Hey guys! I needed to grab a Protein Shake at the grocery store because I left mine at home. I tried the Pure Protein shake brand..Vanilla Creme to be exact and it was really good! I have been looking for a good protein supplement and was excited that this one tasted good (to me anyways :)). It has 100 calories, 21grams protein, and 0.5 grams of fat. :tongue2:

I haven't seen that one here in NW Arkansas, but sure will be looking for it.

My favorite is the strawberry Special K ones. Also love the Optifast, but they are quite a bit more expensive.

Thanks for the tip!

I get the cans of Pure Protein at The Vitamin Shoppe. I love them! My favorite is Cookies n cream. The cans have 35 grams of protein in them. The vanilla creme has 60 extra calories than the one you buy probably because the can is a larger serving. The banana cream is also pretty yummy. :biggrin: I have 2 a day.

Amy- I'm glad you told me the Cookies n' Cream is good cuz I was going to try it and didn't! :biggrin:

Tish- I got it from Giant Eagle, which I'm sure is not in Indiana. I pretty sure you can get them online too.

Bandmom and Kimaly- There are 4grams of carbs per can

Good luck everyone! Have a great day! :unsure:

Thanks for the info JllyBean & Amy, I do eat the pure Protein Bars but I've not seen the pre made shakes. I went to the site and it gave me a few places to check. I'll be looking for them. Thanks again.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
