Recommended Posts

I love the chocolate Mousse! LOL I add powder Peanut Butter to it... delish! What do you to mix it with? Did you like that Orange Cream? I just bought a tube of it today. I buy it at a local pharmacy...they stock all flavors. How did you hear about fusion btw?

I love the Bariatric Fusion powders. Or at least the cappacino, orange cream and the cinnamon bun ones. Wasn't a fan of the unflavored or chocolate mousse.


I still have the strawberry and mint choc chip to try.


I also love the no sugar added carnation instant Breakfast. Totally 100% tastes just like chocolate milk.

I mix all Protein powders with fat free milk. And yeah, the orange cream was pretty good.

My doc sells bariatric fusion. They also have all the flavors, in tubs and packets.

SJ, that's the one I wanted to try. The cappuccino. I did not like the cinnamon one. And I didn't like the unflavored Unjury but I heard the chix Soup was good but he was out. Did u end up getting the unjury starter kit?

The cappacino one tastes almost like cappacino. It was the first one in tried and the one I go back to the most. :) I still have the strawberry shortcake, mint choc ice cream, and vanilla to try.

I don't think I like the unjury unflavored either. I can smell It or something.

No. I haven't yet. I think I'm going to order it though. I dunno. The $8 shipping on $21 is kind of silly. Haha. I got the unflavored unjury at my docs office.

I do not like pre-made shakes. If my insurance approves those I am going to certainly try but the bariatric shakes I get here locally are really good. I like to doctor my shakes up anyways. So I am always adding to them. Because those powders are expensive I often use 1/2 scoop and add greek yogurt to it along with other ingredients to up the Protein. Does your insurance cover Premier? What other powders have you tried? Have they all been bariatric shakes??

So that's a no. Premier is the most recommended RTD shake on this site. I love it with a splash of Torani sf raspberry Syrup and it has 30g carbs.

Some ppl, like me, aren't allowed Greek yogurt on their preop. But I'll definitely give it a try after I'm cleared to.

I've tried unjury, about time, new direction, bariatric fusion and Bariatric Advantage. The only one that didn't make me gag or make me sick was about time. It has like 5 ingredients and you can pronounce every one. Uses stevia as a sweetener.

I didn't use it pre op (the greek yogurt) I wasn't allowed either. I don't like pre made shakes because in past experience, pre-made shakes have always had a gritty taste plus I am very happy with fusion. If my insurance approves it will be the only way I try it. I think it would be beneficial to have a pre made shake (in my purse/car) available for times when I can't get to my kitchen blender and I am in a pinch to get something into my stomach.

I honestly prefer using whole foods and plant Proteins to make my own shakes b/c many of those shakes have a lot of fillers and other ingredients I can't pronounce.

My friend recommended Unjury but I am happy with Fusion so I am not really shopping around for anything else.

Honestly.. the shakes are the only thing my stomach doesn't do flips when it hits my belly so I have been primarily doing shakes even though I have been cleared for a soft diet.

BTW, how much are those Premier shakes?

At our class they had so many but the ones I WANTED to try were not there. My nut brought samples from her own supply so we didn't feel like we were forced into buying their office's brands they carry

Right about $19.88 for a 12 pk at SAMs. You may look up about time. It's tryabouttime.com. That's my nut's favorite. It's the one that's gluten free, vegan and uses stevia as it's sweetener. Not too bad.

Cool. I'm thinking you could get more there and I'll pay you for the price. Although we got to TASTE different things, my dr office only sells New Direction and Barf-Bariatric Advantage. Lol

I need to try that!! (Decaf and the cappacino). And I really need to get some torani syrups. Where do you buy em? I'd prefer to try and find some at a store, instead of ordering since I'm a procrastinator and am running out of time. Lol

Girl, I got mine at Walmart on the coffee aisle. Be careful n make sure you get the sugar free. They have a minimal selection at walmart. If you have a whole foods or central market, they have shit-tons there.

      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.
