I have the same problem. The Protein drinks I could get down for years before, no longer stay. I think it's the whey in them. I gave up making myself sick with them. I saw my Dr. this morning for my two week checkup. He said don't worry about it. Just keep trying to get high protein foods in another way.

I go everyday and get a Gladiator from smoothie King. They are so much better than ones made at home and have 45 grams of Protein. I do them in 3 sessions. the last part i usually put in the freezer and eat right before bed like ice cream (frozen)

I used the Bariatric Fusion, chocolate mousse. It was the only one I could get to set right in my stomach that didn't make me feel sick to my stomach.

You're not trying to drink them as fast as you did preop, are you?

I was also sleeved May 20th. I've been using Body Fortress Whey Protein mixed with skim milk or Water. I make a shake up, and then just sip on it throughout the day. Some days I can get two shakes in and others I've only made it through one.

I have heard others recommend the Gladiator as well...I will have to try them...I am 4 weeks out from surgery--should there be any problem with me drinking them?

I finally found one that I can manage!! Its called elite Liquid Protein shots!! Its small only 2oz!! Thank goodness! I drink it really slow! It made me a little queasy and my stomach full! but I kept it down! I was so glad to finally find one I could do! I had tried at least 6 different kinds!! Its only 25 grams of Protein so Im sure I need to do 2. My dr told me that protein was so important because when you are losing weight so quickly that you can lose muscle.. and your heart is a muscle, so if you lose weight fast enough and lose muscle as well as fat that you can lose some of your heart muscle!! That scared me bad so Im glad I finally found one I can drink!!! :) :) :) :)

Smoothie king is awesome. I can't drink the shakes if they have milk in them.

      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.
