I bought the Isopure clear Protein drinks and drink on them all day. I Water them down. For a meal I like the Matrix kind. I mix with almond milk. Taste like a malt but not as thick. Yummy.

My favorite is EAS Advant Edge carb control chocolate fudge flavor it comes already mixed; I can not tolerate the mess you have to mix up yourself.

I drank the premier Protein Shakes from SAMs club they taste good are low in carbs and 30 grams of Protein per shake . They come in boxes of 16 I think and they are inexpensive. There is a coupon at SAMs club this week thru July 21st for 4 dollars off and I think they are around 14.99 a case. Also at GNC their brand of Protein powder Cookies n cream and banana taste good also and they have a special sometimes. Buy one get one. Buy the shaker container with the little metal ball to mix it good. Now after your procedure milk like products like the premiere may be hard to get down. But give it some time you will be able to drink them again.

I had pressure in my chest, too after surgery a week though. I was told its the hematoma caused in surgery that was between my pancreas and stomach. Also I read on other threads that's its gas. Either case tell ur doc. Hang in there , it does get better.

The premier is good. Not a big fan of the chocolate, it's a little watery in taste, to me.

I agree but..the key is the high amount of Protein with the low amount of carbs which for me was a key factor in getting my weight down.

Can u recommend a high Protein Shake that isn't milk based? I could tolerate the premiere for about a week before my lactose problem kicked in.

Muscle Milk.... Lactose/milk free and good

      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.
