During my 10 day liquid diet...I tried a few brands--my favorite was Unjury
(the chocolate, unflavored & Vanilla). I would mix 1 scoop choco, 1
scoop unflavored & 8 oz milk--mixes well & tastes great--no grit!
In the Vanilla...I added various Sugar free DaVinci syrups--such as
Amaretto, Kahluha, caramel, etc--pick what ever ones you like. I also
purchased Protidiet shakes from Bariatric Choice (they are in their own
individual bottles for on the go convenience) & protein hot cocoa &
soup. Very good! I did use a powdered peanut butter--called PB2 & added
a tablespoon to the chocolate powder & it was delicious! Just like
having real peanut butter! I love 16 lbs in 10 days pre op:) Also...I
bought a Magic Bullet to mix the shakes & also a few blender bottles
which I love & still use daily!! Best of luck on your journey!! Hugs,
Diane

Try Isopure (spelled wrong)over Ice. It's pretty good and not chalky. You
can find it at GNC

I had a hard time finding something and everyones taste is different. The
one I like now is Atkins vanilla protein shake. I add unflavored Anywhey to
add extra protein and frozen fruit. You can find a sample pack from one of
the websites(I think Bariatriceating) and that might help.Good luck.

BariatricEating.com, or BestPriceNutrition.com both have Syntrax Nectar
Protein Powder.... there is Chocolate Truffle (to die for!), and Fuzzy
Navel (really good). You can also get Any Whey Protein Powder that mixes
instantly with any liquid or soft food.... I used it in broths and jellos.
The New Whey Bullets, available at the Vitamin Shoppe, are also good, a
little thick, but mix well with Crystal Light and you can never tell
they're in there. Also, there is Oh Yeah protein shakes that are
absolutely delicious, especially the vanilla, which you can flavor with any
of the sugar-free flavorings... BariatricEating.com has a sample package
that contains a whole boatload of different protein samples, in addition to
four liquid containers of protein, along with the Before and After book by
Susan Maria Leach. It's a good book to read before surgery. And over half
of it is recipes to use after your surgery!

I too enjoy the Unjury Protein. Just go to Unjury.com I like the strawberry
sorbet and chicken soup along with the shakes someone else mentioned.

I really like Wheybolic Extreme 60 from GNC. My son also likes. I only use
1 1/2 scoops. It taste good made with water and ice or milk. No grit. Or
try this site that my friend told me about
www.dpsnutrition.net/get_item_bs060.htm. Have a great day.

I personally like WHEY GOURMET. It is whey powder with Splenda and comes
in many different flavors. My favorite is the SMOOTH PEANUT BUTTER
CHOCOLATE and CARAMEL DIP. These are available at www.BariatricEating.com
and at www.Vitadigest.com. There is also SYNTRAX NECTAR. These are fruit
flavored like Crystal Light, but are packed with protein. THe FUZZY NAVEL
and the APPLE ECSTASY are wonderful. And then there are these 3 oz. vials
of PROFECT protein that are like liquid jello and these are great to add to
Crystal Light. ANY WHEY unflavored is a good way to boost the protein in
your diet. You add this to any hot or cold beverages or food to increase
the grams of protein in whatever you are eating. If you have not logged
onto to www.BariatricEating.com yet, do so. A lot of information is
available there as well as products for the bariatric patient. God bless.

For the protein shake, I recommend the Glucerna chocolate shakes. But to
bring in some variety, I also recommend that you try having some broth
(chicken boulion cube in hot water with some hot sauce was my favorite) and
sugar free popsicles. Mix it up a bit! The first two or three days are
the worst, so hang in there!!!

