Novartis Medical Nutrition Vendor

Only carmel and strawberry flavors but this is ok.

At 25 calories for 7 grams of protien this the item that is saving me. The trick is tto mix it first with COLD water just a couple of teaspoons then add hot liquids! I put it in my coffee in the morning for a quick boost! No taste, but you can mix it with my other "find" powdered milk. 70 caleries and 8 grams of protien. VERY cheep and filling.

I liked the Vanilla and Chocolate. It keept me feeling full as long as I drank it every two hours

It is a bit on the expensive side, but it is required by my Dr. 4 weeks prior to surgery. It comes in Chocolate, French Vanilla, and Strawberry. I don't care for the Strawberry, but the other two are pretty good.

It is too high in carbohydrates to use after surgery. I would have preferred to get the benefiber line made for bariatric surgery but it was not available at the time.

These vitamins were surprisingly pleasant. They have a citrus-orange flavor to them, smoother than a typical vitamin C but still flavorful. Considering you take 4 per day it's good to be able to enjoy them. If you have to take a nasty liquid medicine, like your post op painkiller or Zantac for example, it makes a great chaser for getting the bad flavor out of your mouth! I think $25 a month for vitamins is very reasonable.

I have tried a lot of different protein bars but this flavor seemed the least like a "diet" food. It has a pretty smooth chocolate flavor. The texture is a bit chewy and I would prefer either crisp or soft, but at least it reminds you to chew well. The only place to buy this is at walgreens.com (not in the store). After I tried one, I immediately ordered a case. It is a small bar so it is not too filling for the 7g of protein it offers and makes a good snack food!

This is a required drink pre-op twice a day for 7 days. Has vitamins and minerals but orange citrus really tasted good mixed with water. Wild Raspberry was not good but I don't like raspberries anyway. No aftertaste with either flavor, no bad smells! Can be used post-op as well to boost immune system. Has 17g protein. Note: does have some sugar in it and 26g Carbs.

I actually liked these shakes -- especially the chocolate one, but they are way too expensive.

I really like the strawberry drink.
