pre opers please consider

Ordering some nectar before surgery! I don't know how I would have made it the first few days and weeks without it! I couldn't stand the chocolate or anything with milk! It just tasted like sludge. It's not uncommon to not be able to tolerate milk post op. I don't work for them or anything lol just know how much it helped me! I have the Cappuccino and Roadside Lemonade too, I prefer the fuzzy navel. I start my morning off with one and I have a head start on my protein! I like the cappuccino, but it's really too sweet, but if you love sweet coffee you'll love it

Try finding a site that will sell you a sampler pack. (BJs Bariatrcs lets you select the flavors you want). I went through a lot of nectar post-op, it was a relieving change from the chocolate / vanilla routine. Did a lot of cherry, and lemon iced tea. I did NOT like the chocolate though, and wasn't terribly fond of the Cappuccino either. Also, that one does have caffeine in it, so it might by too acidic for the early days while your tummy's still healing. I know I wasn't allowed to have coffee for several weeks.

I also strongly recommend the Unjury chicken broth flavor, just for something not-sweet!
