You just had your surgery... I wasn't released from hospital until four days because I wasn't drink enough of anything. Hopefully in a few days you will start being able to drink more.

My favorite Protein drink is a powder Protein in a blender with a tablespoon of sugar free pudding mix and either a tablespoon of Peanut Butter or 1/4 of yogurt, and I use skim milk

I had a few Protein powders I liked before surgery. After surgery I hated them and all the others I tried. I went through so much money finding something that worked. Luckily, I have a store called Nutmeg State Nutrition near my home and I went there for help. They are online - as a matter of fact they have a banner on this site. They sell a gel drink called proti - it does have 1 sugar. The gel goes into 8 ounces of Water and tastes like juice. There are several flavors to chose from and theyre all yummy! My cabinet is now stocked with them - They saved me! Good luck!

Isopure, IMO, is one of the worst tasting. Especially when mixed with Water. And I heavily doctor my Proteins with addins such as PB2, sugar free syrups, etc. I'm finding that the consistency of light soymilk is really agreeing with my sleeve, and it has fewer carbs than FF milk.

I'm 10 days out and still cannot get all my Protein in. I can do about 32 oz a day. So I doubled up the scoops, but then I could only do about 20 oz because of the viscosity difference. Including 2/3 of a 4oz Greek yogurt I managed yesterday morning, I probably got about 40 oz of Protein for the day. I'm ok with that for now, but really want to be around 60 within the next week. Every day it's a little easier.

      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.
