I'm not fond of the Protein Shakes either..... I just measure out enough for 64 grams per shake, I have the shake for either brakfast or a mid morning snack, my surgeon says miminum of 64 grams of Protein a day. Any other protein is bonus :) I use Isopure dutch cholocate

I got the same thing from my nutritionist they want you to spread it out all day long not in one sitting. And would like you to get it from food not by drinking it or eating Protein Bars. They are good for when you can't have a meal not instead of

I've been drinking the Premier protien shakes in chocolate from SAMs club. They are 30 gr Protein, 160 cal 4 carbs and less than 1 gr sugar. Very tasty! $18.99 for a case of 12 shakes pre made.

      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.
