I stopped trying Protein Shakes around day 5 and didn't start again until I was nearly 2 weeks out. I did broth etc... But my one and only focus was Water. More important to prevent dehydration at this point. I found I felt much better hydrated, even lacking the Protein. Once I was able to hit my water goal and maintain it I added protein back in and I have felt great.

Go get some Isopure. It's light and has 2 grams of Protein per oz. You can mix into a crystal light if you don't like the taste or just Water it down. I drank it straight and just made myself learn to like it in the first few weeks after. Made all the difference in my recovery and energy levels.

Good luck to you and hang in there, it will get better!

You can try Pure Protein shot it has 42 grams.of protein in 3 ounces. The taste, let's say is unique, and the consistency is kind of like Syrup, but it is only 3 ounces.

I was also having a very hard time with Protein Shakes, not sure if it was the texture or the sweetness. I have recently discovered Nector Lemonade. OMG it is fantastic! Loaded with protein! I ordered the single serving packs and just throw them in my lunch box or purse. I have had it mixed with Water or iced tea (Arnold Palmer). I have also mixed it with crystal light squeezable favors. I ordered it from Amazon. 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.
