I also bought some of the Syntrax nectar. Not sure if it will work for Clear liquids (will ask my NUT when I go for my pre-op class next week). If its not okay'd for clears, I'm sure it will be okay for full. I also bought different brands of the unflavored to mix with broths. I went on BJs Bariatrics, unjury, and Nashua Nutrition to order sample packs.

When's your surgery scheduled for? I'm June 27th.

Anything that says whey Protein is top notch. Your taste changes after surgery so your best bet is to buy samples and try them out. I know the market is confusing. I love chocolate, but since surgery, I can honestly tell you that it's too sweet now. I stick with vanilla or strawberry. You just have to try. Good luck :-)

my favorite is Chike. i went through a lot before i found one that actually tasted good. but everyone has different taste. its a trail and error kind of thing. I got samples of a lot from a local hospital. they were like 2.50 a piece so I didn't waste a whole lot on something that i wouldn't drink. good luck! as fa a the clear goes, i dont really know. for 3 or 4 days after surgery i was doing good to get Water and broth down. I threw up a lot! but that was a side effect of anesthesia! That stuff is brutal on my body! http://www.chikenutrition.com/

What ever you buy you need to get it from a place you can return them if you dont like them. It all depends on your tastes. GNC has a great return policy. I prefer Gold Standard 100% Whey from ON. I like strawberry and Cookies and cream was pretty good too. The milk chocolate was good mixed with PB2 but it was gritty. I didnt like the bananna.

Hope that helps.

thats all i used with Chike. If you use hot Water with the chocolate, it taste like hot cocoa. the strawberry and vanilla are also good. this is the only brand that i found that wasnt chalky bitter or had a horrible aftertaste.

I like Cytosport whey isolate in the Tropical flavor - it's a ready to drink that to me tastes better than Isopure. I get it at the Vitamin Shoppe. They also make tangerine and watermelon. Its not a sweet at the other flavored shakes which is why it's my one of my go to Proteins. Also, the Unjury chicken broth makes for a great break from the shakes too and falls under the full liquid.< /p>

Premier shakes from costco are tasty, low sugar, not bad on the calories and high in Protein. They are pre mixed, however.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
