I've never been able to drink Protein Shakes. I wanted to know what else is there to drink besides Protein Drinks during the liquid diet phase?

Unfortunatly you will need to get your Protein in somehow. They have so many new kinds out now. Ensure makes a good one but its kinda pricey. If you have a costco or sams club check there. I know Enusre also has a new clear one out you may want to try.

But I know what your talkig about. I was at the point with Protein Shakes that I told my husband "if I have to drink one more Im gonna shoot myself..lol"

When you say you've never been able to drink Protein Shakes, what do you mean? Do they make you vomit or do you just not like the taste?

Thanks, I will look into the ensure clear drinks. I always vomit or get really nauseous when I taste or smell anything milky. I've always wanted to try slimfast or muscle milk and I could never stomach the smell or taste. Maybe my Doctor has something else I could try.

Is it possible that you are lactose intolerant? There are Protein powders that are made from whey isolate, like Unjury that are for people that are lactose intolerant. I've tried Unjury with soy milk and haven't had any problems. In fact, I actually like the taste and it feels good on my stomach.

well, my dr told me to stay away from slim fast and i also do not like the milky tasting stuff. that being said, Protein shakes are a superb way to get your Protein in. you will just need to buckle down and find a shake that you like to help with this pre and post op phase. (i use whey extreme from Walmart in chocolate) and it is delicious. i even put in freezer to make my own version

of a wendys slush..

find what works for you as you are the one who has to do this.

I use muscle gain by advocare. It can be made with milk or Water. With water it's 25grams of Protein w/milk 38grams. It's a Lil pricey but def worth it since it keeps me full 6-8hours. Check it out at www.advocare.com/12102403 best of luck in your journey and hope this helps :)

Try Isopure. You can find it at Vitamin Shoppe or online. It mixes clear and they have fruit flavors. Think Gatorade, but its Protein and very low carb (I believe zero carb actually). And they are suppose to be very very good.

I use Body Fortress, you can find it at Walmart as well and it's pretty cheap. I'm so sick of drinking Protein Shakes though I could gag. I'm only 3 days away from starting solids and holy smokes can I not wait. I've begun getting creative and stopped drinking my shakes and have started mixing them in my yogurts and hot cereals just so I don't have to drink them anymore! I can't stand the smell of them anymore either! I'm going to by some Protein Powder for days when I need a Protein boost because I need to give the shakes a time out for awhile.

Syntrax Nectar unflavored Protein powder can be mixed with anything. It has no flavor and I used it in my flavored water. That should help those that don't like milk based drinks!

      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.
