  • It's all just a matter of individual taste, what's good to one person tastes like barf to another. I really hated about 6 different brands I tried and settles on the Boost! shakes (available nearly

No i havent!! All I am doing is collecting samples to taste once I am!! LOL. That way I don't waste too much money -_-

I ordered two things of the chicken unjury and one of the mixed samples.... I hope I like the chicken one but I am going to need something right after surgery, I also bought some of the cytomax clear drinks like 4ALongerLife mentioned (not a case though). so the only large thing I bought was the chicken broth, but I really like broth and I keep hearing great things about it, the best part is that they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee or your money back. I am waiting to try all of them after surgery because yeah I heard a lot of people say taste changes).

I ordered the same sample pack :). I hope I like the broth too as I haven't seen many websites with as great reviews. I plan to buy about three more sample packs and then see how they are pre-op. I start my Opti-Fast diet in 4 days...pray for me! I hope I can make it through this!! ;)

You are in my prayers! You will be fine, hand in there!

Thats what ive heard so im just going to wing the protien after the surgery....

EAS shakes, Atkins Advantage and Muscle Milk light have been the best for me so far on the 14 day pre op liquids. Oh Yeah shakes are thick and super sweet, but have a ton of protien.

Thank you!!

EAS carb control chocolate, tastes like a YoHoo (to me), slightly less in protien than some others but still has 17g per carton. they also sell a 24 gram version but they are harder to find.

I'm a very glum as there is a VERY limited variety of protein shakes/soups etc here- and the country shipping rules state that I cannot order and import foodstuffs online either. :-(

I'd love to try the unjury chicken soup.... something salty appeals more than sweet, but no luck.

I can get something called organiquelle,some isopure stuff including the clear ones in glass bottles, some EAS lite ready-mixed shakes, some Atkins ready-mixed shakes and Nitrotech powders.

I just HOPE there will be something I actually LIKE out of these....

Thanks everyone! Keep the recommendations coming! :)

Personally, I have found the EAS and Atkins the best. I did sample some of the unjury stuff at my preop class, it was ok. I do have some of the purple isopure in the fridge, but I'm scared to drink it. The little bits in the bottle kinda irk me...I have it in my mind that's it's going to be like drinking tapioca. I am now day 7 in my 14 day pre op diet. I have found that high protein soups that are drained, with just drinking the broth, is like a treat to me! Good luck!!!!!

I forgot to mention...stores carry these test tube looking things of protein "shots"...the grape ones aren't too bad. I can't do the orange ones...very sickining sweet.

Tried some Chike Protein shakes the past couple of days & really like them. I had banana Magic (oh yummy, even my girls tried a sip & loved it), chocolate Bliss (pretty good too) and strawberry Burst (again, I loved it & so did my girls!).

If you go to this link, you can order 5 samples for only $6.95 shipping! They are great!
