You can buy unflavored Protein powder and add a bit to your broth, tea, Water, etc. If you add just a few pinches to each liquid, then you should be able to get in enough Protein each day. Good luck to you! :)

Just remember that unflavored only means it's not vanilla, chocolate or any other flavor. All Protein powder has a distinct taste to it. I found that I could put it in tea but not any other liquid as it made for a funky taste (to me). There are several companies that offer free samples of thier shakes. You should be able to search for those on here. Are you sure your going to be on a clear Liquid Protein diet pre-op? Most are liquids, but not necessarily Clear Liquids. (I believe anything with Protein wouldn't constitute being clear).

I was wrong I have to just do shakes and sugar free stuff as well as some low fat dairy.

It's after surgery that I will be doing Clear Liquids.

What powder is best?

The best powder is the one that tastes good to you. I'm sorry if that's sounds a little flippant, but it's very true. Everyone has different tastebuds and reacts different to the taste of the shakes and powders. For example, I absolutely loathe unjury. I love Chike and Syntrax nectar. See if you can find samples of some different kinds and try them.

Cold Water soluble Gelatin has a ton of Protein, no taste, and you can stir it into pretty much anything. You can order it off Amazon (Great Lakes brand). I used it in a variety of things post-op because the shakes were too thick.

Also, the stuff that tastes good to you before surgery may not taste as good after. My mom bought me a ton of this one brand of Protein shake that was really delicious pre-op, then I went to drink one two weeks out and it tasted awful! The only Protein Shake I've been able to stomach both before and after in terms of taste was the EAS Carb AdvantEDGE carb control shakes. I get them from Target by the supplements. Their vanilla actually tastes like a McDonalds vanilla milkshake!

I know a lot of people like Isopure but it always had an aftertaste of vomit to me.

I bought Bariatric Advantage at the surgeon's office (chocolate and vanilla) but tasted too milky and I HATE milk. My husband loved it. I found EAS Protein powder at Walmart and that was the one I liked best. You can flavor the vanilla with SF Torani syrups, fruit, and Crystal Light powder. Now that we are out 6 months, we have the Premier Protein shakes in the carton from Sam's Club, but my NUT told me at 3 months to stop drinking shakes. Everything seems to change quickly so don't buy a case of anything LOL!

      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.
