Here is some info on Visalus- a good Protein drink. i am not a distributor, but i know one if you are interested. it is a marketing thing...but the shakes are good.

Hi, I am getting ready to have my surgery in a month. I asked my nutritionist if this would work, but she told me that it didn't have enough protein and too many carbs. Did you ask your dr or nutritionist about this? I'm wondering if she misread the package? Thanks! Can't wait to get started... and if I can use visalus I would be thrilled because it is yummy. Lisa

From what i understand, the protein is lower but it is better utilized by the body. it does taste great.

Do you think I could use visalus for the pre-op diet??

i think so. i used it pre op.

I tried it too & it really is the shake mix that tastes like a cake mix. It was SOOO good but my nut says I can't have it either.

What about BSN SYNTHA-6 isolate? Anyone heard of it?

I was told not to use it pre op only because they wanted me to find a protein powder I like... so I didn't use it... darn, because you are right- so delicious! I have not heard of the BSN Syntha-6 isolate, where did you hear about that? Is it a protein powder? I still need to find a delicious one, because who wants to drink something you don't look forward to???? Seems it will cause you to eat stuff you shouldn't if you don't find something that is more than "tolerable".
