I enjoy Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino. Mixed with 8oz Water and 8 oz of skim milk or unsweetened almond milk. Delicious! Also Syntrax nectar lemon tea with 32 oz water and a crystal light lemonade packet.

I love the pre-mixed Ensure HIgh Protein shakes, milk chocolate flavor. They are very smooth, like chocolate milk with no aftertaste. I prefer them chilled but it's not necessary to refrigerate them. Each bottle is 210 calories, 25g Protein, 5g sugar, 2.5g fat and lots of vitamins/minerals too. Wish I had known about them during my liquid phase. I usually drink one per day.< /p>

I am a die hard Unjury fan, I am almost 5 months out and still do a morning shake with unjury. I love it. the unflavored is great and so is chocolate splender.

I became a huge smoothie fan after I started gaging on Protein shakes, just the consistency of them made me gag. I use smoothie King Protein Powder (45g in 2 scoops) mix in some strawberries and apples, little bit of ice and there you go.

I am 4 weeks post op and have never been able to get down Protein Shakes. I get all my Protein (and meet my requirements fully) from natural sources. My nutritionist said I can't do it but I did! My main sources are 1% and fat-free milk, cheese, fat-free greek yogurt and lean small meatballs. Thankfully I'm not lactose intolerant!

      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.
