tried unjury chicken Soup and tastes now just like salt water, before was fine, unflavored protein still doesn't smell and tastes right. Anybody has any suggestions, please.

Thank you, I will look at that also. Maybe will get out of the house tomorrow and go shopping.

I take these: http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Alive-Liquid-Citrus/dp/B00125VQ78 before surgery I took the same but in a pill now liquid. I love those vitamins because you get everything your body needs. (taste is not that great in liquid but great multi, I can actually feel the energy from it. I also take gummy calcium.

I got the nectar brand and it is still sweet, I think I'm just going to add more water.

Thank you, I thought of trying yogurt, but the diet says clear liquids, maybe I will cheat a little and try it, because I'm getting fed up with this sugar and salt .

I'm 2 days post-op. Feeling much better. Surgery went fine: band, haital hernia fixed and adhesions removed. Now home on liquids and dealing with pain and gas but could be worse. Just had to sneeze, let me tell you its no fun, just like coughing and laughing.

Got banded yesterday also, had the hernia repaired and some adhesions removed. Stayed the night at the hospital and now home, still in pain but manageable without pain killers just cvs brand tylenol. Gas is ok not bad. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Good luck to all.

Thank you, thank you thank you. Got up again and started bleeding again and almost fainted, so back to bed. But I feel good and actually been avoiding the happy button for a bit.

I was banded 4 hours ago and I'm not hungry yet either, but my docs orders nothing by mouth until tomorrow morning. Good luck to you.

Hi everybody, I'm banded! I'm staying in the hospital overnight, my docs instructions, he keeps everyone overnight. Feeling ok, but still looking for the Mack truck that hit me, lol. Already got up once to use the bathroom and had little bleeding from one incision, nurse said it ok happens. So the journey begins!

Thanks to all of you for your support. I'm getting ready to go to the hospital, will be back here as soon as I get access to internet after surgery.

Getting banded tomorrow morning, day before my b-day. I know everything will be ok, or at least I keep telling myself that. I found a great amount of info on this forum and all stocked up and ready with gas-x, peppermint tea, liquid tylenol(cvs brand), acid reflux capsules, enough protein to last me about a month and whatever else I can't even think of. I guess you can see I'm a little nervous, but I know it will all be fine.

My dietitian told me to buy breath strips before surgery, because after for about a month I will have bad taste in my mouth and bad breath. But she didn't say why.

I got a few samples from my nutritionist. Unjury doesn't give you anything for free.

Yeah it tastes good and gas 28 grams of protein.

I have tried all the Unjury flavors. Chicken so far is my favorite, plain has a bit of the smell and just a hint of taste, but it is not bad. I'm not a big fan of their Strawberry Sorbet. Chocolat and Vanilla are ok, as long as you use fat free milk and not Skimplus or the smell is too strong. So far I'm very happy with GNC Whey Isolate 28 in Cookie & Cream flavor and today I got Nectar in Fuzzy Navel flavor and it was great. Hope it helps.

Thank you, Mountainside.

Hi Lisanj, I see your doctor is same as mine, my surgery 3/28/12. How did everything go with the doc and his staff, just curious what to expect. Thank you.

I'm in Essex county, surgery on 3/28 at Mountainside Hospital. Day 4 of pre-op diet not easy but manageable.

March 28th

My nutritionist told me to add a little bit of honey into the yogurt or get a honey flavored yogurt.

And also almost forgot, through out the day I drink atleast 64oz of water

Today I'm in day 4 of pre-op diet and this is what I do: Breakfast: GNC Whey Isolate 28 Cookies&Cream flavor with 8 oz of skim plus 5.5 oz greek yogurt honey flavor sf Jello temptations mousse snack: sf apple sause Lunch: unjury plain flavor mixed in sf o cal decaf crystal light in 8oz of Water 1 cup of salad with 2tbl spoons of sf dressing sf jello temptations mousse snack: sf apple sause Dinner: Unjury chicken Soup flavor mix in 8oz of warm water v8 juice 6oz sf vanilla pudding snack: Unjury vanila mix in 8oz of skimplus milk sf jello temptations mousse ( all out of yogurt today) and that is been my diet last 3 days

I'm in 3rd day of the pre-op diet and what I do is everyday I write down what I can eat the next day and it is hanging on the fridge, also I total the calories. So far I have been between 1200 to 1300 calories a day. Good luck to all.
