I L.O.V.E beneProtein the unflavored stuff. I buy it at my hospital where I had my suergery. Ask your NUT. if your hospital cafateria sells it. IDK where else you could find it but its great I don't taste it AT ALL!!  IDK how much it is per serving but its 8.20 for a can about the size of the carnation instant breakfast cans or like the slimfast canned powders.  I add it to soups and well all sorts of food like beans and stuff.

Hello all!  Scheduled for a realize band on 6/9/2010 and have started a pre-op liquid diet.  I am looking for advice on the best and most moderately priced protein (whey) supps.        I have tried

Unjury       (pricey, but am buying the strawberry sorbet)       $1.11 per serving
Jillian Michaels                     @ Walmart                                           .71 per serving
Body Fortress -chocolate @ Walmart     (slightly odd taste)       .59 per serving

Has anyone tried the products at HyVee (health market section) ?    I hate buying 2 pound packages in case I hate it.     

I looked at the Vita lady website,  but it all seemed on the higher price end, and there were just TOO many choices. 


Also, do you find yourself continuing w/ protein shakes after returning to solid foods?

 He is amazing...He saved my  life here when I had complications due to my RNY back in December 04' and correction January 05'. He's a miracle worker. 

There are other alternatives.  if you know you have to self pay then check into having it done in Mexico.  That'a what myself and many other self payers do, much cheaper and safe.

Hey Amy!  I finally got approval a couple weeks ago, and have had the preop tests done, but am waiting for my PCP and Anthone's office to get coordinated with each other so I can get a date also.  I'm hoping tomorrow, but who knows.  Let me know when your date is... maybe we'll see each other in recovery!
