Hi livehealthy, I find the shakes hard to drink as well. Have you tried a clear RTD Protein like Isopure? worked for me :)

Hey! I did look for isopure in Montreal where I live but couldnt find it... I think that worst case scenario ill have to go plattsburg and buy some there I guess...

Also if I am not mistaken I cant drink coffee pre op. Amd the fruits contain to much carbohydrate...

Where did you find it? I too have been experimenting with different flavored and can only stand the chocolate whey Protein by Body Fortress (Wal Mart). The EAS powder vanilla flavor was disgusting. I have yet to order the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I think I will do that today.

Wieder? The weight manufacturer? Hmm, I'm not familiar with a protien supplement from them. I wonder if it's one of heir weight gainers.

Well, either way, don't panic, there are tons of options out there. Give me an idea what you do like, and what restrictions you might have. I'll see if I can help you find something.

I am in UAE, we get them at a kiosk at the mall here. No Unjury here so don't know about those.

Went to GNC today and bought a box of Protein shakes. They taste great! All day today I had the following:

1 shake for Breakfast (whey body fortress chocolate)

1 shake for lunch (GNC. total lean)

Five crackers for snack and an orange ( more head hunger than anything)

Small salad with a piece of baked chicken (leg) that I broke off in the salad.

Pretty good day! I can do this!

Ooh and LOTS of water!

I guess that was the filler for the day!

I'd place it firmly in the "acceptable" category.

Just curious...you know a lot and give good advice. I'm 11 weeks post-op and sick of my Protein drinks. Is it okay to eat met-rx Protein plus bars? The one I've been eating (creamy Peanut Butter crisp) has 310 calories, 30 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar

They taste way better than some of the others I've tried. I've learned my lesson of buying big without tasting. Some of the ones i have purchased have been intolerable. I will take it slow and try a few then buy a bunch once I see they are tolerable.

      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.
