I wanna Nutri- bullet, I wanna Nutribullet, anybody listening? Nope didn't think so, have to buy one MYSELF!
Frustr8 I hear you. I want one too but am afraid to push my luck. My honey made sure I have a nice blender and a hand and electric chopper. He has gone out his way to help me succeed. Don't want a bullet bad enough to upset him after all that. [emoji300]

Im very new to the gastric sleeve. I had my surgery dec 6th. I'm having a horrible time with trying new ways to get the Protein Shakes down, I found putting them in the blender they literally turn to foam. I have a few recepies but I'm currently on 3 shakes a day and need new ways to drink them. Im currently still only on bariatric high Protein liquids stage.. any advice would be wonderful! Thank you

I used premiere prior to surgery and switched to Unjury after surgery. I found I do the best with Classic chocolate with almond milk mixed in the shaker bottle. It seems to go down the easiest. I started with unjury's sample pack to see which flavor I liked. Mixing them in a blender seems to froth them up too much and then I can't get them down.

Unjury is actually specially made for bariatric surgery and is more easily digested than some of the others. Try different shakes until you find one that works for you. Best of luck on your journey.

You can get the unflavored protien powder and add it to broth for a change

I'm drinking premade GNC Lean shakes with 25g Protein per 14 oz shake. I'm 15 days post-op. I like the chocolate ones. I also bought some Pure Protein Clear Shakes at Sam's Club (premade) that are fruit punch flavored
Not sure off hand which clear (red) fruit flavor Protein Drink I picked up at Walmart. Has 15g of protein but I personally do not like them. The kind I got tasted like unsweetened cough Syrup. Not good. I think I got the wrong thing. Lol! I have strange taste preferences after surgery for a few things.

Probably what passes for fruit punch, yeah sometimes they are weird in taste. What I did was 6oz(1/3 cup) punch Protein, 6oz minute maid 15 fruit drink and filled up the rest of the way to 16oz by Water.< /p>

If you ore make your shake and jet it set in the fridge the foam / bubbles go away in about 15 minutes. When you mix it up just gently tip the container a few times.

For a while post surgery I relied on the own-branded Protein Soups you get from the BariatricPal Store. I bought a mixed pack and tried them all to pick my favourite.

@Newbie34can you post a photo of the protein h2go bottle? I have never seen it here in New Zealand, I don’t think...

Unjury shakes with either the Unjury shaker bottle or the GNC shaker bottle (has mixer thingie inside). They will be less foamy and mix very well. Add 2T of sugar free Torani Syrup (pick your flavor) and you will love it. Or add a little bit of PB2 powder. I’ve been testing shakes for the last 3 mos to prepare for post op days. There are a LOT of options out there. Unjury also has Soups with Protein.

I did the same but made the mistake of stocking up on some and my tastebuds and preferences totally changed post surgery. I had shelves of stuff I had to give away. I had an endless sweet tooth and now I hate sweet things especially diet sugary stuff.

      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.
