New To The Site, Have 3 Months To Go..

Hello everyone, I have finished my preop appointments and just got my approval for surgery :-D... Unfortunately I still have to wait because my surgery is not until January 2013. :-(

That feels like so far away, but I am glad I found this site. I am still scared especially for when I have to do the liquid diet before surgery. I know that it's not going to be easy but I hope to find someone néw fiends here and get some helpful advice. Does anyone have any suggestions on good tasting Protein? Or at least one that does not leave such a chalky after taste?

Hi Marilyn unjury is pretty good. I just got so Chike samples today but I haven't tried them yet

I am hoping for January as well. Last physician weigh in is Dec 1

Syntrax Nectar are more like a flavored beverage, not thick or chalky!

Oh ok. I've never heard of that brand before, but I will definitely look into it. My doctors office sells injury and I was hoping to buy their starter kit and try them out

Hello, my doctors office has Unjury and I'm planning on buying their starter kit. I don't want to go wasting my money on full size containers. I've read some reviews on Unjury and so far it has great reviews.

If you want to make sure, go to their website and you can get a variety sample pack. I copied this from another website but the phone number is listed on there, that way you know what flavors you like before you buy:

We are currently offering a one time only, limit one per person special on the nectar ‘Variety Sampler’ containing 13 full serving packets of the following flavors: Apple Ecstasy, Caribbean Cooler, Crystal Sky, Fuzzy Navel, Lemon Tea, Pink Grapefruit, Roadside Lemonade, strawberry Kiwi, Twisted Cherry, chocolate Truffle, Strawberry Mousse, vanilla Bean Torte and Latte Cappuccino. The price is $13.00. The Nectar Variety Sampler receives FREE SHIPPING and orders typically arrive in 2-5 business days via UPS Ground. If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please give us a call at 866-333-7403 x 801. Our hours are Monday - Friday, 8am - 5pm Central time.

Yeah, I like them because I pretend I'm just sipping on lemonade or a juice; it really doesn't taste like protein. And they have about 23 grams of protein and are low carb/sugar.

That's awesome. Thank you for that information. I will be looking that up now. :-)

I tried buying that Pure Protein that's premade in a little bottle. Got a chocolate flavor and it took me forever to try to drink it. It has 23 grams of protein but I wasn't feeling the flavor. :-) I was buy another flavor and try that next time.

I have not tried that brand but I will tell you I love chocolate but when it comes to protein shakes, I can't do chocolate! weird. It may just take you experimenting some. I didn't think I would like the lemonade or ice tea or grapefruit flavor cause they just seemed weird for a protein but guess what? i loved them and actually bought the canisters. Since it is a thin liquid like consistency, it makes them so much easier to drink them and get your protein in. Good luck!

Guelia1279 you can doctor up your shakes with sugar free syrups. I bought the Premeire Protein chocolate also and put one in the freezer it came out like icecream. I also mixed one with Decaf coffee and it wasn't to bad, and you can add Splenda . Check out this site for flavor drops that don't have added sweetener to them http://capellaflavordrops.com/flavordrops.aspx

I sent all of you a friend request. I had to do the 6 month diet monitoring and will be finished with that at the end of January so I should have my sleeve in February. The waiting is driving me nuts.

Hi Marilyn,

I like EAS Lean 15 vanilla Cream. It doesn't give me a chalky taste at all. I mix it with SF almond milk or non-fat milk. I picked it up at Walgreens.

Oh ok.. I picked up Pure Protein bottles that are chocolate flavored. I love chocolate but I do not like how this tastes. I'm trying to find one or two that I like now so I won't be struggling through my liquid diet when I have to start. :-)
