Hi, I am getting ready to have my surgery in a month. I asked my nutritionist if this would work, but she told me that it didn't have enough Protein and too many carbs. Did you ask your dr or nutritionist about this? I'm wondering if she misread the package? Thanks! Can't wait to get started... and if I can use visalus I would be thrilled because it is yummy. Lisa

From what i understand, the Protein is lower but it is better utilized by the body. it does taste great.

I tried it too & it really is the shake mix that tastes like a cake mix. It was SOOO good but my nut says I can't have it either. :(

I was told not to use it pre op only because they wanted me to find a Protein Powder I like... so I didn't use it... darn, because you are right- so delicious! I have not heard of the BSN Syntha-6 isolate, where did you hear about that? Is it a Protein powder? I still need to find a delicious one, because who wants to drink something you don't look forward to???? Seems it will cause you to eat stuff you shouldn't if you don't find something that is more than "tolerable".

      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.
