In Your Opinion



Recommended Posts

I think it's from having so many years of allergies. I can smell something if I stick it right up to my nose, but not any other way. I had my daughter stick her nose in the jug and ask her what it smelled like, and she said there was no smell.

And there is no aftertaste or it doesn't change the taste of what you add it to either? It is GNC's own brand?

yes. It's GNC brand. I didn't think it changed the taste of anything I put it in, but like I said, people tell me I don't taste things right because my sense of smell is off.

That's one of the things I don't like about the lean dessert choc. coconut. I think it does have an aftertaste.

I have always heard that your smell/taste are connected. That lean dessert must have a strong aftertaste for you to even notice that it has a taste at all. Try the syrups - it totally kicked the aftertaste of the MRM Protein powder I bought.

I was going to buy some but the smallest package they had was $17 ... I may just order some from Syntrax when I order the nectar since I can't find it here anywhere

Why do you have no sense of smell? You can take some of mine as it's become extra sensitive since the surgery.

Ohhh, do not order directly from Syntrax, that's the most expensive way to buy it. It's half the price if you go to:

Netrition.com - The Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore!

From there you do a search on Syntrax products and you'll see them all.

So, I'm a bit confused. Is a clear liquid, Water, for instance, when mixed with a Protein powder like lean dessert, still considered a clear? Even though it's more like a shake?

A clear Protein is nectar, Isopuke, or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. That's about it.

What about crystal light mixed with GNC's unflavored

Protein powder?

If that was not clear, I cheated and didn't know it.

But now that I think about it, it was past day 5 so maybe

not.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
