So far, I've really liked Unjury's chicken Soup, strawberry sorbet, and unflavored. Chike Nutrition's chocolate is excellent. (Both brands you can find online.) For ready-made... my absolute favorites have been Atkins Advantage shakes. :) I'm on day 8 of my 2-week pre-op diet, and I have cast my net far and wide to try a lot of the different ones out there in such a short time!

Thanks for asking. Today was my first day of sampling Protein Shakes. I have never been a fan of these drinks but figured i should probably find something that I like. Anywho, i tried Spiru-Tein today and OMG.....couldn't do it. I threw it down the drain and opted for cottage cheese. If anyone knows of a really good vanilla, chocolate or french vanilla Protein Shake, please share.

I really enjoy a Protein shake that i came acorss here at my local health store. It's called 'JEM' it only requires 6-8oz of Water or beverage of your choice and 1 scoop of powder which equals 32 grams ( i get the rest of my Protein from meats and the food i eat considering im 10 weeks out) of protein. I drink the chocolate once per day and once i start working out its recommended to take in two.

Even though I have been told my tasts could change. I am having my sugery on Jan 26th. I have been trying some of the Protein Shakes. So far I like the Pure Protein shakes. I hav etried Chocklot, strawberry, and Vinalla and I like all of them. They have 35 grams of protein, 4 Carbs, and 1 gram of sugar. 160 to 170 calories per 11oz can. I found them at GNC and Trader Joes in Washington state. I was going to buy them on line but shipping made them more expensive than buying them local.

My favorite is "Unjury". They have Protein Powder in flavors such as chocolate, vanilla, strawberry sorbet, chicken Soup, etc. It tastes really good too! To get in Protein when you're in the clear liquid phase I recommend Isopure plus zero carb Protein Drink. They come in 12 oz. bottles, have 40mg protein, and come in flavors such as Alpine Punch, blue raspberry, green melon, etc. You can get Unjury at "unjury.com" and the isopure at GNC.com. My surgery is scheduled for Jan. 23rd. Good Luck!!

I am in love with the Isopure no carb bottled waters. They come in about 12 different fruit flavor and are ready-made. You can get them at GNC or online. They are pricey ($45 for a case

I tried the Isopure and they left a after tast only a slever could love. Dont get me wrong I have some in my fridge and I will drink them after surgery but I am still searching for something without that kind of after tast.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
