Pre-op protein question & what is Nectar?

[deardraya 37]

Hello! I am scheduled to have my sleeve done on June 4th. I’m starting to gather things that I need. The book my surgeon gave me is a bit small & doesn’t explain what I would do with unflavored Protein. What Proteins taste okay and what about nectar? chicken Soups? Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I just had my surgery May 1st, but I think that i can help answer your questions. The unflavored power like Isopure is great to make your own Protein Shakes or to add to any foods for extra Protein (like cottage cheese or refried beans). It really helps if you find some of your pre-surgery protein shakes too sweet post-surgery. The nectar which could be referring to Syntrax Nectar is good for the variety of flavors that they sell. Some of the flavors taste more like kool-aid or frozen cocktails. There is a coffee one that I want to try. I don't know about chicken Soup? ?? I can have cream of chicken Soups the first 2 weeks, but they market some that have 15g of protein on this site. Who knows???

Injury is one of the brands for the chicken Soup. People in the know say it is very good, not sure of the price.

Yes, Unjury brand does have a chicken Soup flavor and they sell sample packets for $2 and some odd cents or a tub for like $22 I think. I've heard alot of people say it was a life saver after surgery because everything else tasted way too sweet.
