How do you all get all of your Protein in? I try, but I'm still on full liquids and I get so full I can't stand it. Any suggestions?

I drink 8 oz Protein shake which contributes toward my daily consumtion. You just have to drink one or two of those a day on top of your Water, I also drink Isopure which has Protein. It's hard but possible.

Sorry my post went on here so many times. I appreciate the advice. I just get so full on those shakes and I'm having a hard time finding the Isopure, I guess I'll look online. Tomorrows a new day right?

I do two things: 1, I eat Greek Yogurt...I usually buy it plain and mix a flavor in....Greek yogurt has about 13-15 grams of Protein per serving. 2, I fill a 24 ounce mixer cup with Water, a flavor packet like crystal light, one packet of sugar sub, and then two scoops of plain Protein powder. I keep this with me all the time; my schedule is to eat some sort of thick or dairy based "drink" during one hour and a Water based in the next, so...every other hour I drink 4 oz of my water mix. By the end of the day, that gives me 43 Protein on top of whatever else I have had...Hope this helps.

I get my protein from the GNC website...

That's right. Also once your able to eat yogurt I have a tip: Get the greek non fat yogurt (nasty plain), add strawberry (extract) (or whatever flavor you prefer and splenda to taste, stir well, taste just like regular yogurt with lots of Protein.

      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.
