I'm on my pre-op diet and sampling different Protein powders. I've tried Unjury and Syntrax Matrix, and Syntrax Matrix is WINNING! (in my Charlie Sheen voice). I'm having the Peanut Butter now for Breakfast, very yummy.

I wish I could have different Protein powders. I can only have Baractric Advantage and it's nasty. I started yesterday and so far so good but I can not stop craving mixed nuts Weird lol. Good luck to you.

Good luck to you too! My nurse said we can have any Protein Powder as long as it fits within the nutritional guidelines. When you get that nut craving, drink some chicken broth, it helps a lot.

Thanks I asked could I have anything else besides the shakes like sf Popsicles or broth. I was told no :-( they are strict.

i bought the Isopure chocolate recently, wasn't as chocolate-y as I was hoping, but it was ok... I add some SF Syrup to it for extra flavor.

Mines was a first try hit lol..I simply dispensed 8 ounces out my vue 700 threw that thermometer in it waited til it got to right at 140 degrees added my packet mixed it well than drank up. Totally delicious. I made my daughters with 8 ounces of warm almond milk still at 140ish degrees and it was heavenly. I love the fact it isn't really salty and have great flavor. Smelled like chicken broth too.

Yeah Curvy, I bought the Unjury sample packet and it came with the thermometer. I had two packets of chicken broth and I really screwed up one because the Water was entirely too hot (forgot about the thermometer lol). It was gritty and nasty. I did the second one the right way and it was delicious, nice and creamy.

Yes ma'am Sandee I loved it. Online now trying to find the Syntrax one u said u liked better than Unjury. BariWise has a ton of products that seem great for pre & post op like amaretto hot chocolate with like 21-28 grams of Protein for 1 cup. Only thing is it contains hydrolyzed Gelatin which comes from a pig in most cases and I don't consume pork. I was sooooooo disappointed.

      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.
