I was sleeved 10/6 and I live in Medical Lake, WA. I work in Spokane, WA. I'm down 13 pounds so far and overall feel pretty good. I haven't thrown up one time. Thank God since that was my biggest fear going into this. I've been saving Soups as well. I just strain everything out after I warm it up. Only about 1/4 cup at a time. Which seems to be plenty. I'm pretty happy so far but I too look forward to more options in the future. =)

Carnation Instant breakfast doesnt have alot of Protein in it (only 5 grams per package according to the side of the box). New whey has a liquid Protein in different flavors that has 42 grams of Protein that you can add to cold Water or almond milk and many of the other protein powders have 20-30 grams of protein per scoop.

Check out GNC. The wheybolic 60 is pretty good and meets the requirements. I just use one scoop. vanilla is good. strawberry tastes a little chemically but the chocolate is to DIE for!! Not to sweet but just enough!

Imaher718, once you mix it with something it tastes pretty good....better than the powder IMO. I have been mixing mine with almond milk and a half cup of frozen fruit to make a smoothie OR with flavored crystal light

VSG on 10/13

Clear liquids for one week post op, then semi solid foods (yogurt, Protein shakes)

am also able to start Vitamin regimen on 2nd week post op (Bariatric Advantage multi EA and Calcium citrate, both chewables)

my nutritionist included a nice packet of example meal plans beginning my 2nd week post op. one ingredient included HEB Mootopia fat free milk. I had never tried it but was curious. Apparently its a "designer milk" that has less sugar and more Protein and Calcium that regular milk. The taste is ok but im looking forward to mixing it with powders and fruits with my shakes. Not sure when ill lock in on a powder but i have tried the AMP products and BSN Syntha-6, both very good.

      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.
