LiquaCel packets?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering what the general consensus was about LiquaCel packets. I travel a lot for work and these look convenient, just wondering about taste, flavors, etc. Want to have something that mixes readily with bottled Water that isn't a shake or pudding. Thanks!

LiquaCel does not taste good. LOL. I recommend the peach mango or watermelon if you get any. If you go to the manufacturers site, you can get a sample of all 5 flavors for 5$. It is not a "complete" Protein (it's collagen), so it can't fully replace Protein Shakes, but good if you need a boost for the day or if you are traveling short-term. Unjury sells individual shake packets, too. Liquacel is nice because it is one ounce and you're done. But it tastes like medicinal goop. Bearable... You don't have to mix it with anything. In fact I recommend you don't. The flavor is not good and it is thick gel. Just slurp it from the pouch in 2 seconds and be done. Like taking cold medicine.

I've tried the Unjury and I really don't like them. They have a weird after-taste to me. Thanks for the tip on the sampler. I'll give that a try.

You either LOVE them or HATE them. There's no in between. I personally can't stand them but people in my office LOVE them! I need to dilute them quite a bit to get them down. You should definitely try them out to see which team you're on. Let us know!

Some other options you might want to look at:

1) Liquid Protein concentrate like https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/bariatric-predigested-protein-liquid-protein/products/bariatricpal-fruit-drink-15g-protein-concentrate-jumbo-variety-pack

2) Protein Shots like https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/bariatric-predigested-protein-liquid-protein/products/bariatricpal-15g-protein-shots-variety-packs

We have some other liquid options at https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/bariatric-predigested-protein-liquid-protein as well.

I had peach-mango liquidcell while at OSU last month, I could stand that flavor , tried 2 other flavors, a fruit punchy one and grape. If I hadn't worried about somebody falling, I would have dumped them out on the floor!

And watch out for the 15 gram liquid drink. Sorry Alex but that "Apple" has a strange aftertaste I could not stand to drink.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
