I mix the unflavored with sugar free crystal light (actually I get Wyler's as I buy it at Dollar General for a dollar a box) and mix with my Water. Also, I get sugar free Swiss Miss Hot chocolate, and mix that with water and unflavored protein, but you have to make sure your water isn't over 130 degree's. I measure the heat if I can put my finger in it.. By mixing with water you get your water intake and it still counts even if it is flavored, I actually don't drink water any other way. With hot chocolate you are getting a little more protein as there is powdered milk in it.

I mix unflavored Isopure powder into my drinks either with crystal light or hot tea. I also use New whey to supplement with. I use that because I can take 1oz shots for about 11 grams Protein each. You can find those at wal mart. In flavors like grape, fruit punch, orange.

I thought that the New Whey shots weren't allowed?

I do one Protein shake (usually in the morning) with 8 oz of milk, and that usually adds up to about 30 g of Protein, then one container of Fage 0% plain with some sugar free Syrup mixed in which is 18 grams. That makes 48 grams total and the rest is easy to get in with your meals. :)

I like nectar unflavored (powdered), I make up about 60g in the morning put it in the fridge, Protein tastes better cold :D, using this recipe: 1/2 cup milk 1 1/2 cups Water, 4 Tbsp No Sugar added Nesquick, or I use 2 cups Water and crystal lite (any flavor). I eat Breakfast lunch and dinner, and drink my shakes for a snack between meals.

Today I had peanutbutter toast (breakfast 7g protein), 8oz Protein shake (snack 30g premade Protein shake), 4 slices of turkey lunchmeat and an orange (lunch 8g protein), 8oz protein (snack 30g premade protein shake), and dinner with the family serving porkchop (deck of cards in size), broccoli 1/2 cup and a couple of bites of plain wheat rice (dinner 10g protein). So today I got about 85g protein.

My surgeons office actually recommends the New Whey shots.

There is a protein that has no flavor... It's 100% Soy isolate Protein... It honestly has no taste or smell... Someone said her surgeon said she needed whey. But I can't handle the whey.

You can get it at GNC. 25g of protein in 1 scoop

      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.
