Thanks!!

I drink Premier Protein RTD and that's it for shakes. I also drink Isopure Zero Carb, which is like a fruity drink with 40g of Protein.< /p>

I am a big fan of unjury chocolate splendor and Unjury strawberry sorbet.

Muscle milk is pretty good.

Unjury chocolate Splendor is delicious. Pure Protein ready to drink is good. However I won't use any of these because of sucralose/Splenda in them. I also mixed Isopure with Crystal Light. I have so many sample packs of Unjury. Oh well.

The only thing I can really tolerate is Premier Protein...and I have to chug it in the morning to get it down. LOL. I liked Muscle Milk before surgery, but after surgery it started giving me a real bad case of "The Hershies"...if you get my drift. :-)

Don't trust your farts for a few weeks. You're welcome. :-)

I don't like any of the RTD (I did okay with Premier Protein at the beginning but now they gag me). My powders of choice: Syntrax Matrix orange cream, banana cream, strawberries & cream, milk chocolate, mint cookie. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard vanilla ice cream & caramel toffee fudge, Unjury chocolate splendor, Chike Iced coffee & Chike Banana Magic (I generally only use a half serving of Chike because otherwise the carbs are too high).

Immediately after surgery I did a lot of Syntrax Nectar (fuzzy navel, Roadside Lemonade, lemon tea, twisted cherry) and Unjury chicken Soup.< /p>

You won't have much capacity following surgery so find a shake/mix with a high level of Protein which will give you more bang fir the buck. Isopure no carb mix with 12 ounces of milk gives you 68 grams if protein. That one shake will satisfy your daily requirement.

Muscle milk light (20g) and pro (40g) are both good. I get light at Costcos.

How about a no flavor Protein mix, is there one that tastes better than another?

How about using some davinci sugar free Syrup to flavor them. I use Cherry flavored in my chocolate Unjury shake and it's so good. Tastes like a chocolate covered Cherry but they have lots of flavors!

I was thinking the no flavor powder Protein to add to meals.

I used Unjury plain. They aren't really no flavor so get small quantities to experiment.

I use Unjury also--Strawberry Sobet with Crystal Light Lemonade and Vanilla with Crystal Light Orange. One of each each day with an 8-oz. glass of milk gets me to my Protein supplement requirements.

      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.
