stacie1002 2 Posted December 31, 2012 Hi everybody. I start my pre op diet on Jan 1. I was online looking for reviews of different Protein powders to find out which was the best tasting and I realized something (you might already know this). Buy unflavored Protein Powder (I have some left over from a previously failed diet this year). And buy different flavors of crystal light, propel, etc. flavored drink mix. Mix those things together as a cheap way to experiment with what you like instead of purchasing expensive flavored protein powder you may not even like. I'll be posting on what I like and don't like when I start my pre op diet on the 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stacie1002 2 Posted January 6, 2013 Ok guys, its day 6 of my pre op diet. Someone told me it will be as hard as you make it out to be, and it is so true. One reason is that Protein Shakes, in my opinion, are not good at all. I've had to put more flavored drink mix than the intended serving per 8 ounces of Water just to knock out the taste of the Protein powder (unflavored). So right now I am blending crystal light classic orange flavor with my protein powder. Its not that bad. Also, I like sugar free hot cocoa mix. You won't taste the protein at all with it, and its good. Don't heat it up! Protein powder clumps up when its hot, and it's so gross. It tastes fine cold.
