What I've learned about Protein Drinks is that it varies widely from person to person. Also people say their taste changes after VSG and the Protein drinks they liked before surgery, they hate after. So it's a complete toss up. I'm pre-op and I currently drink Premium from costco. I hope you find one you like.

Oh ok.....i never knew how such of a decision this would be its crazy....i thought slim fast would be enough but i guess not looking at some of the packets Its.like 70 grams a day so i tried to find rhetorically highest one in Protein either or ima start them tomorrow 2 shakes and a sensible dinner and see how that works just for practice before the doosy......im still trying to figure out how Ima do ten days of liquids only im slowing dying thinking about it lol

I hear ya. I never thought I'd be doing so much research on darn Protein. I've purchased Unjury unflavored and Unjury chicken broth for after surgery. I've been scared to try it though so I can't comment on it's taste but a lot of the vets like it. I start my liquid diet on 04/29 and I had a food funeral today (well for the last three days), We can do this!!!

      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.
