What Protein Shakes would you recommend? What are you putting with your required Protein to mix the standard flavor up? I am wanting to get some now and make sure I have some I really enjoy before surgery.

My favorite is the AMP Wheybolic extreme 60 by GNC. It's a bodybuilder's formula and the usual serving is 3 scoops and 12oz of milk. i do two scoops and 8oz of milk. I recently discovered powdered Peanut Butter so i put two tablespoons in the mix and it tastes very close to a Reese's cup.

I tried several ready to drinks (Oh Yeah, Premier, and EAS Advantage). I didn't end up REALLY liking any. I disliked the EAS one the most...the others were tolerable. I tried the Isopure (clear liquid). It was strong by itself but diluted with Water it was also drinkable. Then I bought samples of a couple different companies (Syntrax, Matrix, Unjury, etc). I've been working my way through those during my preop liquid phase. So far my absolute favorite is Syntrax strawberry Mousse. Tastes just like strawberry milk to me when mixed with milk. I thought I'd like the Unjury chicken broth but didn't. I had an Unjury chocolate one today and it was probably my favorite chocolate so far.

      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.
