Protein is an important for healthy cell repair and development. Also, affects Hair loss etc. We need Protein to repair our bodies after the surgery and gives us energy. I myself drink the Protein Drinks called Premier chocolate protein drinks from costco. They also sale them at Sam's Club. This satisfies my sweet tooth. LOL ;)

You should do something to substitute the Protein you were getting from the shakes. Lots of companies make 3oz liquid "shots" that are 25g each, or Unjury makes a protein chicken broth powder (21g per serving). You will start to feel the lack of protein eventually (fatigue, slow healing, etc). Hope you're able to find something that works for you.

You don't have to drink the Protein Shakes or do Protein Shots so long as you are getting your required amount of Protein in which can be done with foods.

Thanks everyone I will take it into consideration. I will try Protein Bars. I just left my appointment and happy to hear a total lost of 60lbs but I have to do better bout Protein intake. I hate chocolate but could swallow a pill better. Do anyone know of a protein pill maybe?

I think I heard Protein pills have very little protein in then so you'd have to take a ton of them. I'm sure you can find info if you Google it.

nectar makes a slew of fruity flavored Protein blends you mix with Water. Look the flavors up on the internet. The chocolate/vanilla shakes are not for everyone taste. Also, Isopure is a Water like drink with Protein.< /p>

Good luck!

      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.
