HealthyRN 56 Posted November 20, 2015 Good deal. It's always great to find new sources of Protein that you like. I've been very fortunate in that I've had great results with a dozen different Protein powders and pre-mixed drinks that I've tried. There has only been one that I never, ever want to taste again and it is unjury strawberry flavor. Never again. Tossed a brand new can in the garbage. I really like their chocolate and their unflavored.....but never again on the strawberry.< /p> That one is awful!!! I sent that and the vanilla back, they are supposed to be sending my the chocolate one in there place. I also like the chicken Soup one, I now add soft carrots and a little chicken for meals.

tmcx28 297 Posted November 20, 2015 I just got my sample pack of the Syntrax Nectar flavors, I'm hoping I find a winner in one of these! The milky flavors just aren't cutting it for me, if none of these work then I'm going to pick up a few bottles of the Isopure.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jodyh55 8 Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks for input. My surgery is Monday and I'm the first one. So excited, BUT A Bit scared! Not about actual surgery as I am an old OR nurse and I have friends that are like my family taking care of me. Worried about drinking afterwards, I drink really fast! Everyone says that I will figure it out and take little sips. We shall see, huh? Wt loss was good in preoperative diet, no chewing, lost 8# in 4 days, but then broke my scale, lol. Guess who's going scale shopping tomorrow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jodyh55 8 Posted November 20, 2015 I find it very interesting that we have a large number of health care professionals having weight issues. Perhaps no time for ourselves taking care of others? Or stress plus no lunch breaks, eating pizza? Hmmmmm. J/w Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess who's going scale shopping tomorrow!t Practice now. Pre-op we were instructed to practice taking really small bites and eating slow & sipping slowly when drinking. It made it easier postop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard great things about the fuzzy navel so I was excited to try it and so far I've liked it the least! I'm drinking the cherry right now and it's not too bad, I think if I mixed it in to a cherry crystal light it would be something I could drink regularly. I'll be trying the strawberry kiwi tomorrow when I start my pre-op diet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
