How many grams of Protein does your preop shake have in it? I have been using Herbalife b/c it tastes better, but it only has 9 grams per shake. I don't think I am getting enough protein.

That is not very much.

My powder has 22 and I add it to skim milk which has 8 so I have 30 grams.

I have one every morning and it gets my day started with a good amount of Protein.

If you like premixed, the Premier Protein that is advertised on here is good and has 30 grams.

I use 1.25 scoops of Jillian Micheals and that gives me 22 plus 3 for milk (only use a little) so about 130 cal/25 protein/7 carbs

I use Optimum Nutrition and it has 24g (I think) I know it's up there, and use 1 1/2 scoops, so right off the bat I get 36g every morning. And they have tons of flavors but you can't. BEat chocolate! LOL

My Protein Powder is 24 grams of Protein for 120 calories. If you make it with fat free milk you're adding about another 8 grams for 90 calories. Sounds to me like your current product does not have enough protein.

I use an unflavored Protein mix (bought at gnc) and Water with crystal light (tropical punch). It tastes like a smoothie. 125 calories, 24 grams of protein.

      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.
