I have been living off of GNC Lean shake Strawberries and Cream since my Dec. 9 surgery. They taste great. 25g of Protein and only 2g of sugar. I seriously could not have made it without them. They come in other flavors, choc, vanilla and pumpkin spice. But I prefer the strawberry.< /p>

Try looking on Amazon. They have many varieties and many have some that fit in your budget. mine is $55 but is 5 lbs and lasts a long time. I think it's 70 servings. That actually equals out to about the same as walmarts 2lb jar.

Try a whey isolate, it's more digestible. I also checked with my nut. to make sure it was ok.

My favorite is Bariatric Advantage (banana flavored) It actually taste like pudding to me. I am still pre op so I haven't tried many things. I did try Body Fortress (vanilla cream) and I may never drink or eat anything with vanilla flavoring again. It was HORRIBLE.

      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.
