I suggest trying them preop first. Isopure was the only thing that made me gag after surgery.....horrible aftertaste. Some people say they are better if you dilute them with Water and/or drink them ice cold, but IMO Syntrax nectar tastes MUCH better. unjury chicken broth is another good clear liquid and warm stuff went down better for me anyways.Ok... I have that unjury chicken broth... I thought maybe mixing it with chicken broth with Protein instead of water to get in that more protein... I will go to GNC to try an isopure before pre-op... thx for tips Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using the BariatricPal App

Did your surgeon make recommendations based on health history and eating habits? Maybe venture over to the bypass forum and see what are talking about regarding their decision on bypass.... I know for me I was lap band vs sleeve.... my health history of for a woman is open heart surgery at age 40 2.5 years ago, along with HTN, gout, OSA, depression w/ anxiety , I'm a meat/ potatoes kinda girl...I read gastric sleeve book off Amazon(awesomeness) help me reach my decision in stone...
