Protein Powder Samples-ordered!



Recommended Posts

So, in my OCD attempt to make sure I'm prepared for surgery (just about 5 weeks away!!) I ordered some Protein powder samples on Sunday. I ordered three sample packs based on a thread in the food & Nutrition forum.

First, I ordered powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I am most looking forward to trying this one, especially the unflavored and chicken Soup flavors.

I also ordered Chike and Syntrax nectar. I wasn't particularly looking for the best deals, just knew what I wanted and was hoping to get them relatively soon.

I received a follow up phone call from Chike within 24 hours, just letting me know my order had been shipped and a thank you for ordering. It was nice to see good customer service offered.

Today, I received both the Unjury and Syntrax Nectar via UPS. I'm so impressed with the Unjury! It was well packaged and included a shaker bottle and a thermometer, to test Water temps (water used to mix Protein can't exceed 140 degrees or it will clump). It also included some ideas for using each type, including the unflavored.

I am going to hold off actually taste testing until my pre-op diet. I don't want to get sick of it before it's all I can have. :)

Anyone else pre-op sampled protein powders yet?

Chike is good. That's got to be my favorite at this point. The unjury chocolate is good as hot chocolate. I didn't care for the strawberry sorbet. Syntrax Nectar is good too. I got several sample packets from BJ's Bariatrics and while I don't like the smell, the flavor is good.

I ordered the unjury and Chike right from the manufacturers' websites.

The Syntrax Nector I ordered from BestPriceNutrition.com. That one, in particular, I probably could have gotten a better price on if I had tried but I didn't want to call to order (I hate talking on the phone unless it's an absolute necessity).

      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.
