Liquid supplement
i got my date! January 13! I will be starting my liquid diet a week before and wondering what is a good drink. I was thinking I would do premixed stuff. I currently use a French vanilla powder with unsweetened almond coconut milk and strawberries. I will have to do away with the fruit in at and since The amount you can have afterwards is small, I figured it was easier to buy prepare. Any good suggestions, I really don't like milky tasting things.
Congrats on your date. It will be here before you know it and we will be sliding down on the loser's bench.
Check out some of the Syntrax proteins. They have a bunch of fruit flavors. My favorites are Lemon Tea and Caribbean Cooler. You can order samples from Syntrax and see what you like. There really aren't any prepared proteins I like. My Drs support group did a tasting night and that was helpful. But be prepared for your taste to change after surgery. Not sure why that happens, but it almost universally does. Our group was also very specific about it being 100% whey protein after surgery, but I would think before you would want something that was a meal replacement instead of just a protein drink. Our pre-surgery diet was 5 optifast shakes a day and 1 small food meal. Then we just did one day of clear liquid the day before surgery.

HI, awesome! My date is the 17th of December-TWO Days. I am second day clear liquids. One more after this. uggh.
I know my tastes may change but for now I like syntrax products, love the grape. www.si03.com They may have a sample box still and for cheap. Also Bariatric advantage coffee and chocolate flavors. Good luck.
