are you on Clear Liquids, or all liquids? There is an important distinction. If you are on clear liquids, try sugar free popsicles, different broths, diluted fruit juice, etc. If you are on all liquids, you have a little more freedom. You can basically eat anything that could go through a straw. You can puree vegetable Soup and drink it, or try cream of wheat, puddings, yogurt. You will get through this I promise!

It's very true, your body can't absorb more than approximately 25g of Protein at a time. Anything beyond that in a serving, like a shake with 42g of Protein, isn't being utilized. You're still only getting about 25g.

As far as the absorption rate of Protein and whether or not you actually get 25 or 30, I have yet to see any concrete science to back it up. There are just as many articles out there that would argue against those that say you should not eat more than that at a time. Regardless, let me get back to my original point...for those of us that have a hard time eating animal protein, this is a good supplement. Whether you choose to consume it all at once or throughout the day, it still helps you get over half your daily requirement in. Just food for thought.

I've never heard of the max Protein in one setting. I guess body biulders who drink 50-60g of protein after a workout have been doing it wrong all these years. I believe it depends on how much muscle you have on your body.

They are the same color as Kool-Aid (without the sugar). I have tried the grape flavor and the orange flavor.

i have done a lot of research on these and the best price I have found so far is at supplementwarehouse.com

I really liked the watermelon flavor as well. I just sipped on it throughout the day.

I've tried the grape and the punch flavors. I can't stand the taste, buy I drink it in two halves. It takes about 3 swigs for a half for me. I just imagine its nasty medicine my Mom used I make me drink. When I'm done, I know I've taken care of a good portion of my daily Protein and its worth it!

I found these at Wal-Mart. I found several different flavors. These actually taste pretty good and you get 42 grams of Protein with each one. Has anyone else tried these?

How long have you been banded? I'm postoperative 2 months and my Dr. Said to get OFF ALL Protein drinks. I need to re-enter the "real" world and eat real food. The Protein Drinks were meant only for two week after surgery. Most drinks are loaded with sugar and I was diabetic before surgery, but off all Rx's now! I'm NOT about to get on the sugar merry-go-round again!

I bought a case from GNC; they are "New whey Liquid Protein" with 42 grams of Protein; they are Lactose FREE; Gluten FREE; Caffeine FREE; Sugar FREE: and Fat FREE; I just pretend that I am back in college and they are jell-o shots; agree with other posts that it is a good way to get in daily Protein. I will occassionally mix it with my morning o.j. because my band will not let me eat in the morning. So, I have no guilt about skipping Breakfast.< /p>

      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.
