I didn't find much I liked. I used clear Isopure 40gm drinks from GNC. One a day at 4 bucks each was still less than my old fast food budget.

If you want protien powder I suggest cuppacino. I look forward to drinking those...well at least they taste good.

Glad you are trying to keep up your Protein up.

Pre op I enjoyed the Muscle Milk Lights and EAS ready to drink. Post Op, I have enjoyed Unjury. I know netrition.com has a sample pack which is reasonable & allows you to try a variety of different brands. I was lucky & the Unjury my NUT recommended worked fine for me, but I have seen posts were others have not been very lucky with their shakes. Good luck & congratulations!!!

Currently, I am using "Silk Milk (Vanilla)," in which I add the Carnation Breakfast Essentials & then I add a scoop of the whey Protein Powder (Vanilla) from GNC. It makes a great drink and a good source of Protein.< /p>

I dont really like any of the powders. I can tollerate the pre mixed stuff better, but not much. I prefer just to buy the Protein shots(hate the taste too) but I can chug them down fast and my protein is done. 27 g a shot. good luck

Thank u I don't think I like the powders either! I can't take a second swallow the pre mixed lean shake from GNC is not the best but, I can take more than one swallow. I heard about the Protein Shots I wanted to try it but, I also seen somewhere on this forum where they didn't really have anything good to say about the protein shots so I avoided it but, I'm trying my best to find something I can tolerate I just got some protein Jello from GNC it has 21 or 23 grams of protein I'm gonna try that too

I've heard good things about the Syntrax Nectar flavors- I've yet to try them (I'm pre op) but I'm gonna order a sample pack to see what I like but I hear they are good. I like sweet things (some people have said they are too sweet) but I think I'll like it. I've tried the optimum nutrition gold standard before and it wasn't so bad. Good luck! I've been researching Protein like crazy too to find something good! They also told me to do Isopure but from what I've heard its gross so I don't think I'll be trying it- maybe the clear ones but not the shakes.< /p>

      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.
