I haven't gotten near the Protein in that I need and it is obvious since I've stalled. I tried the Carnivor shot and it has 50 grams of protein for 4 ounces. It tasted to me like I was drinking a fruit punch flavored liquid cow (tail end included)!!! It was so tart that now I have killer indigestion! The trial and error part of a new sleeve sucks donkey tail!!!!!

Your description is funny, haven't had my sleeve yet. Surgery is on the 12th. Hope you find a way to get in your Protein.< /p>

Have you tried any of the unflavored protien powders? I cannot say they taste fantastic, but you can add them to any and everything, Soup, broth, you name it. I find this really helps me to stay on track with my Protein requirements. Also, how does your sleeve tolerate seafood? Seafood has one of the biggest 'bang' for your buck as far as protien to serving size ratio that I've found, and is one of the easiest (for me at least) to digest since it's not as dense as chicken or beef. Good luck!!

I have not tried the unflavored yet. I think that is my next choice. We went out to eat last night at Red Lobster and I was able to eat 1 crab leg, 1 shrimp and 1 tiny scallop and u was full, but it was the first real food I have been able to keep down. I told my husband that we needed to buy stock in Red Lobster if that Is the only thing I can tolerate. Be warned and watch the stock market for a sudden spike!!!

omg your description is so funny! LOL!!!!!!

I think this process will be mostly about trial & error and that maybe as time goes on tastes will change. Maybe eventually you will actually crave fruit punch flavored liquid cow. Ha!

No doubt having a sense of humor about it all will be very helpful :)

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.
