Help me out fellow sleevers!
My surgery date is getting closer. and luckly i only have to do a 2 day liquid diet prior to my surgery on NOV 2nd. what i would like is names of protein powders and shakes that in your opinoin were best. since i want to go out and buy a few samples to try them out and also to know what im looking for. the other day i walked in to a vitamin shop and was just completely lost and did not know what i was lookin for. so with your help i can have a little guidance. Any tips n tricks u might have or Advise u would have for me is also very welcome! Thanks again everyone!
Unjury Chocolate Splendor and Chicken Soup flavors. Both are awesome! You can order samples at http://www.unjury.com/
Hi Smiley I had a sleeve done on Oct 13. I found a tasty protein shake called Met-RX 51. It has 51 grams of protein per 15 oz can. I did not use this for my pre-op, but it has been indispensable post op when it is difficult to get in enough protein when you can only drink between a 1/4 and 1/2 c. at a time. I also use the unjury chicken soup. Quite nice. Hope this helps and good luck!
I drank and still drink premier protein. I also liked Nectar powders-they have a lot of clear liquid protein flavors. I only tried one of the Unjury drinks and that's because it was free-it was good too. I started my liquid diet 10 days prior so I would have a good start on what was to come (no food for a couple of months). The only advice I can give is that it does get better as time goes on but your mindset has to stay focused to stay the course.
My surgeon requires using their brands for the pre-op and for a while after post-op, so I've tried Bariatric Advantage, Celebrate and Unjury. I like the Bariatric Advantage in Orange Cream and the Celebrate in Deep Chocolate. The Unjury Chicken Soup was pretty good if I needed something savory, but I don't use it often.

Premier Protein RTD in chocolate or vanilla. Costco sells them for about $25.00/case. I still drink a protein shake for breakfast every day.
Everyone has different tastes so you'll have to find one that agrees with you. Good luck!

We got another case recently that is lumpy- ugh. I think I am done buying them. This makes me sad too, as they have been my go to shake for years now.
