Try sample pack to see what you like. I can only tolerate unflavored in Vitamin Water, broth, etc.

Isopure is great and they have several flavors. But any Protein Drink that is whey isolate would work. I have vanilla whey isolate and mix a teaspoon of sugar free berry Metamucil and a couple squirts of Mio, add Water and ice and blend it to a milk shake. It's pretty yummy. :-)

There are so many options.

Please learn from my mistakes - don't go buy a whole lot of one brand before surgery. Your taste buds WILL change after surgery, and the powder you love right now will make you nauseous at the thought of it post op. find some that work now an d after surgery from a Vitamin shop that will let you try before you buy.

I always keep vanilla on standby because I can make it whatever I want. Usually blend it with a combo of plain Greek yogurt, skim milk and frozen fruit. Ends up like a milkshake consistency. And like 30g protein!

Whomever said buy sample packs is right on! Unjury and Syntrax both have sample packs, I'd have em on hand and ready for post-op. taste is a very strange thing. I personally thought Isopure was like drinking acid flavored with cat urine, but some people like it!

GNC sells sample pack of their Protein light powder. I tried all favors and settled for vanilla bean with few drops of peach Water Enhancer :)

      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.