Protein is truly a personal taste and after Surgery...your tastes change
drastically at first...I couldn't even OPEN the jar of protein powder after
surgery without gagging...and drinking it was not an option...I suggest you
go to a vitamin store and get samples where ever you can and try them
yourself, until you find that one you love...THEN I still would not stock
up until after surgery when you know you STILL like it! Plus I became
lactose intolerant after RNY and that made it impossible to drink whey
without a belly ache EVEN if I could choke some down...But that was just my
experience...Good luck! Most of them are above and beyond gross to me! LOL

I know GNC brand protien powders are pretty tasty. So are Vitamin World's
except for the chocolate. It has a really strong taste.

Hi, Tamica. I LOVE the Atkins protein drink--and if you live near a
WalMart--they are the cheapest there.
Good luck!

I use only unjury unflavored protein powders. I used to mix with milk, now
I mix with nestles flavored waters. I couldn't have done this without
unjury. The others made me feel queezy. The artificial sweeteners really
bothered me. Good luck!

Be careful of "protein" drinks like Slim Fast and Ensure. They
are full of sugar. I also think Unjury was good but usually made my own.
It's cheaper and you can create a drink to your own taste.

IDS New Whey Liquid Protein. It's 42 grams of protein in 3 oz of liquid.
You either drink it down like a "shooter" or mix it with water.
They are clear as opposed to milky, don't have that smell that some find so
offensive post-op. I wish I had tried them on day one. I have one every day
now and can be pretty much assured of getting enough protein every day. It
just makes that one goal easily attainable.
As for all the whey protein powders and ready-to drink liquids, just find a
GNC or some other outlet that will let you try samples or will promise to
let you return the giant canister if you hate the stuff. Also, do an
online search and find the companies that will send you samples. You will
need to decide for yourself which ones you like--or can tolerate-- and
which ones you hate.
When you are mixing the powders, be sure to mix very well (blender, magic
bullet, stick blender, etc. When you are allowed, mix in frozen berries or
other fruit and ice if you need to make it cold and slushy. It makes them
much easier to drink. Also, no straws but if you can put them into a sippy
or commuter cup with a lid, they are easier to drink. If you can't smell
it, it's not so bad. (And that passes after awhile anyway.)
I hope this helps. Good luck!

We certainly all are different and have to find what works for us. It will
continue to be a challenge, even more so, after surgery. Your tastes may
change then. Here is what I do, even 11 months post-op, and I have tried it
all. I drink the protein bullets. They have 42-45gr of protein in 3 ozs.
WHILE HOLDING MY BREATH, I drink back half of one. We can only absorb about
25gr at a time anyway. Later in the day I drink the other half. I take a
swallow of water or something else after to get rid of the taste. It is
quick and painless.:)That gives you 42gr so you are almost there for the
day.

I mix the nectar fuzzy navel or vanilla with 1/4 c simply orange juice and
serve over crushed ice. It tastes like an orange julius.

I hate protein powders! There, I've said it. Mix it with whatever you
want, but I still hate it, LOL. Once I tasted the clear liquid Isopure
drinks (especially Apple Melon!) I can't imagine putting myself through the
yukkies ever again. Plus, there's like 40g of protein in them. If I had
to have a meal replacement drink, the only ones I could handle well were
Glucerna butter pecan (and sometimes their chocolate). Good luck :o)

Tamica - I also hated the Slimfast. When I was done with my 2 week liquid
diet I got rid of what I had left over. What I didn't mind was Sugar-free
Carnation Instant Breakfast with skim milk. It tasted good - and fresh
because of the fresh milk. I particularly liked the milk chocolate flavor.
Good luck...

I am addicted to a protein drink made by American Body Building it is
called PURE PRO. The flavor is Chocolate Swirl with 35 proteins and 170
calories. They cost $2.49 each. GNC carries it. The phone number of the
company is 1-866-FLEX-ABB.

Sugar free carnation instant breakfast has 5 grams and the skim milk has 8
grams. That is not a lot, but it tastes good. I also mix unflavored unjury
and ice (in blender) with it sometimes when I need more. That is 20 more
grams.

If your not into the milky chaulky proteins try the " coolaide"
type that GNC sells, they were a life saver for me. They have several
flavors and go down like coolaide! good luck =)
