I love the chocolate Mousse! LOL I add powder Peanut Butter to it... delish! What do you to mix it with? Did you like that Orange Cream? I just bought a tube of it today. I buy it at a local pharmacy...they stock all flavors. How did you hear about fusion btw?

I mix all Protein powders with fat free milk. And yeah, the orange cream was pretty good.

My doc sells bariatric fusion. They also have all the flavors, in tubs and packets.

SJ, that's the one I wanted to try. The cappuccino. I did not like the cinnamon one. And I didn't like the unflavored unjury but I heard the chix soup was good but he was out. Did u end up getting the unjury starter kit?

The cappacino one tastes almost like cappacino. It was the first one in tried and the one I go back to the most. :) I still have the strawberry shortcake, mint choc ice cream, and vanilla to try.

I don't think I like the unjury unflavored either. I can smell It or something.

No. I haven't yet. I think I'm going to order it though. I dunno. The $8 shipping on $21 is kind of silly. Haha. I got the unflavored unjury at my docs office.

I do not like pre-made shakes. If my insurance approves those I am going to certainly try but the bariatric shakes I get here locally are really good. I like to doctor my shakes up anyways. So I am always adding to them. Because those powders are expensive I often use 1/2 scoop and add greek yogurt to it along with other ingredients to up the Protein. Does your insurance cover Premier? What other powders have you tried? Have they all been bariatric shakes??

So that's a no. Premier is the most recommended RTD shake on this site. I love it with a splash of torani sf raspberry syrup and it has 30g carbs.

Some ppl, like me, aren't allowed Greek yogurt on their preop. But I'll definitely give it a try after I'm cleared to.

I've tried unjury, about time, new direction, bariatric fusion and Bariatric Advantage. The only one that didn't make me gag or make me sick was about time. It has like 5 ingredients and you can pronounce every one. Uses stevia as a sweetener.

I didn't use it pre op (the greek yogurt) I wasn't allowed either. I don't like pre made shakes because in past experience, pre-made shakes have always had a gritty taste plus I am very happy with Fusion. If my insurance approves it will be the only way I try it. I think it would be beneficial to have a pre made shake (in my purse/car) available for times when I can't get to my kitchen blender and I am in a pinch to get something into my stomach.

I honestly prefer using whole foods and plant Proteins to make my own shakes b/c many of those shakes have a lot of fillers and other ingredients I can't pronounce.

My friend recommended Unjury but I am happy with Fusion so I am not really shopping around for anything else.

Honestly.. the shakes are the only thing my stomach doesn't do flips when it hits my belly so I have been primarily doing shakes even though I have been cleared for a soft diet.

BTW, how much are those Premier shakes?

At our class they had so many but the ones I WANTED to try were not there. My nut brought samples from her own supply so we didn't feel like we were forced into buying their office's brands they carry

Right about $19.88 for a 12 pk at SAMs. You may look up about time. It's tryabouttime.com. That's my nut's favorite. It's the one that's gluten free, vegan and uses stevia as it's sweetener. Not too bad.

Well, you should get a list together of the stuff you wanna try and I'll send a goody package. :)

Cool. I'm thinking you could get more there and I'll pay you for the price. Although we got to TASTE different things, my dr office only sells New Direction and Barf-Bariatric Advantage. Lol

Gimme a list by Monday and I'll get up there monday, and In the mail Monday or Tuesday. :) I have to go there anyways. my doc carries the ProtiDiet (I can get you a sample package of that. I'll take a pic of the list of samples I can chose from, for you) and then packets (and tubs) of the Bariatric fusion powders.

Will do. I know I want those 2 protidiets that you liked best and I wanna try the cappuccino so bad. I was told I can add instant decaf to it and give it more flavah flave!! Ooh, and my torani syrups.

I need to try that!! (Decaf and the cappacino). And I really need to get some torani syrups. Where do you buy em? I'd prefer to try and find some at a store, instead of ordering since I'm a procrastinator and am running out of time. Lol

Girl, I got mine at walmart on the coffee aisle. Be careful n make sure you get the sugar free. They have a minimal selection at walmart. If you have a whole foods or central market, they have shit-tons there.

Stupid technology.

Closest whole foods is on the other side of the state, or in Chicago. Buuuut, I gotta go to wally world tomorrow. I'll check it out.

I got raspberry, vanilla and hazelnut. Omg. Yummy. If you add raspberry to chocolate pudding it's delish. Or to vanilla yogurt. I'm just sayin.
