What is the best protein powder to use for the clear liquid diet after a gastric sleeve procedure? I need help my surgery is scheduled for February 5th and I want to be prepared before then. Any and all help is needed and welcomed.

I hope I don't get slain for this recommendation, but I think these are good...( vets - please feel free to correct me )

Pre surgery I would've loved the berry and grape. Post not so much. Love the coconut one though. As for powders I like the syntrax ones. You can buy a variety pack on Amazon. Lots of fruit flavors. Most powders aren't going to be completely clear. More suited for full liquid phase

I hated Bai, like Meatloaf, I too can do many things but I Won't Do THAT. And there sits an additional one on my fridge shelf, well I'M NOT TOUCHING IT. I like Strawberry , I like lemon, but the combination smells and tastes like that red furniture oil Mama used when I was little, never ever even planned drinking that stuff. I also do like Ensure's protein clearish waters. Less protein than shakes but still has sizable. Comes in Fruit Punch and Blueberry pomegranate, about $6-7 in price for 4,I think. Do most of my shopping at Wally World so that's usually whose prices I quote.

I like isopure infusions powder. it is 20g a scoop. there are a few flavors, but the citrus lemonade is my fave. I also drank bone broth following surgery. Pre-made bottled premier protein clear tropical punch is another fave, but I found that its was too sweet post-op so I would water it down. I am going to find and try syntrax and protein20 next. I have moved on to shakes now but I feel kind of blah after having an entire shake. I find that I tolerate protein water the best right now.

I also liked the Premier Clear (20 grams of protein) prior, but found them too sweet after and had to water them down. I also liked Swanson Sipping Bone Broths (9 grams of protein and 45 calories) for a non-sweet option. For protein powders I use Genepro, it is a smaller scoop and seemed easier to blend without clumps into my soups, broths and tea. Make sure and mix it into a cold/cool liquid and add to anything heated. I have also added it to sugar free jello for protein jello shots.

Good luck!!
