So far the only bump I've encountered is that I cannot yet find a single Protein Drink flavor that I like. I've only tried 2 flavors but I've been home from the hospital for just a few hours. they are both nasty. any suggestions???

I like Muscle Milk. Taste like chocolate milk. I haven't really tried any other yet, but I really liked it.

I like powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored. You can make smoothies and shakes instead of just having one flavored Protein mix everyday. For instance, this morning I had a mango strawberry smoothie and this evening I had choc-Peanut Butter banana shake. It's very versatile.

I am still pre op but have been doing alot of research on Protein Drinks because I am a picky eater.. I have looked and ordered stuff from Baratric advantage and from Celebrate baractric I think it is called.. both have great flavors (yet to taste but sound darn good) I also saw a third brand in another post but looking at their site not sure if it is same type stuff. Good luck and I am always willing to check out new sites if anyone knows of any. :)

Have you considered using vanilla and flavoring it yourself? My plan is to use vanilla and use different sugar free Torani syrups to flavor it. I'm still pre op....hope that works.

I went o the Vitamin Shoppe yesterday and bought about 6 different favors of pre-made shakes they have them in the refrigerator section and you an buy one at a time. Also bought samples from unjury and Syntrax nectar. vS carries the big jug of nectar but was afraid to commit to anything 5 lbs or over until I actually tasted it.

Also just found out that Gatorade has Protein drinks...might have to check them out as well!

You should also check out Vitalady.com she has tons of sample sizes you can order. I think I ordered like 25!!

I FINALLY after much taste testing found one I like! Syntax nectar makes Pink Grapefuit. I mix 1 1/2 scoops in 20 oz. of Water. I find it to be the best yet! And there are a lot of very disgusting ones :(

I like the juice base ones from nectar and LOVE the chicken Soup from Unjury.....They are all about 100 cal low to no carb, no sugar.. Protein is over 21 for Unjury and 34 for Nectar...

      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!!
