Any suggestions on Protein Drinks? I'm 4 weeks out and I can't stand my Protein drinks any longer. I hardly eat a thing so I know I'm not getting in the protein I need. I tried the chocolate Lean Body, some horrible Walgreens brand shake, and fruit punch Isopoure. Is there a drink you like? Did anyone else have trouble getting in their protein?

Isopure drinks are really good. You can get bottles at GNC but they are over $5/each. Or buy the powder which is much cheaper. They have all kinds of flavors. I like the mango/peach.

Do you have a Sam's Club or costco nearby? Premier Protein are by far the most popular amongst sleevers here. Not for everybody, but I know dozens of us who have settled on Premier. If you don't believe me, do a site search on Premier Protein. chocolate or vanilla. I sound like a salesperson ... but I'm not!

I agree with Pdx Man, Premier Protein shakes at costco and Amazon.com. are the best I have tried so far, and I tried a lot of powder ones my first two weeks. I like to put in freezer until just a little icy:)

Hi -- The selection of protien shakes where I am from are very limited.

So, I've come up with a formula that I can live with--maybe you would like to try this?

I mix non-flavor whey protien (6 scoops; up to 24gm of protein) with a cup of Non-Fat milk--then I drop in a tbsp of Hershey's unsweetened chocolate powder (the one used for baking) and blend this with some ice. It doesn't taste great, but it doesn't taste bad either; like watered-down chocolate milk with 32gm protien and contains 210 cal.

It doesn't break the bank, physically and financially for me. Plus, the non-flavor allows me to use it in some of my food dishes.

Hope this helps!

      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.
