Do you have time to make it the night before? If so, just refrigerate it in to-go cup.

I too like the premiere shake but I find that the day after drinking one I gain a pound for a short time. I almost wonder if it has a high amount of sodium or something.

I bought some of that flavorless stuff and mixed it with sugar free koolaid and it wasnt good. It changed the texture of the drink and was very odd. I think it would be fine to mix with some yogurt or sugar free pudding or something thicker, but liquid just made it to "odd" for me.

I live the EAS advantage low carb shakes when I am looking for super convenience ($5 for 4 at Target- cheapest I've found). Another easy Protein for me is I mix the GNC unflavored powder with a G2 gatorade- it makes it look weird but it tastes good still. I also add the unflavored powder to many of the things I eat during the day.

After having a horrible time choking down what seemed to be every Protein shake known to man and having them all taste like...blech! I've found nectar to be the best tasting. The Cherry and Roadside Lemonade are the best flavors. I order them online (Amazon). The ready made EAS low carb shakes are good in a pinch, and sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast ready made drinks aren't bad, but are fair for Protein.

The best bars I've tried are the Pure Protein Bars - they are 20 grams of protein. They actually taste a little rich, but they are very filling. I hate their shakes though....blech! I hear the Snickers lo-carb bars are good, but I haven't been able to find them locally and haven't wanted to commit to spending a bunch on a box without trying them first.

If your looking to have a unflavored Protein and other really great flavors try Unjury it is amazingly filling compared to others my girlfriend is banded and she swears by it. UNJURY is Medical Quality whey Protein Isolate. Best Tasting Whey Protein Powder. Most Trusted Whey Protein Powder Supplement. Taste the difference

I bought a Blender Bottle on Amazon that is pretty much the greatest thing since sliced bread. (Mmm...bread...)

Right before I leave for work I add 8-12 oz of Silk Light chocolate Soy Milk, two scoops of chocolate Protein powder (Unjury is amazing and so is Optimum Nutrition's Double Rich Chocolate), and ice and I shake the hell out of it. I put it in my bag and I drink it all morning at work. There's 40+ grams of Protein and it's about 300 calories. Occasionally I add 4oz of coffee to it after I get to work. It's like a decadent mocha milkshake!

I also second the Isopure zero carb clear Protein drinks. I've tried the Alpine Punch and the banana pineapple Orange. I wouldn't drink them just for taste, but given that they've got 40g in one bottle, they're not bad at all! Especially if you can't stand normal Protein Drinks.< /p>

Have you tried the Adkins Ready to Drink? Walmart sells them by the 4 pk and I LOVE their Mocha Latte and Dark chocolate Royale. It is around $6.50 per 4 pk. I find them filling and yummy.

Good luck.

Mimi

I like those as well.

You might also want to try Isopure. It contains 40 gms of pure Protein, no calories, no carbs. It taste like gatorade, comes in several different flavors, and I definitely prefer it over the Protein Shakes. You can find it at any GNC.< /p>

I second the EAS low carb shakes. They are the best tasting next to unjury.

www.unjury.com

you can purchase samples for a couple of dollars and they come fast.

I can also deal with the Protein Shots if watered down and poured into a bottle of Water with a koolaid packet to boost the flavor.

Why not get some sliced chicken or roast beef cold cuts and have them rolled...maybe with cheese...in a plastic container as finger food? Breakfast doesn't have to be shakes, fruit, eggs, etc. You could finish your meal with a few grapes or other cut up fruit.

      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.
