Tagger I was not able to find that product on the shelves but I was told by a friend that some fine, upscale grocery stores carry it. I went to my local food boutique and was unable to find it. I think that you can order it online and they will ship it but I don't know if it is worth all of that. :) Sorry I guess that was not much help.

Yes, I purchased it at IGA, Garden Market in Richmond, BC. But I'm sure its available at other IGA's as well. When I went there the staff didn't even know they had it, so you might have to look at bit. But it was right there with the bouillion mixes.

AND...its sooooooo delicious! High salt content and it made me retain a bit of Water, but hay, when you are only on liquids, you really appreciate the flavour! Don't think I would have made it through the first month without it. I still enjoy it now!

Hope this help.

Thanks everyone, I'll try IGA and a couple of independent stores - if no luck will order online. I'm starting my pre-op diet Sunday and I agree - might as well have something that tastes good.

I tried local health food stores and nothing. My daughter went to Florida 2 weeks ago and she found it in the local grocery store and will bring it back for me. I hear that it is also high in protien which the others are not. It is available on line. There is a Garden Basket in Markham that I will try and let you know.

I finally found it at Sunterra Market here in Calgary. Our IGA didn't carry it but thanks to all that made suggestions.

      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.
