I ordered the sample pack from Chike and it arrived the next day. That was a surprise! Anyway, just wondered how it compares with the others, if you like it, etc. I'm on my preop diet and had the orange flavor last night. I thought it tasted great. I did notice,however, that it has lots more ingredients (in the sugar family, although only 4g of sugars) than the powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, as well as higher calories -- 190.

What about SetPro? I got a couple of their fruity drink mixes. 90 cal, 18g Protein, no sugars. Are they filling? I guess after surgery that might not be such a big issue!

Any thoughts from those of you who have had the surgery? I know tastes change... :-)

Can't really answer your question, but interested in the answers you will get. I ordered the sample of the Chike products, too, and really liked them. Especially the banana. I didn't analyze the ingredients too much since I had seem them suggested on this site. But you are right, maybe they do taste a little TOO good!

You know, I think the carbs are on the high side. I've since heard people mention that their doctor said double digit Protein with single digit carbs. Chike, at least one of the flavors, had 11 grams of carbs. The SetPoint (I misnamed it) is also really good. It's more like an Orange Julius type drink. It only has 3 grams of carbs and mixes with Water. I was thinking i might order some more Chike for a treat of sorts while recovering from surgery. Did the Chike people call you? I thought that was funny, but the lady was super nice. I'm not used to it in the world of online shopping...

Nope, no one called me that I know of. I think I read about the single digit carbs, too. Seems like unjury is pretty popular, maybe I'll break down and spend the $23 or whatever for their sample packets. I think it's like $17.95 plus shipping.

Hello!

I also received the samples from Chike. The banana flavor was so good. A lady named Holly called me from Chike also. I thought that was kinda strange, but she was really sweet.

I don't start my pre-op diet until June 6th so I'm trying all the samples I can before I choose what brand to buy, and I think I may end up buying Chike. I don't mind the carbs too much since I started the couch to 5k program and I burn a lot of carbs off doing that. :)

Haven't heard of SetPoint, will have to google them.

I bought the Protein mixers, not the Meal Replacements, from SetPoint. I have had tropical mixer and orange splash. Both are 90 cal, no fat, 3g carbs, 18g protein. I am using it like a between meals protein boost and its very refreshing and tastes great to me. I think I can use it for my clear liquid diet after I'm sleeved on Thursday because it stays as clear as the Unjury chicken broth does.

      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.
