powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury makes a great chicken Soup, good amount of Protein and very good flavor.

Tomato might be more acidic than the others, but as long as you are aware of it, you should be fine. I also drank my shake mix with warm milk, like hot chocolate the first week, it went down easier for me.

Congratulations on your surgery!!

I'm 3 days out from surgery as well. I bought some Pacific brand Tomato Soup and I add dry milk to increase the Protein. I also have Unjury chicken Soup protein.

Spllit pea Soup is another option. Not low carb, but naturally high in Protein. I just put Water or chicken stock in the crockpot, add peas, chopped celery, shredded carrots, salt, pepper and garlic. cook for 8-12 hours, you can use an emersion blender to blend up the veggies if any chunks remain. My nut said it was ok for liquid as long as I thinned it way down. It was the thing that saved me with my lapband, I think I was on liquids for 4-6 weeks, including before and after and I was soooo sick of sweet.

A couple things from my Nutritionist....

Add 2 TBSP of Non Fat DRY Milk to any Soup and it adds 6g of Protein right off the bat. It won't effect the taste that much, it will just make it appear creamier.

Here are a couple recipes she gives us....

Serving Size is 1/2C: Everything strained the first two weeks

I Can of low fat or fat free cream of chicken soup

1 C skim-1% Milk

A dash of Chipotle sauce from a can of chipotle peppers

1 TBSP Protein powder

Makes 4 servings that have 9g/Fat, 8g/Protein, 19g/ Carbs, 140/Calories

Cream of chicken Soup: Same as above minus the Chipotle and she makes note that with the Protein Powder it will increase the Protein content

Italian broth

4ounces chicken broth (or veggie or beef)

1/2 tsp grated Romano cheese

Dash of Black pepper

1 TBSP protein powder

1g/fat, 9g/protein, 1g/Carb, 25/Cal

High Protein Soup

1/3 C non fat dry milk powder

1 tsp Chicken or beef bouillon

2 TBSP protein powder

1 C hot Water

Just some ideas....

What's cheaper unjury or Syntrax

Syntrax is about 16$ for 1 lb.

Unjury is about 21$ for unflavored, flavors are slightly more.

Haven't tried the unflavored Syntrax yet but all reviews say it's undetectable in most things. And it's also medical grade Protein. I assume unflavored means no sweetener... I can update once I get it in the mail. :)

unjury is about 21 for unflavored' date=' flavors are slightly more.[/quote']

Flavors are about 32-33 on Amazon, but it's a 2lb container, so by volume is about the same.

As for the question about syntrax's medical unflavored taste, no it is not sweet at all. It is the most undetectable unflavored whey Protein I've tried.

Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to get my shipment today or tomorrow... I started my preop diet early and I'm already sick of these shakes!! Its gonna be a longgg 2 wks. Well, longer than that, considering post op diets .. I hope the unflavored powder works out. I tried the chocolate/pb from body fortress and its starting to make me gag! :(

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
