I ordered the sample pack from Chike and it arrived the next day. That was a surprise! Anyway, just wondered how it compares with the others, if you like it, etc. I'm on my preop diet and had the orange flavor last night. I thought it tasted great. I did notice,however, that it has lots more ingredients (in the sugar family, although only 4g of sugars) than the powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, as well as higher calories -- 190.

What about SetPro? I got a couple of their fruity drink mixes. 90 cal, 18g Protein, no sugars. Are they filling? I guess after surgery that might not be such a big issue!

Any thoughts from those of you who have had the surgery? I know tastes change... :-)

Can't really answer your question, but interested in the answers you will get. I ordered the sample of the Chike products, too, and really liked them. Especially the banana. I didn't analyze the ingredients too much since I had seem them suggested on this site. But you are right, maybe they do taste a little TOO good!

You know, I think the carbs are on the high side. I've since heard people mention that their doctor said double digit Protein with single digit carbs. Chike, at least one of the flavors, had 11 grams of carbs. The SetPoint (I misnamed it) is also really good. It's more like an Orange Julius type drink. It only has 3 grams of carbs and mixes with Water. I was thinking i might order some more Chike for a treat of sorts while recovering from surgery. Did the Chike people call you? I thought that was funny, but the lady was super nice. I'm not used to it in the world of online shopping...

Nope, no one called me that I know of. I think I read about the single digit carbs, too. Seems like unjury is pretty popular, maybe I'll break down and spend the $23 or whatever for their sample packets. I think it's like $17.95 plus shipping.

Hello!

I also received the samples from Chike. The banana flavor was so good. A lady named Holly called me from Chike also. I thought that was kinda strange, but she was really sweet.

I don't start my pre-op diet until June 6th so I'm trying all the samples I can before I choose what brand to buy, and I think I may end up buying Chike. I don't mind the carbs too much since I started the couch to 5k program and I burn a lot of carbs off doing that. :)

Haven't heard of SetPoint, will have to google them.

I bought the Protein mixers, not the Meal Replacements, from SetPoint. I have had tropical mixer and orange splash. Both are 90 cal, no fat, 3g carbs, 18g protein. I am using it like a between meals protein boost and its very refreshing and tastes great to me. I think I can use it for my clear liquid diet after I'm sleeved on Thursday because it stays as clear as the Unjury chicken broth does.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
