My dr told me to try different things prior to surgery to see what I can tolerate. I did get a new Ninja as the other one would have been entirely too much work for the quantities I was attempting to make.

I did break everything down into small freezer bags, purees etc, I am attempting to get used to this diet now so that I can be prepared.

GNC had a grand opening and I got free membership, so I will try their Protein Powder too. I do see that it has more calories than Unjury, and I'm thinking it has some fat calories too. I'm not looking at it right now but I remember the pack is 200 calories.

I really went in search of the Apple Melon Isopure. I tasted it, and was surprised that it tasted like apple jolly ranchers. I did get a few Protein Bars to try as well and other isoPure flavors. I explained to the employee what I was doing. She then led me away from a lot of the products and showed me why. Some of those bars have 400 calories each.

I'm learning a lot. I feel excited about it all!

GNC carries Quest Protein which is pretty good. I like their Protein Bars too.

I love Quest bars, I also like pure Protein bars and Premier Protein bars with Quest being my favorite. I personally like Jay Robb Protein Powder.

I did get the Quest Protein bars. I may have the Premier as well. I am not sure. I have 2 different brands that they explained would be best for someone after surgery. I have seen this protein powder on another site. There are many people that use it.

I have so many issues with allergies that now I see the unjury sits well on my stomach, I am nervous to change too quickly with the flavors. The one I got from GNC is French vanilla. She said to try it in orange juice.

The main thing is to stick with Protein isolate since it has a higher percent of Protein. Try different ones until you find the one that works for you, we all have different tastes. Ask for help at the store making choices with allergies. Good luck!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
