That sounds good! I have tried so many different types of Protein and I thought that I would never find one that I could tolerate. However, I really like the Muscle Gain from Advocare...Both vanilla and chocolate are good too! There is no strange texture or yucky lingering flavors! It is a bit more than I expected to spend but it is worth it. https://www.advocare.com/120127693/Store/ItemDetail.aspx?itemCode=P2602&id=ALL&flavor=B&size=C

Just an fyi... Many post sleevers will tell you that your tastes will change after surgery so dont invest all your money in something you like now for after surgery because you may not like it after. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

There are a few good ones out there, the problem is that I'm sick of sweet flavored shakes and I'm on an all liquid preop. The only non sweet one I've heard of on these boards is the Unjury chicken...has anyone tried that? I have to drink Isopure for the first week post op and not looking forward to those. I tried a few and they were all unpleasant.

I purchased the Unjury chicken because of recommendations from everyone, I haven't tried it yet because of what Pre-op loser619 stated above, I will not be adding anything else new until I know that I am alright after surgery.

and I DO NOT like the Isopure at all!

I like the Unjury chicken Soup. The only problem is that you can't make it very hot or the consistency changes and it because undrinkable. You have to use hot tap Water, which is not ideal.

Your taste will change, so do not overbuy. I like the Lean shake from GNC. Very popular at GNC!

I really don't like canned broth and I'm afraid to try the Unjury powdered chicken broth so I think I'm going to make my own. I figure I can flavor it with a bunch of herbs and veggies, then strain it and freeze in ice trays. Then just pop one out, heat up and add unflavored Protein. That's the plan anyway.

I think that is a great plan. When I was at the recovery house, they made the broth in the way that you described and it was delicious.

      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.
