Hello:

Here is a list that was given to me by my nutritionist:

unjury (has website)

Chike (has website)

EAS - Walmart

MetRX - Walmart

Super Boost whey Protein - Walmart

Syntrax Nectar- Amazon.com

Designer Whey

Bariatric Advantage (has website)

Optimum Nutrition (has website)

ISS Complete whey powder

Isopure Perfect Low Carb

Maximum Protein

Labrada Lean Body

Revival soy Protein Powder

these are just a few that are available. some of these will send free samples or sample packets for a small fee. Hope this gets you started. If you can search for the thread "Samples, samples, samples" someone listed about 20 different brands of shakes that we can email or call to get samples. I requested a bunch and have already began receiving them in the mail. This way you can try them before you buy or put out a considerable amount of money and you may not like all of them. Good luck.

I really liked the Unjury, it tasted great, and filled me up. I drank the chicken noodle Soup flavor for dinner and I had a hard time finishing it, I felt stuffed. The sent me a sample packet which in included a thermometer, and container to make drinks in. I have tried a few that were picked up at Wal-mart and wasn't as satisfied. Good luck!!

I really like the Designer Whey chocolate. I like the taste and that it only has 2 g of carb.

I agree with this. Unjury was the only one I loved, I tried Bariatric Advantage and took one sip and spit it out. The eas myoplex lite was tolerable. The unjury chicken soup flavor was the only thing that gave me Protein during my clear stage. I had tried the clear Protein Drinks such as Isopure and wanted to vomit

I bought a handful of samples before settling on Champion Nutrition for my favorite brand. I bought my samples at Vitalady.com. It's not the best looking site, but the prices are good and she has everything from Protein shakes, to Protein Bars, syrups, Vitamins and misc things that anyone with WLS will need. I love it because I save shipping cause they live less than 5 mins from my house. :)

Good luck, I suggest sampling before buying a bulk of something.

I started buying Protein Shakes from Market America for their Transitions Diet here is the link for the shakes. http://www.marketame...tion_shakes.htm There really good and don't have that power chalky texture and they fit into the low glycymic with the high Protein for the pre-op and post-op requirements. If you order please put in the shonnee22@yahoo.com refered you. I actually will order both the chocolate and vanilla and mix them together. For 14 servings it is 29.95 which isn't bad at all. This shake when mixed with Skim Milk has 26g of protein.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
