My surgeons' office sells Bariatric Advantage products, and I was wondering if anyone had used any of their stuff and if it tastes good. I'm still pre-band, so I am looking for good sources of Protein powders and tasty shakes to drink pre and post op. Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Hi there,

I've not tried their Protein stuff, but I do use their Vitamins and Calcium products. Very good and has everything that we band patients require. vitamins and calcium are very good. I get the wild cherry calcium and the berry flavored vitamins. So far as Protein shakes go, I get unjury. Check them out aUNJURY Medical Quality whey Protein Isolate. Great Tasting Whey Protein supplements for Everyday Health! High Protein and High Quality.I really like the flavors but you don't get a lot so I may be trying some of the nectar brands. I hear they taste pretty good.

Hope that helps.

One of the reps was at a support group I went to this past week. She didn't say much about Protein stuff, but we did sample some of their Vitamins. They were not too bad - the calcium chew thing was outstanding!

I did want to mention that she talked about a pre-op Vitamin that they make that helps get your levels evened out and gets you used to taking a supplement. I am not sure how it tastes because we did not sample that one, but it might be worth looking into.

Good luck!

I started my Pre-Op three days ago and that's what my Doctor's office has us use. I bought the strawberry, the chocolate, the vanilla and the banana that way I could have variety. They all are good. I couldn't believe it. I rotate the flavors so that I won't get sick of one kind. I use Water to mix them but you can use skim milk also. Hope this helps.

I use BA and Unjury. I like them both. BA has vitamins and carbs. For lunch I mix the vanilla of one or the other) with 2 cups of frozen strawberries and sweet'n low and skim milk n a blender. It taste like a milk shake to me. It with BA it comes to 320 calories and with Unjury it is 280. It does stop me from craving bad things. I have also used the chocolate of both with skim milk and sugar fee carmel syrup and ice in a blender ( sometimes I add instant de-caff coffee graduals to it) BA is 220 and Unjury is 180.
