I found this in a drug store ( rite aid.) It has 50g of Protein in one vial. You drink it a d it's not bad. It's 2 servings a day 25g ea. 1g sugar! The cost was 3.59 each.

Surgery date 4/18/13 @ 7:30 am SW 316 CW 287 GW 150

Your. Body will only absorb about 1/2 the protein in that. There is 1 brand of shots that are ok. But I don't remember the brand. They sell them in the gift shop at the bariatric center I use

For about two weeks (5-7weeks after surgery) I went thru the same thing except it was vitamins, fluids and protein. I was feeling sick all the time and no desire to eat or drink. Actually had to get iv fluids twice however it passed, thankfully. I use unflavored protein in drinks and foods like Soups or yogurt. Even if you use half a scoop in one drink or food then later in the day the other half scoop its a little added protein to your day.

      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.
