Does the ensure have 30 grams Protein per scoop? I dont have a surgery date yet. Do you have one yet?

I didn't purchase the powder yet because I was still seeing what my stomach could handle. I purchased the pre made ones that are in the bottles. The bottled ones have 25g of Protein. Since I love the ensure chocolate ill be purchasing it in the powder as well. My surgery date is in June. I will have a definite date on Monday for sure. Where are you in your journey?

Ensure has 25 grams premade or powder. Secret to any powder is make it about 20 minutes before you need to drink it. The chalky taste will have time to dissolve. Also they are much better once you can have them cold.

Thats good to know. I live in a rural area so the biggest store we have is Walmart. The nutrionist said we could order online but Im not sure where from. Maybe Amazon but then I need to know which brand. Is it normal for the powder to have taurine in it?

Puritans Pride is where I get mine. They usually have good prices. They just had BOGO on Vitamin and Protein. They let you see the labels so you know what you are ordering.

      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.
