I had my surgery on September 19th and I am down 28 lbs! The Protein is the hardest part for me...I have tried so many and I don't like any of them! I even went to the pharmacist to ask it there was a pill form...he laughed and told me protein doesn't work that way...any suggestions?

I tried the Unjury chocolate and chicken broth. Both were great. The chocolate one is better with milk than Water and the broth, as with any time you heat liquid with Protein you have to make sure that you don't get it over 130 degrees or it gets lumpy and nasty. I always heated water to 130 then added the protein and stirred. Do some test runs with a 4 and 8 oz of water in your microwave and take a meat thermometer and check. Mine was 1min and 7 sec to get to 130. Good Luck

I didn't do Protein Shakes once I could eat real food. All of my Protein came from the real food. I made Jello with fruit flavored protein--Jay Robb Pina Colada protein goes great with lime, orange or raspberry jello--but a lot of the protein came from eggs, which I ate every day in one form or another; plain Greek yogurt, Fage, which tastes like sour cream; nonfat cheese; various meats; nonfat refried beans; and the like.

I would just recommend keep trying and see which works for you. Some of them taste ok to me, but my stomach doesn't like it so much. Or they'll taste like crap but don't effect my stomach. With me, I rarely need shakes now as I am able to get most of my Protein from eating. Good luck!

Shrimp! Just discovered it and is a great source of Protein. 7 shrimp = 18 grams of protein and 100 calories. I can't do the Protein Shakes either, well, maybe once in awhile. I haven't tried Unjury and I should check in to it. But shrimp has been an easy way for me to get the protein. Thanks for the post- you are not alone! 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.
