Give yourself a few options - it doesn't have to be all one or the other. I love the vanilla Eas 100% whey powder, because I don't like the strongly flavored ones much. I tried a few of the Syntrax Nectar flavors and they were really overpowering. If you don't like the muscle milk, by all means stop it and switch to another type, unless your doctor wanted you to have this specific one (Though it seems like most give you plenty of choices). I have some muscle milk but so far have not really enjoyed it.

I'm told the Unjury is fantastic. They have a sampler pack too that comes with two packets of each flavor, a food thermometer nd mixing bottle.

I use the muscle milk light... chocolate.. love it! They sell it at costco and BJs, if you have one near by. I drink 3 of them a day to make sure I get my Protein in. I was told you should get 60-70 g of protein per day. I have been able to eat chicken and turkey too. Im 3 weeks out of surgery. I have "stalled" with my weight loss, but from what I have read, its normal. Dont be discouraged. After the surgery, all you will want to drink is liquids anyway. Just listen to your body. After about 4 days after my surgery I was ok'd for soft foods, like sugar free pudding, creamy soups... it good to ease back into the eating world! Good luck to all of you on your surgery! Its a journey... to say the least!!!

      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.
