I don't usually do Protein shakes, but that is cuz my Dr said not to. He wants me to get my Protein from foods only. But occasionally I will have one.

I'm only 15 days post op and am just starting on some real food, so I am only supposed to do Protein Drinks in order to get my all my Protein in. Pre op, I was a shake-drinking fool. Post op, I'm having a difficult time getting them down. Honestly, I haven't been able to get in two a day. Some days I can't even get one in.

Jay robb whey Protein shakes are awesome! No after taste and not gritty at all. The vanilla if u add 1 tsp of vanilla extract tastes just like ice cream. Especially if u out it in the freezer for 30 min!

That's a nice tip. I use Whey too and I love it. Make it with skim milk: 38 grams of Protein

This is what I drink twice a day. 8oz gives me 44g of protein... It's good and no chalky after taste. Got it at GNC. This is what was recommended to me when I let them know I had surgery. I didn't do Protein Shakes after surgery cause it just felt too thick and I'd gag but since I returned to it 2x a day I been losing like crazy!!

Can't really see picture, can you please tell me the brand? Thanks. I can't eat enough to get all my protein in but haven't found one yet that doesn't make me dump.

      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.
