I ordered the "sample pack" it was around $25 and came with a shaker cup. I think, 15 different samples. I hated the Roadside Lemonade and the peach icedtea....some ppl love it.

I really liked the berry smoothie mix, and the cantalope melon mix and the belgium chocolate.

I didn't order anything in bulk, I wasn't in love with anything that much to commit to 2 lbs. of the stuff.

Once I'm on solids I might order some of the meals and check them out.

My personal favorite is Muscle Milk Light (GNC) it doesn't have the whey Protein isolate, like my nutritionist says I should be using, but it still has 25 gms protein in 2 scoops w/ 10 oz of milk. Love the banana cream and vanilla cream. Also love the Isopure pre-bottled Water with whey protein isolate in grape flavor (20 oz. bottle w/ 40 gms protein!!) The best i've found yet, in my opinion.

kinda pricie..$3.99 per bottle they (GNC) just had a sale buy 1/get 50% off another.

I just noticed you were banded....Congratulations!

I made my first order from BE. I got some things I heard people mention here, when they come in I'll let you know. They seem to run slow on shipping, so I'm glad I ordered this far in advance.

I didn't see the sample pack, I may have liked that better. I did get-the main reason for going there- those test tubes of shots of flavored Protein. So far I have not found a single protein food/drink/mix that I could tolerate.. I really hate the tastes (I went to a Vitamin shop today and had a sample of something the lady working told me I'd like.. I didn't.. and then some chocolate chip proten bar, blech.).. So I thought if I can't find a powder I'll be happy with, I'll get those little shots, and I can do one swig shots.

I use quite a few of the product BE carries. My favorite everyday drink is nectar Capacino mixed in my morning coffee. I also like the Belgian Choc. mixed in coffee.< /p>

The Whey Gourmet powders are wonderful....I'm partial to the Peanut Butter chocolate myself.

If you like fruits, you might like the Fuzzy Navel mixed with SF Lemonade...wonderful sometime drink to sip on.

The Matrix Orange Cream is a nice light, not to tart not to sweet, flavor....I mix mine (and most of the other cream flavors) with Water and ice and run them thru the blender.

There are lots of good recipes for using the powders on the BE site...

Thanks, ya'll....that's great to get me started! That Whey Gourmet PB chocolate sounds delish!!

WASabubblebutt - you can make your own cheese crackers that probably taste better and a lot cheaper! Put a piece of parchment paper over a cookie sheet. Use whatever semi-hard cheese you like and cut into 1/2" cubes. Place them on the cookie sheet about 2" apart then put them in the oven until melted and bubbly. Drain off grease (there will be a lot) and let cool (and harden). Voila! Crackers!

OK - Y'all are going to think I own stock or something - but I love my homemade protein Water - and I make it with those little liquid Protein shots.

1 tube "New Whey 42 gram" by IDS - Orange flavor

1 bottle Propel w/calcium

Mix in 1 liter bottle. Add filtered tap Water to fill bottle. shake.

I drink this stuff every day while I am at work.

you can get the New Whey at http://www.dpsnutrition.net/get_by_79.htm

I really DON'T own stock or have any connection to either IDS or DPS nutrition... I just think that the 42 gram Protein Shots are the coolest thing since sliced bread.< /p>

ReneBean: I don't know if you have a Big Lots anywhere near you, but they have (or at least all three around me do right now) the Propel Calcium Water in at least three flavors (strawberry, Melon and Lemon) for 70 cents a bottle, a HUGE savings! They also have Fuze fitness water for 69 cents a bottle.

Thanks, Faith!

I get mine at Sams - by the flat it comes out to even less than that, I think. :] The ones with calcium come in different flavors - berry, orange and tropical? I can't remember the third flavor - but it is good.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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!
