Post op day 5. Doing really good. Getting all my fluids in. Got in most of my Protein yesterday. But wait.. I'm sick of all this sweet crap. I do like my strained Soups.

So far I've tried muscle milk light, unjory chocalate splendor, various isopures and I hate them. Tooo sweet, no substance just plain Yuck. Pours down drain. What else can I try?

UJURY is the best...believe me I tried everything and spent no telling how much. STILL even with the best tasting shake it gets boring tying to get the Protein in!

My favorite is the ready to drink special K milk chocolate. It has 190 calories and 10 grams of protien. Not the lowest calorie or highest protien but unlike the others it actually tastes good and doesn't get poured down th he sink. I like to mix the shake with a quarter or half cup of low fat milk and a splash of coffee (cuts the sweetness).

I can't get the drinks down at all either. I'm 4 weeks out. Don't know what I'm going to do.

Early on I was able to tolerate Unjury chicken Soup. Just like chicken broth with lots of protein; you can also use it to make mashed potatoes. I was strictly Unjury chocolate Splendor and Unflavored my first few months, then branched out to some Synthrax Nectars and smoothie King Gladiator in vanilla. I make a yummy iced or hot latte with my Kuirig, nonfat milk, a little SF French vanilla Creamer and the vanilla Gladiator. It's not too sweet, and you could do Decaf if its still early days for you. It gets better!! Strive to work toward at least 60+ grams of protein!!

Another vote for Unjury chicken Soup. One scoop is 21g of Protein and I actually like the taste. I make some when I get home from work and drink it from a coffee mug.

      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.
