I really like the Matrix 2.0 Protein Shakes from Vitamin Shoppe. They are 110 calories and 23 g of Protein. The chocolate and strawberry are really good, but I'm not much of a fan of the Cookies and cream. I didn't start my protein shakes until about 4 1/2 months into my surgery, but I can definitely tell the difference they make! I'll definitely have to try out these Premier Protein shakes from Sams though too!

Are you taking all your Vitamins? Remember to take your Calcium and Iron 2 hours apart. Whenever you feel weak or light headed make sure you get something into your system immediately. You may ask your dr to run a glucose test.

My nut gave me a high Protein pudding recipe that is really good. (1/2 cup serving)

1 box fat free, sugar free chocolate instant pudding mix

1 16oz container nonfat cottage cheese

1 12oz container fat free cool whip

1 scoop chocolate Protein powder

4 TB skim milk

Can you give me the recipe for the Protein ice cream? Sounds good!

I really like the chocolate flavored Muscle Milk...either the regular formula, or the "lite" (which has no sugar). I am also a huge fan of the Unjury chicken broth flavored Protein Powder. Just be sure the Water you're mixing it into isn't hotter than 130 degree F!! The unflavored Unjury Protein powder mixes well, in both warm and cold things (again....nothing hotter than 130 degrees F), and doesn't ruin the flavor. I didn't care for the chocolate flavored Unjury powder....it was way too sweet for my current taste. One of my favorite "experiments"...two cans of Manischevitz chicken consommé, two cans of water, and one can of Campbell's cream of chicken with herbs mixed in...strain as much as you want to drink into a travel mug (to help keep it warm long enough to drink it all), and add 1/2 a scoop of Unjury unflavored protein (yields 10grams of protein). This is a very flavorful chicken "broth", with a slightly creamy consistency, low calorie, low fat, low carb, and high protein!! Best of luck to you!

      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.
