No, I have never heard of it.

I wonder how much Protein a body can absorb in one sitting...I've seen various responses to this question, but I don't have a clear idea of scientifically how much we can absorb in one meal. I mean based on one serving of that stuff having 60 grams of Protein, then you could eat that and be done for the day right? :huh: lol, not that I think that is a good plan, but I am curious about how much of that 60 grams can be absorbed at once.

Sounds interesting though...did you order it?

I have not tried that. I get the EAS Myoplex 5lb bag with 23g Protein for $28.00 at Sam's Club. Best price by volume I have found and the chocolate tastes like Carnation Instant. Yummy.

No haven't ordered yet. I want to see what everyone said first, since I haven't heard of it before.

Ooooh, got it, thanks for posting. It takes 3 scoops to = 60 grams of Protein. That makes a little more sense.

11 (60 gm protein) servings for $37 plus $12-15 shipping to my place in CA... pretty steep.... around $4+ a serving. I guess it might be worth it if you could get it down for the first week and a half when its nearly impossible to get enough protein.... it says a full serving goes in a cup of milk or Water, a half serving goes in a half glass of milk or Water. I wonder how thick it would be?

I haven't tried this one. For pre-op it should be okay but I suspect it might be too heavy for early post op. It also is kind of high in calories if you mix it with skin milk it will come to around 450 for a full serving.

      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.
