Any good recommendations?

Doesn't your doc recommend one? They usually have a brand or specific NI they want you to have?

I am in the process of "testing" right now. I like the Unjury chicken flavored and i also like the meijer brand chocolate. Also i like the fruit protien drinks from GNC.< /p>

Is Unjury sold at retail anywhere?

No, only online at UNJURY Medical Quality whey Protein Isolate. Great Tasting Whey Protein supplements for Everyday Health! High Protein and High Quality.

My nutritionist will not advise me which shakes to drink until she recieves my cheque for $150.00 Hopefully that is today. The surgery is on Saturday however the class I need is on Sunday following the procedure. All the staff seem to think I will be fine to sit for 5 hours the next day through a class...

My absolute favorite Protein Shake is from www.michaelthomasonline.com He only makes vanilla and chocolate but I always get the vanilla and mix what kind of flavow i want with it. This is the only shake I have found that actually thickens and doesn't have that yucky aftertaste. I used to like one called Diet Fuel by Twinlab but I can't find it anymore.

My favorite Protein shake is Muscle Milk. It doesn't have the Vitamin taste to it. The Special K shakes and Protein waters are really good too.

No offense to you or anyone else intended, but that's horsesh**. Both the nutritionist and the staff intentions.

Much of a power trip, there, Nutritionist Lady?

I am SO with you on that, TT... it's only the name of a shake for goodness sake! I would have been seriously irritated at that.

My surgeon has never hidden what shakes he wants me to use (optifast) and, in fact, in a little over a week I am going to start using them earlier than he suggested for my daytime Meal Replacements and still have dinner at night until the pre-op diet commences and THEN replace dinner with the shake as well. It's my personal pre-pre-op diet... lol

By the way, Optifast is the shake my surgeon recommends.
