I prefer the Premier Nutrition shakes. They can be purchased at costco or Sam's. 30g of Protein in each. Congrats and good luck on your surgery!

This is gonna be fun.

I'll give you a few.

Unjury- I like their chocolate splendor, & their chicken Soup flavor. The chicken is great when your tired of all the sweet stuff

*uses pure whey protien isolate

Nectar® by Syntrax- these have a few fruitier flavors. I like the fuzzy navel & cherry flavors best

*uses pure whey protien isolate

Chike meal replacement- this taste better than the other two but has more calories since it is more than just a protien supplement.

*uses whey Protein isolate & whey Protein concentrate

Premier Nutrition- this one is all about convince & taste. It uses multuple lower quality dairy based Proteins.

I use ready to drink in a can Pure Protein with 35gm of protein. On days I feel like making my own; then I use Jay Robb brand or Whey Gourmet (Peanut butter chocolate).

Question: does the nectar by Syntrax taste like crystal light and is it still a watery consistency or does it gel or thicken the Water?

Question: does the nectar by Syntrax taste like crystal light and is it still a watery consistency or does it gel or thicken the Water?

It has the thinnest consistency I've seen in a protien mix, very close to Water. (definately thinner than skim milk)

No, I don't think it taste like crystal light. It seems to have a fruitier flavor than crystal light

To me crystal light has a somewhat harsh taste from the aspartame.

Being a whey protien drink, it does have a bit if a "milky" undertone.

Which is why I'm so picky about them. I just think certain flavors work better with this than others.

Another flavor you might try is the caribbean cooler this one gets good reviews. The only reason I don't like is because it has a distinct sweetened coconut taste to it (like pniã colada) that I just don't like.

      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.
