I will be having surgery next week for gastric sleeve. I need help finding the best tasting clear Protein drink. Should I vary flavor and how much will I need for a week? And where to buy?

I liked the ProtiDiet liquid Beverage Concentrates. They gave them to me in the hospital and I used them a lot in the first few weeks. Initially, I ate them over crushed ice with a spoon. Later I was able to dilute them. Now, I add them to my Water bottle on occasion.

I also like some of the Syntrax Nectars. Fuzzy Navel is my favorite.

Some people like Isopure. I tried it but it wasn't my favorite.

Keep in mind that you can continue to use clear supplements once you advance to later stages.

I recommend trying some samples before you buy a lot. I got a sampler pack from Syntrax of their different flavors which was helpful.

My surgeon's office sold the ProtiDiet concentrates and I also order them online.

You can also check a store like GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe.

I recently began using GENEPRO after watching a "grocery haul" video on YouTube that another woman who'd had the VSG made, and I really like it thus far. If I had known about it when I was on clear I would have given it a shot. I'd used Isopure then but wasn't a fan. A tablespoon-sized serving of GENEPRO has 30 grams of Protein. It dissolves very well in cold liquids, and decently in warm and hot as well but you have to do a bit more stirring (with a fork, rather than a spoon, as per the instructions.) Once you're past the clear stage you can add it to yogurt, smoothies, and the like.

I liked the Syntrax Nectar flavors -- my favorites were fuzzy navel, lemon iced tea, and Roadside Lemonade.< /p>

If you are just on clears for a week, I might get a couple sample packs to get you through the week and then see if you want to continue with whatever you like best or switch to something else.

You can find different Syntrax nectar variety packs just by Googling Syntrax Nectar variety pack or Syntrax Nectar sample pack.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
