Bolthouse Farms Mocha Cappuccino
on 2/25/08 1:39 am - Ohio, OH
I have tried several protein drinks and all of them make gag. The only thing so far that I can drink is Bolthouse Farms Mocha Cappuccino. It does have coffee in it. Can we drink coffee post op? How about after surgery?
I looked at this the other day at the grocery store. We really are not suppose to have caffeine and this has caffeine.Also watch the sugars. I took this info from their website.

www.enjoyhealth.com -- I ordered their 21-flavor pack which gave me a chance to try out the Nectar and Champion flavors. I found a couple that I loved.
www.bariatriceating.com -- They also have samples at reasonable prices. I ordered about a dozen different flavors from their ale-carte selection.
www.vitalady.com -- I haven't ordered from her, but I hear that many have had great success with her samples as well.
GNC -- They have a few varieties for sale but also often have samples under the counter that they give away. I was in my local GNC the other day and mentioned I was having problems finding a vanilla brand that I loved and the sales clerk gave me 5 packages of 2 different brands of powder to try. For free.
Also, if you're a part of a support group locally, ask the members to all bring you a scoop of their favorite in a ziploc baggie. This will let you try a variety without cost and they are always more than happy to help a fellow newbie out!
I am 4 weeks out and finally found 1 powder that I LOVE (Champion Cookies -n- Cream) so I've only bought 1 jar of powder (best price at www.allstarthealth.com). Otherwise I've been living on samples.
--------------------------- Since this post, I've also found that I love the Nectar Chocolate Truffle and the Nectar Cappuccino --- I fix them as hot drinks and have one in the morning to help settle my usual morning tummy grumbles. (I cant' do solid food first thing in the morning, but a hot drink helps to clear out the mucus build up from overnight and set me up for a good pouch day.) Good luck! Pam
