I,m starting the liquid diet January 2 and I have no idea where to buy Protein Shakes .

Wal-Mart has a Protein Powder big jar for $15, mix it with ff milk and 1/2 scoop of powder. I like the chocolate/peanutbutter, but then anything C/PB is good for me. My nutritionist told me our bodies will only absorb about 20-25gms Protein at a time, one scoop of this powder is. 52, that is why I use 1/2 Scoop.

I started my liquid diet on Wed of this week. My surgeon and dietician have me drinking 5 carnation sugar free breakfasts ( Breakfast Essintials ) every day. He said to drink one every 3-4 hours. I can substitute once a day, a cream Soup, a smoothie, SF pudding or yogurt. Really they are very good. chocolate milk has always been a weakness for me. Also if you go to www.carnationbreakfastessentials.com you can get a coupon and a bunch of recipes. Good Luck

I buy my Protein Shakes from costco they are in little cartons and have 30grams of Protein per drink...you can buy by the case of 24 for $19 and they taste pretty good.....

You can get Proteins shakes/meal replacement shakes from virtually anywhere. Your local grocery store, Walmart, target, costco, bjs, sams club, and even your local walgreens, cvs will have something on their shelves. Good luck and congrats on starting this journey. I had to do a 7 day liquid diet which was hell for me. I simply could not get full off of a "sweet" sliquid. I need something savory, like a Soup.< /p>

I too started my diet this past Wednesday and I drink Ensure High Protein Shake. So far, so good. But, I was told to drink a shake for breakfast and lunch, then for dinner eat lean chicken, fish or turkey - NOT FRIED and leafy green vegetables (no potatoes, Beans or corn as vegetable). Also, no rice, Pasta, flour and sugar.
