We are such individuals! I like Nature's Best - Extreme smoothies, both chocolate and vanilla.

Premier is the best I've found.

I'm not allowed to have Boost, or Ensure...NUT said too much hiden sugar, not enough Protein per serving and high on the carb side.

So far, I've not found any Protein supplements that are tolerable. I've tried Syntax peach nectar, unjury and GNC's Protein powder. I was told not to do Boost due to the carbs, but am concerned that I won't be able to find anything palatable prior to my surgery the 13th of December. Any suggestions?

Right now I can choose the Protein I want, but the week prior to my date of 12/23 I can only have

1) 4 1/2 bottles of Boost Glucose Controlled daily,

OR

2) 4 1/2 cans of Slim Fast High Protein daily,

OR

3) 5 1/2 packets Carnation Instant Breakfast No Sugar Added with 1%

milk,

OR

4) 5 individual cartons of Atkins Advantage.

I was told that what calories there are, I need. They don't want me to go without some calories and nutrients every day. Then after my surgery, I can choose my own protein again.

I'm not sure, but most people said premier is good.

I wasn't tolerating Protein Shakes until I started freezing it like a slush and drinking that way. I like premiere now but couldn't stomach it until ifroze it.

Rockin Refuel by Shamrock Farms. It's not whey, but I couldn't get that stuff down.

It has a lot of carbs; it seems almost impossible to find a Protein product without a lot of carbs that doesn't taste awful. Thanks for your help; I appreciate it much.

      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.
