Any suggestions would be appreciated. Not shakes or drinks looking for shots.

Thanks,

Sorry dont know of such a thing but why not get your Protein from food? My dr doesn't advocate Protein Shakes or supplements excet pre and 2 weeks post op.

I would say look further into whats really in those shots before you consider them your main source of protein...

You were right the watermelon is soOooooo bad. What is worse is that the shots irritated my tongue really bad and can't take them.

Just wanted to let you know my nutritionist told me not to take them. If you look at the ingredients the first one is not even Protein it's Water. I would urge anyone taking these to get them approved. She also said for sure your body is not really getting all the protein some listed can't be absorbed by your body and they are nasty tasting. Plus irritated my tongue really bad.

      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.
