I got jello'd out really quick too, but I LOVE the sf dark chocolate pudding that they make!!! When I started on full liquids I liked eating the cream of chicken Soup with a little sage, garlic powder and pepper added to it. It is VERY tasty. As soon as I started mushies I would put my food in the food processor: chili, homemade chicken or tuna salad. I also enjoyed eating refried Beans with ff sourcream and cheddar. Scrambled eggs is also good once you start the mushies. Good luck!

I like the Wheybolic powder found at GNC. I get the chocolate and vanilla and mix 2 scoops (40 g of protein) with 8 oz of skim milk. I throw in a tbsp of Peanut Butter and 5 or 6 ice cubes and blend...It's really a treat!

One really good thing to try is to get the low carb yogurt (14grams protein), put a scoop of vanilla whey, and a little milk and blend it up real good. It doesn't taste powdery at all. You can have a lot of variety of flavors this way.

I see the ad banner here on LapBand Talk - but I wonder if anyone on here has tried it?

Hi All,

I actually have tried the Unjury powder. I am having surgery on the 30th of this month and have been searching for the right powder pre-op. I actually love the unjury. I stocked up this weekend. The powder mixes very well and is very smooth. There is not grit or powdery taste at all.

Thanks for the replies .......

It sounds like milk in included in most of your pre-op diets?

Mine diet does not include milk, just Water - mixed with the Protein shakes/soups

Which made me thinkg that I could not have pudding, milk, etc.

Hmm........maybe i will call my dr office and ask.

I should clarify I am talking about post-op liquid diet, as you asked about both.

Pre-op for me was Water 24 hours prior then nothing 12 hours prior. No other requirenments.

ProSlam and Soymilk are not milk based products. I actually am avoiding milkbased products to keep my stomach good. Muscle milk..I'm not sure what that is but is low sugar and is lactose free.

I am also drinking "Worldwide Protein Shakes" from Trader Joes. Those are Water based although the Protein comes from a milk concentrate.

Good luck.

I've tried the Unjury and it it is FABULOUS! It tastes super yummy and mixes up the best of any powder I've tried. Their customer service is outstanding, too.
