Unfortunately I don't think I'm riding anything this season. My wife is a bit agains it. Buy a house first then motorcycle. Such as life...

I tried a few brands and settled on Syntrax Nectar, they come in a lot of different flavors, my favorite is capuchino. I usually have 4 flavors in rotation to keep it from getting boring. I also use almond unsweetened milk instead of regular milk. The trick I learned is to mix the protein and let it stand in a fridge for a bit then shake again and drink. I don't use a blender just one of those mixing cups, but most of the time just put milk and powder in empty spring water bottles and shake. Good luck, most of it all will be trial and error.

My doc, does it every 6 weeks.

Banded 3/29/12, lost 40lbs since and 20lbs on pre-op, sticking to the plan as far as food, mind hunger sometimes gets tough, haven't exercised as I should. No regrets!

Before you buy make sure it is whey isolate protein and not something else, that is what my nutritionist told me, I have tried the shots but not those you found and what I found out after I bought it and read all the fine print of the contents it was three different proteins to make up that big number and one of them was collagen protein(if I remember correctly) that is the one we don't need or shouldn't have. Also taste was pretty bad. Just try different powders, I think I tried maybe 5 different brands and when you mix it up let it sit in the fridge for a bit. I found that it makes it a little better. Just my $0.02

Saw a thread here couple of month ago about this, the word is treat it like a slider and its only about 7 calories per serving. lol Sorry if I'm stepping into something I shouldn't.

I was banded 3/29/12. Lost 20lbs before and 39lbs after, but now the last 2 weeks the scale hasn't moved, it is very frustrating, I had one fill on 5/10, got 5cc's and feel the restriction a little but not much, going for a second fill 6/23 and hoping that will help, what I was told by other bandsters is to change things up with the diet and try to do a day of liquids once in a while. Haven't tried that yet but considering.

My doctor does fills every 6 weeks. I was banded on 3/28/12, today got my first fill 5cc's. Hopefully will get restriction now.

Hi all, Got the motorcycle bug, taking the class on 7/6/12, now trying to figure out what bike I should look into, spoke with a few friends who ride and some say get 250cc, some say 500cc and others say go for 750cc. I know it is a loaded question, but would like some more opinions on this. Thank you, Alex

As far as I found online there are different brands, the one I bought is IDS, I don't know about others.

I tried IDS brand 42g of protein, tasted ok very sweet, but sugar free. My nutritionist suggested I don't use them because of the proteins that make up the 42g, it has whey isolate and collagen protein( i think that is the right spelling). She told me collagen protein is not very good for us. So I used up the 12 pack that I had and didn't buy more.

I started sleeping on my stomach 3 days after surgery, never heard of that you can't, but all of us are different and maybe some will feel discomfort while others won't. Good luck.

I use liquid multi by Natures Way called Alive. Taste is not the best but I swear by these, since I started taking this multi even before surgery I felt the increase in energy. Also I take a calcium gummy, don't remember the brand.

Oh I'm sticking to liquids it is just the protein taste is getting nastier and nastier with every time I drink it.

Thank you, I will look at that also. Maybe will get out of the house tomorrow and go shopping.

I take these: http://www.amazon.com/Natures-Way-Alive-Liquid-Citrus/dp/B00125VQ78 before surgery I took the same but in a pill now liquid. I love those vitamins because you get everything your body needs. (taste is not that great in liquid but great multi, I can actually feel the energy from it. I also take gummy calcium.

I got the nectar brand and it is still sweet, I think I'm just going to add more water.

Thank you, I thought of trying yogurt, but the diet says clear liquids, maybe I will cheat a little and try it, because I'm getting fed up with this sugar and salt .

Hi all, I'm on a post-op liquid Protein diet, all the powder shakes are very sweet, borderline nasty. Pre-op wasn't bad because it was 8oz of Water or skim milk, but now it is same amount of protein for 4oz of water or skim milk. Tried

I'm 2 days post-op. Feeling much better. Surgery went fine: band, haital hernia fixed and adhesions removed. Now home on liquids and dealing with pain and gas but could be worse. Just had to sneeze, let me tell you its no fun, just like coughing and laughing.

Got banded yesterday also, had the hernia repaired and some adhesions removed. Stayed the night at the hospital and now home, still in pain but manageable without pain killers just cvs brand tylenol. Gas is ok not bad. Hoping for a speedy recovery. Good luck to all.

I was banded 4 hours ago and I'm not hungry yet either, but my docs orders nothing by mouth until tomorrow morning. Good luck to you.

My dietitian told me to buy breath strips before surgery, because after for about a month I will have bad taste in my mouth and bad breath. But she didn't say why.

I got a few samples from my nutritionist. Unjury doesn't give you anything for free.

Yeah it tastes good and gas 28 grams of protein.
