This reminds me... I need to get back to doubling my scoops and getting 50+ in one shot of 8-12 oz. prefer the 8oz less is better but the thick gags me. And to have to do two shakes kills me!!!

Yes, I prefer to get in as much at one time and be done with it! I've tried freezing it but didn't care for it but it might be cuz it's strawberry and it gags me anyway!

I'm doubLing the powder on my shake...i can get 52g in one 8oz shake

Your body can only process 30 grams of Protein at a time so you are wasting the other 22.

Just remember that you're body can only absorb 30 grams at a time. Unless you're splitting the shake up into 2 servings you're wasting 22 grams.

I drink the already made my Protein Shakes you can buy at Sams Club. They are 30 grams in once can and they taste like chocolate milk. Also low in sugar. I figure one for Breakfast and another around dinner would be 60 grams. And plus food if be set for my Protein for the day.

I split that into 3 servings...there's no way I could drink all that at once

Ok, great! Would hate to have you waste any Protein.... It's hard enough getting it in!! I have to try some other flavors because its getting boring!

      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.
