Usually one scoop of Protein Powder in 8 ounces of Fluid will give you the 20-some grams of Protein you need at one time. But read the labels carefully as some list it in 4ths or nutrition facts for 2 scoops on label.

It depends on which drink you're using. You should just be able to look at the nutritional information on the package to find out. I often mix mine with more Water than it says to though because I don't like mine really thick.

If you're looking to buy a Protein drink, you should look for one that has at least 15 grams or more of Protein per 8 ounce serving, and less than 15 grams of sugar per 8 ounce serving.

My NUT told us to drink whey Protein because it was more absorbable. I love the Premier from costco and/or Sam's club. It's delicious. I also use the Isopure vanilla for cooking. Delicious. ;)

How do you get medication in the morning when you are on Protein Drinks. I went shopping for flowers and I was walking like I was all seized up which I was lol. My husband just chuckled until I whacked him. Not funny lol

Make sure you get whey isolate & not concentrate. Isolate absorbs better.

As far as medicines, you can normally take medicine just fine with your Protein drink or take medicine with Water & then drink your Protein Drink.

      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.
