Agree. Your stomach is probably not ready for the egg. Stick to liquids and Protein for a while. eggs were not on my plan until 3 weeks out. Stomachs need time to heal without working much to digest food.< /p>

Also, I'm down 17 pounds after the pre-op diet *bonus happy dance*

Meet that Protein goal and you should be fine!

All the Syntrax flavors I've tasted are great. But I have to admit, Isopure has a lot of Protein. If you find a flavor that you can tolerate keep a few bottles around for times your having a hard time reaching your Protein goals. And as D'Sleeved said, you can always add Splenda or stevia to help with the taste. But I personally vouch for Nectars. I have Fuzzy navel and Roadside Lemonade at the moment. Fuzzy navel tastes almost like a less sweet sunny D and Roadside Lemonade tastes exactly like lemonade.

If anything - they'll recommend therapy and clear you once they feel you are stable. Just be honest with them - most want to work with you at getting approved.

Does anybody have trouble with no caffeine? I Must have it. Day 3 of 2 week liquid and I just had 30cc of sweet tea! Omg my head is killing me!
Pity party in Albemarle tonight

I completely agree.
Great reply.

No worries.......just follow your plan. liquid in equals liquid out.....well, until the Constipation kicks in...haha. Your goal right now is to shrink the size of your liver in order to make the surgery safer. Don't worry about the number of calories....just follow the plan your surgeon provided.......Make sure you are drinking plenty.
Do not let yourself get dehydrated....drink constantly while you're awake. ....You will feel pretty awful for the first few days of your liquid diet.....but as long as you stick to the plan after about 4 days you'll start to feel better.....if you "cheat" it will delay you feeling better and also defeat the purpose of the pre-op diet....So just focus on the end result......I think of the whole process the pre-op diet was the hardest part.....Focus on that and know that it gets easier from here. Good luck to you!!!

The chocolate was pretty good.
chicken Soup was okay as long as you don't let the Water get too hot (it clumps up).
Their strawberry flavor was about the worst thing I've ever tasted in my life. One swallow and I tossed the whole can into the garbage.

I liked the chocolate splendor (I think is what they called it).......but also enjoyed the chicken flavor because you get really tired of all the sweet stuff.....I bought strawberry and never even opened it........If you lived near me I'd give you these three containers I have....hahaha I don't have to do any Protein drinks anymore.

I would say chicken except it has over 1/2 a day of sodium in one serving.

chicken broth. Heaven. Just got my starter kit from unjury today. If their unflavored mixes as well as Isopure they may be my new fav.
It is 30% sodium but let's face it at this stage I am not eating more than cottage cheese and shakes so I am good with 1-2 of these. I put in extra Water as well.
Starter kit comes with small shaker (no annoying labels on it either) and thermometer to prevent clumps in hot Water. Awesome
And can I say again yum!?
I will report back as samples of many flavors for person who asked and if I hate one I would be happy to send the other to you!

Currently Isopure is my favourite. I like the unflavoured mixed with homemade vegetable Soup I puree.

chocolate splendor is great. I would advise at least getting some packets of chicken Soup because a lot of people really don't find sweet flavors nearly as appealing after surgery.

I regularly use unjury Protein Powders which were recommended to me by a friend. After reading most of the reviews of each of the products I was interested in, and learning about the difference between whey Protein isolate and whey protein concentrate, I decided to give Unjury try and have been using them since about 6 months prior to my surgery. Fortunately, my taste for the Unjury shakes did not change after surgery, but I know it does for some. In fact, my NUT recommended not to get too stocked up on any particular Protein powder before surgery just in case my tastes for such did change.
I have been quite impressed with the flavor and quality of the vanilla, chocolate Splendor, and the chicken flavored mixes. Both taste great and mix up easily. I've been using the chocolate Splendor mixed with milk for my Breakfast and the chicken flavor mixed with some chicken bouillon for my lunch. You just have to watch the Water temperature when preparing the Chicken flavor otherwise the whey will clump. It doesn’t change the taste, just the texture which can be weird. Both are quite filling and satisfying. I have tried the strawberry Sorbet mixed with lemonade also, and liked the taste okay, but rarely use it; need to work on the amounts mixed together to fine tune the beverage to better suit my taste for strawberry Lemonade. I've also tried the Unflavored powder mixed with milk when I ran out of the chocolate. The milk still tasted like milk, and it was okay, but I did not like it as well as I do the Chocolate Splendor or vanilla mixed with milk.
Most of my protein beverages are just shaken up; I do not use a blender or make them frozen for simplicity and time sake, and the fact that I use them more at work than at home.
Some of my favorite flavor combinations are:
Vanilla Protein Powder, SF Sunrise Orange drink (it’s like an orange Dreamsicle) ½ serving Vanilla PP, ½ serving Chocolate Splendor PP ,4 oz. brewed coffee, chilled, 4 oz. skim milk Chocolate Splendor PP, 8 oz. skim milk, 1 or 2 servings PB2 ½ serving Vanilla PP, ½ serving Chocolate Splendor, 8 oz. skim milk Chicken PP with less than a serving of chicken bouillon mixed with 8-10 oz. Water at 140 degs. A great option when you’re tired of all the sweet stuff. If you are looking for a high quality, great tasting, satisfying protein powder that is better than anything you will find in the stores, then this is the product you want to purchase. You can't go wrong, especially since you can return the product if you aren't pleased with it.

That's really a very subjective question.....but to me the chocolate spendor was good.....I tried Quest brand and found it to be too sweet....so I can say it's "less" sweet than Quest. :-)
I used a candy thermometer when I made the chicken soup....I highly recommend it!

I'm planning on going to the Cheesecake Factory baby!
