Found this drink at Target today, all fruit, all natural with whey Protein concentrate and soy Protein isolate.

Anyone hear of these? They have 30 grams of protein for 15 oz. I know I will drink this over the next few days but the carb content does bother me, 68 grams of carbs for the entire bottle...

Wow that was all I COULD drink for the first 3+ months out of surgery. It was over $3.00 per bottle and if it were not for that drink I don't know what I would have done. Every and any other form of Protein Drink even Bolthouse drinks nauseated me. They're no where to be found anymore in my neck of the woods so fortunately by that time I was able to incorporate other forms of Protein in me through fish etc. I didn't worry about the carbs because there is NO ADDED sugars, nothing artificial either. If you look at the label (or my earliest posts) you see the ingredients are from whole fruits, etc. If it were not for those drinks I would have had been in trouble. That drink provided me with sufficient protein and the nutrients of fresh fruits. It usually took me an entire day of sipping to finish one 20oz. bottle. My weight loss was rapid during those months. I was worried about alot of stuff but not the carbohydrates from my daily Naked Protein Zone drink.

When I was drinking the Protein zone drink (one a day...divided throughout), I think my total caloric intake daily was around 400-500. I lost most of my weight within those first few months. Let me know how it goes for you as you sort your protein sources out. I hope you do well in any case.

I love these things as well. These are nice carbs that shouldn't hurt you. Unless you plan on drinking like 2 of these a day LOL. I drink these to change up my taste a little, especially after a workout, they are great. Good luck. Oh! and I have found really nice coupons on these all the time so you can def. look out for them like in the sunday paper or even in your local grocery store.

      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.
