I had surgery on 5/6 and yet to hit my Protein goals. I have a very hard time drinking the shakes and the Isopure is disgusting. Is anyone else having this problem? What can I expect if I do not begin to hit my daily goals in the next few weeks?

Get unflavored Protein Powder and mix it in broths or dilute strain cream Soups.< /p>

Try diluting your shakes with skim milk. This is the only way I could ever drink them.

I think Syntrax Nectar tastes WAY better than Isopure.< /p>

I agree with getting unflavored Protein powder....mix it with Torani sugar free syrups milk and ice or frozen fruit....not sickly sweet.

My favorite is Torani Belgian cookie Syrup, half a frozen banana and skim milk...blend til smooth...Soo good!

Syntax nectar mixed with Greek yogurt is incredible! I've tried the Roadside Lemonade, caribbean cooler, and strawberry Kiwi. 3/4 scoop (might be able to do a full scoop, just haven't tried it) mixed with 1/2 cup non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt. The easiest way to get Protein in, in my opinion.

I use NOW Sports whey Protein Isolate unflavored and DaVinci syrups and sometimes I use banana, a peach, or a couple of strawberries. But I don't use milk except unsweetened Almond milk. Its great.

I ended up lactose intolerant after surgery. Switching to Lactose Free milk, Ensure Protein RTD, and ProtiDiet Concentrate really helped me meet my Protein goals. The lactose intolerance got better and I can now handle milk and greek yogurt again.

My doctor office has a store I bought mine from, but you can just go to Unjury website and order. They actually have advertisements all over this website, so you can just click on their website that way too.

      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.
