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.

      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.
