Protein Powder is pre mixed into all of my gross disgusting processed manufactured pre op diet food.

Does all Protein powder smell and taste bad, or should I just assume this company uses a gross brand to make their products??

I need some suggestions on good tasting protein powder.

My surgery is scheduled for July 16ty, but I had lapband surgery 4 yrs ago and had to use Protein powders. I spent $160 on GNC.com and hated everything I got. My nurse said drink Isopure Fruit drinks. They taste like Jolly Ranchers. They don't. Not even close. Couldn't drink even 1.

I bought a $15 jug pf Protein powder from Walmart (can't remember the name) and it was ok. Not great but not gaggy. This time I thought Id try to sampled a few brands/flavors before I actually need them. Last week I got my 12 sampled pkt of various flavors from Syntra nectar. I've only tried one (roadside lemonade) and its darn good. I ordered some unflavored Syntra nectar so I can add it to my own drinks (juice, smoothies, pudding, etc). Haven't gotten it yet but I've heard good things about Nectar.

My advise: go to Amazon.com and browse the protein powders. Many brands will send u sample packs for pretty cheap. Try a few before u take a mortgage out and buy sguff u hate.

Good luck...

Btw, its Syntrax Nectar. My spellcheck on my phone is working overtime lately. Hopefully it actually comes out with an x at the end, not Syntra

I use Bariatric Fusion. I have grown to like them. chocolate mousse and chocolate mint with choco chip flavors are my fave.

I use Unjury and I can't smell or taste it at all (in unflovored). They can send you a sample pack. They also ship FAST.

I really love the Syntrax nectar in vanilla bean torte, chocolate truffle, and double stuffed cookie. I make a double shake and mix 2 scoops of powder to 8 oz Water and 8 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk. The chocolate truffle with the almond milk tastes like melted chocolate almond ice cream,....no aftertaste!

I also like the unjury strawberry sorbet.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
