I hate milk also....my Doctor recommends a drink called Isopure zero carb. 160 calories and 40g of protein.....they sell it at GNC or different places online. Alpine punch isn't too bad.

I don't like fruity drinks so I'm not sure which ones are good but I know a bunch of the Protein Drink makers have fruit Protein drinks that are clear, not milky. Unjury also makes a chicken broth Protein Powder which is really yummy. It's like a protein "shake" in Soup form.

The Isopure Zero Carb flavors mix fairly well with Water. I'm not a huge milk fan, but I did like using almond milk instead of dairy milk. less calories, less carbs. Also I found fat free yogurt, and puddings were a great subsitute when mixed in with some water. Just be careful and watch the calories/fat/carbs you are adding into the shakes.< /p>

Thanks for the info, i can handle yogurt and the cottage cheese i will be able to have i just worry about the actual Protein shakes..LOL i can drink a Arby's Milkshake but i think thats why i am where i am... I will swing by GNC today and see the Isopure i see they have pre-mixed in a bottle to drink, i will see the facts and see if it matches the EAS shakes they told me to try and drink during those 2wks

I've tried the Jay Robb Protein Shakes. You can mix with Water, milk, almond milk, yogurt, etc. You can buy it at Kroger or online.

I've also tried the Lean line of products at GNC. They are good too.

I have heard that they have Protein powders that are Unflavored. I plan on trying those in Soups and drinks! Let me know what you find because I am not much of a chocolate, vanilla, strawberry type girl!

      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.
