has anyone tried the soy protien at wal mart? Out here in the sticks all we have is wal mart unless I drive an hour. I saw the soy protien the other night and it seemed to be loaded with protien and the soy should be good for me.

thanks...cat

Thanks for all of the input guys. I have ordered some of the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury samples, but I haven't tried them yet. I am sure gonna check into the others you guys mentioned. I am trying to find my favorites before surgery so I will be ready. Thanks again for all the help.

I just got my first order from Unjury this is how I used one of the chocolate packs:

1 pack chocolate unjury

1 container light vanilla yogurt

1 container (fill the above container with 1/2% milk)

1 container of chipped ice

2 packs splenda

Pulsed blender with all the above in it. VERY GOOD

I am going to try the vanilla and strawberry in somewhat the same way.

I love the unjury and ordered full containers after trying the samples. I'm going to pick up some Isopure at GNC tomorrow as I think the samples I got from Vitalady had the wrong instructions of mix (they said it was a full serving, but it only mixed with 4 oz of water). The Unjury chicken broth is surprisingly good and I plan on taking that for the plane trip to and from Mexico.

I got some of the Atkins RTD last night and had it for Breakfast and I'm still full 4 hours later :)

Just purchased Muscle Milk Light from GNC. I hesitated to purchase a big container and then hate it! The Vanilla Cream is good! Shook it up with some skim milk and now I'm getting my extra pre-band Protein and it tastes good.

I really liked the sample strawberry from Unjury.

I also just purchased a "sample" pack of 15 different protein mixes from bariatriceating.com.

It also includes a drink shaker. It cost $26.00, I'm sure it will be worth it, then I'll know what I do and don't like. The nectar fruit flavors sound good, any one tried these yet?

I have purchased about 20 samples from bariatriceating.com, some of the Unjury, and some samples from somewhere else because I thought I was going to have my surgery this month, but now I'm not going to get to have it for a year. But, I'm trying to drink 2 Protein Drinks per day and eat one good meal. I've lost 7 lbs in the past week, so it's working very well without the band for now. My cardiologist said I could lose the weight without the surgery in a year if I worked at it. However, we all know how easy that will be, NOT!

I use Now whey Protein Isolate 100% Pure Natural Unfavored

It will dissolve easily in any thing and has no taste I mix mine in my carnation instant Breakfast or chicken broth the carnation instant breakfast are different flavors so it works well. there is 25 grams of Protein per scoop. The isolate protein is the purist and best form but is more expensive. I ordered 5 lbs on line from http://www.nutritiongeeks.com/whey-p...olate-now.html It is 81 scoops and cost about $41.00 with the shipping it is also avalable in 1lb for less. My dietitian told me to take 1 scoop per day but to spread it out though the day. She said it is something you should take for life.The price isn't bad considering it last about 2 1/2 months.

      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.
