Started my 10 day pre-op liquid diet today! Made a big mistake of getting a big tub of chocolate flavored "Gladiator" from smoothie king without testing it out first. I am NOT a fan! Any suggestions of other brands or what you did that tasted decent enough? It's 11 am of day one and I'm already complaining haha

Thanks!

Are you mixing it with Water or skim milk? I find I like any of the chocolate powders better with the milk ;)

I have found Synteax nectar are pretty yummy! If you google it you can find some good deals. I would start with sample pack as you get almost all the flavors and can tell which ones you like and go from there. At si03.com they have a 14 packet special for 15.99 I believe. And they are low(if any) in fat/sugar and like 25 grams Protein per scoop!

I use Syntrax Matrix as well. I like the Milk chocolate because its not too sweet. I mix mine with almond milk because i dont care for milk. I ordered mine from My bariatric pantry. I've been nothing but pleased with them. They have a sample pack of both the Syntrax Nectar and of the Matrix.

It's a trial and error journey right now but the right mix and flavor is out there.

Hi there! Tried the gladiator with milk today, it was better but still unpleasant :( just bought a sample pack of the syntax nectar, hoping to test that out tomorrow!

If you have a costco close to you the vanilla premier Protein... is great! Taste like tapioca pudding!

The chocolate Premier Protein is a wonderful smooth chocolate flavor!

You can taste the Vitamins in them, however they are very yummy! They have 30 grams of Protein in each shake too.

I have tried others, but these are my fav!

Has anyone had luck with a dissolvable Protein Powder? I bought what I thought was dissolvable, put it in broth, it all foamed up at the top and hardened...assuming it had to be kept cold? Who knows! Now I'm on the lookout for something unflavored and truly dissolvable!

Isopure vanilla!!!

50grams of Protein per serving (2scoops). For variety I add Torani sugar free flavor.

Best,

Sannah

      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!!
