I just tried and really enjoy a Protein Shake called ProJoe. I found it on the Bariatric Advantage website. 20 g of Protein. I have only tried the Chai but it's got a coffee vibe that gets me thru the day!

I eat greek yogurt with a scoop of vanilla Protein and two tsp of Fiber for Breakfast. Gives me some protein and fiber and tastes wonderful.

I use one scoop of Chike (chocolate) and one scoop of Click. It is just the right amount of sweet/coffee/caffeine/protein.

I start my day off with a Protein hot cocoa: 1c. almond milk heated to quite warm (not HOT - that will make the protein clump), add 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa (I like Ghirardelli), a generous dash of salt, and 1 scoop of chocolate Protein Powder (I use Unjury). Thin with hot Water to taste. Usually I have my coffee afterwards, but sometimes I mix in a half packet of Starbucks Via.

I'm also pretty partial to the Click Mocha, though I prefer that made into soft-serve for an afternoon or evening treat.

I put 4 oz of almond milk, 4 oz of 50 calorie lite orange juice, 1 scoop Simply Right vanilla Protein powder, 1 tsp orange metamucil, 1 tsp splenda..It taste like an orange dreamcicle. I also use vanilla protein powder in my coffee like creamer!

Yep - I said salt. Salt can help enhance sweet flavors, just as you put salt in sweet baked goods, or... think about salted caramel which is all the rage these days. To me, it helps balance the over-sweet taste of a lot of Protein powders.< /p>

coffee is an addiction..... it was the first thing I thought about after the surgery.... will I be able to drink it..... I tried but it tasted awful.... and I couldn't go through my days without caffeine.... so now, 3 months post op, I can drink half a mug.... looked for skimmed powdered milk, and found it.... for protein.... it's better than Creamer of course.... doesn't taste wonderful but it will do....

8 oz skim milk, 1 keurig cup Caramel Vanilla Green Mountain coffee (makes about 8oz) cooled in fridge (make it night before), 1 tablespoon of Torani sugar free Caramel Syrup, 1 scoop Vanilla Protein, Ice Cubes. MIX. Tastes like Starbucks, I swear, with no guilt. 32 grams of protein. And takes me about half the am to drink.

I brew my coffee then in a Blender Bottle I blend 1/2 cup skim milk, a few vanilla stevia drops and SF vanilla creamer with a scoop of vanilla Protein. I mix everything but the coffee in my blender bottle then slowly pour the hot coffee inside (so it doesn't clump) sounds like a lot of vanilla, but that's how I like it ;)

I see a lot of posts about Torani sugar free Syrup. Is that something I can find in a grocery store or online?

      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.
