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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!
