Pre surgery I would've loved the berry and grape. Post not so much. Love the coconut one though. As for powders I like the Syntrax ones. You can buy a variety pack on Amazon. Lots of fruit flavors. Most powders aren't going to be completely clear. More suited for full liquid phase

I hated Bai, like Meatloaf, I too can do many things but I Won't Do THAT. And there sits an additional one on my fridge shelf, well I'M NOT TOUCHING IT. I like strawberry , I like lemon, but the combination smells and tastes like that red furniture oil Mama used when I was little, never ever even planned drinking that stuff. I also do like Ensure's Protein clearish waters. Less protein than shakes but still has sizable. Comes in fruit Punch and Blueberry pomegranate, about $6-7 in price for 4,I think. Do most of my shopping at Wally World so that's usually whose prices I quote.

I like Isopure infusions powder. it is 20g a scoop. there are a few flavors, but the citrus lemonade is my fave. I also drank Bone Broth following surgery. Pre-made bottled Premier Protein clear tropical punch is another fave, but I found that its was too sweet post-op so I would Water it down. I am going to find and try Syntrax and protein20 next. I have moved on to shakes now but I feel kind of blah after having an entire shake. I find that I tolerate Protein water the best right now.

I also liked the Premier Clear (20 grams of protein) prior, but found them too sweet after and had to Water them down. I also liked Swanson Sipping Bone Broths (9 grams of Protein and 45 calories) for a non-sweet option. For protein powders I use GENEPRO, it is a smaller scoop and seemed easier to blend without clumps into my Soups, broths and tea. Make sure and mix it into a cold/cool liquid and add to anything heated. I have also added it to sugar free Jello for protein jello shots.

Good luck!!

      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.
