What Protein Powders mix well.......

Hi All, I'm having surgery with Dr. Barba on May 31st, and I'm having problems with protein powders...I want one that mixes well with sugar-free kool-aid, or crystal-lite.......I have tried several that are chocolate or strawberry flavored, and I can't seem to get them down before surgery, sooooo, I know I won't be able to get it down after surgery......I think what I need is a powder that mixes really well, with no flavor....PLEASE HELP............I also went for my pre-op endoscopy on Friday, I was so nervous about the anesthia, and come to find out they couldn't get an IV line in my arm......I had 4 nurses and 8 pokes later, and no IV....So needless to say I was FREAKED-OUT.......Dr. Barba came in my little room and said, "don't poke her any more", I was soo relieved....He told me thay I could have an UGI instead........I will have to have a central line on the day of surgery, one more thing to be nervous about....Thanks for letting me vent.......((((((((HUGS))))))))) Mary

How about the Nectar ones? I would think those good good in juice. Try some samples from Susan Maria's website. I can not think of the name but it is advertised on this board. I mix the vanilla powder with the orange juice crystal light and it is like a creamsicle. Best of luck to you on May 31st. Chryssie

Thanks Chryssie, I love the orange crystal lite, I will go to Susan Maria's site, and check them out.......

Hey Mary, I use UNJURY unflavored... you can check out the website at UNJURY.COM It is the ONLY powder I can tolerate. It is completely tasteless and does mix great with drinks of sorts. They have sample packets you can buy of the different flavors. GOOD LUCK with your surgery. Dr Barba is the BEST!!!! Carrie

Hey Carrie, Thanks for the info...I have actually been on the Unjury site 100's of times, it is kind of expensive for the little amount that you get, but from what I have been reading from post-ops, Unjury is the way to go.....Do you mix it with crystal-lite???? I kind of want to kill 2 birds with one stone, by getting my protein and water in at the same time.......... Did you have surgery yet????? Thanks again, Mary

How about going to www.vitalady.com She carries tons to different proteins and just about all of them are available as a sample. Great way to try different flavors without spending a ton of money. I just got my new samples today...I can't wait to try the lemon tea one!!! Jessica
