I really like the Syntrax Nectar mixes - they are more like a juice. Cherry and Grape are my favorite. I will say they don't mix as well as some, so I always make it in a blender bottle and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour. I also like the Isopure brand powders - Banana is my favorite. I keep a bag of the unflavored on hand to fix with soup or powerade zero. They mix really well. Th only one I found that was awful was the pineapple orange, which Amazon luckily let me send back.

Just a word of caution that many people have told me - your taste will change after surgery, so don't go crazy buying protein shakes before surgery. I found this to be true for myself - I loved the Premier Protein before surgery, by now even passing the display ins Costco makes me gag.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery!!

I like the orange flavored chew-able centrum and the twinlab calcium chews.

I loved both the chocolate and the vanilla Premier Protein drinks from Costco pre-op, but like Danie11e said, your tastes can change. The chocolate is still good, but to tolerate the vanilla I have to add the Walden Farms calorie free syrups to it. Wish I'd known before, because I have 2 whole cases still left to get through!

As for the Calcium, I like the Bariatric Advantage 500mg Peanut Butter-Chocolate chews. Only 15 calories each, and they're great for a light snack every day.

Oh, and I just ordered a starter pack of the Unjury Protein powders because of all the good things I've heard here about them. Looking forward for them to come in this week. :)
