I'm still pre-op but decided to go ahead and try the Protein. I bought the whey protein isolate powder in a chocolate decadent flavor. 60 grams for a serving. 1 gram of carbs, a half serving at a time would be 30 g. I mixed with skin milk and I was totally surprised. It didn't taste too bad at all. I hope I can still handle it after surgery.

You may want to consider getting something called PB2 which is mixed into chocolate Protein Shakes. I'm told it makes them taste like a Reese's Peanut Butter cup. :o

Thanks for the info. What is the exact brand and where did you get it? Do you know how many calories it has per serving? I am doing the already made shakes and would like one with more Protein but have to watch my calories.

I started with the pure Protein brand of ready to drink shakes. 23 grams of protein and they were great at first but after about a month of them I can't even get them down. My suggestion is to change things up throughout it, so you don't get burned out like I did. Good luck to you!!!!!

I'm 3weeks sleeved I been having a hard time with Protein Shakes too they know me well at GNC I was on whey Protein before surgery buy after I could take any flavors of it I mixed it with Water, silk milk and still couldn't drink my NUT told me to try something else so I tried Isopure powder and that didn't work so I been trying to consume my protein in every meal but 70g is hard when you can't eat much. So today I went back to gnc and the guy knew what to do even though I had a list he gave me an already mix isopure drink cold 40g per bottle and I was in heaven it taste so good I have brought it up yet thank god... hope this help!

      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.
