Re: Jay Robb Protein Powder - I originally bought it at Wholefoods, which is a health food chain store in this area, but am now purchasing it directly online from Jay Robb Enterprises and it comes monthly (on autoship) and is a bit cheaper this way ... it is more expensive that some brands like Walmart sells, but it works for me, and is a whopping 26g Protein per scoop, which is the way I make my shake (as I said, w/14 oz of skim milk, which adds approx 12-14 additional g of proteini, a pack of chocolate alba (which adds additional 6g of protein) and a tablespoon+ of Peanut Butter (which adds additional 3 g of protein) -- all total, my shake is over 46g of protein, which, as I said, I have to split up into two servings (I have 1 serving in about an hour and wait another 2 hours of more to have the second serving) ... then, at that point, I don't have to work so hard throughout the day to get the remainder of my protein in .. so this works for me ... I hope this helps you ... oh - and if you add another 1/2 of banana to your shake in the blender, it's another 1/2g of protein, I believe! :-) (and sometimes I even put some fat-free chocolate Syrup in the mix to give it a dash more chocolate flavor). I like the Jay Robb unflavored protein because it really doesn't have any smell, and most of the other protein powders gross me out w/the smell of it all .. I'm a little peculiar that way ... :-) good luck!!!

I like GNC Pro Performance Vanilla whey isolate. 28 grams of Protein per scoop.

All my shakes have to be whey ISOLATE as I am lactose intolerant. I make it with 8oz Lactaid milk (8 more Protein grams), 1 Splenda and some vanilla extract. I am very happy with it. If not I could have taken it back. GNC accepts returns on open packages.

The ready to drink OH Yeah bottles also taste good and are convenient when on the go.

The difference between Jay Robb and most others is Jay Robb is sweetened with Steveia, not Spenda.

I got individual packets at the Vitamin Shoppe to try the different flavors.

      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.
