You may want to try a Protein supplement with whey "isolate" as opposed to whey "concentrate" if you haven't already. The difference between the two is the amount of filtering. whey isolate is 90 to 96% pure Protein with most fat and lactose removed. Most folks who are lactose intolerant can tolerate whey isolate. The bad news is that isolate is usually more expensive as the ultra filtering process is costly.

As others have pointed out, there are many soy products out there to chose from. The trick, whether whey or soy, is finding a product that you like the taste of. Always a good idea to buy small quantities until you find the right one. Be persistent and don't give up until you find a way to get ALL of your daily protein. You'll be glad you did!!

      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.
