I'm having a hard time getting my 60g of Protein a day. I have tried the at home gladiator powder with different fruit-- and I can't.. I can do muscle milk and juven--

Looking for something else that doesn't taste absolutely awful

Any tips?

Also, has anyone tried Protein Shots, and if so, what kinds?

Profect Protein shots are available from Bariatric Advantage or Amazon. They are avail in 25 and 50 gram sizes and a bunch of flavors. I bought the orange-pineapple flavor and mixed with Crystal Light orange flavor. It tastes a bit vitaminy, but if it's cold it's better. It gave me a nice lift.

You can also mix unjury strawberry Sorbet Protein Powder in sugar-free Jello, or with Crystal Light.

I was told to not do the protien shots by mt NUT.....my doctor prefers that I eat my protien, and if I must have 1 bar or 1 shake a day to help....but to eat as normal as possible....as he said this isnt a diet...this is a lifestyle change, the way you are eating (healthy) you will eat healthy hopefully the rest of your life...

I don't like the shakes either - you can try Isopure from GNC. It's a clear drink that comes in a lot of flavors 40g Protein in a 20oz bottle

      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.
