Does anyone know anything about a Protein Water? I'm on stage 2 full liquids but I just can't stand drinking the Protein Shakes in this heat & so far, other protein options have been disgusting! I'm sick of wasting my money on stuff I can't stomach!!! Please help me

You might try chicken broth and egg drop Soup. Kefir (liquid yogurt) might also work for you. I had a tough time getting in enough Protein until I could eat soft food. Once I could eat eggs and cottage cheese, things got much better. Hang in there this phase passes quickly!

Try Isopure , it's a flavored colored ( clear ) drink that has no carbs but really high in Protein. check out your local Vitamin shop, GNC or go online.

Isopure Protein Water was my go to drink for the first 3 months after surgery and still drink one from time to time if I am running low on Protein. They have a few different flavors but for me I stuck with grape and coconut.

The are expensive but they have 40g of protein in each bottle. They run about $5 each. At GNC they have a buy 2 get 1 free specail if you are a member.

Good luck

      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.
