@@yescobar there should be a scoop in the can of powder. Usually it has shifted all the way down to the bottom and you have to dig for it.

Really? I thought i actually dig for it and it wasn't there but when ever i get home i'll look for it again. Thanks

I find the shakes and flavored powders to be too sweet and weird tasting, so I buy the unflavored Protein powder. I mix it with about 6 ounces of milk and a couple ice cubes. It basically just tastes like milk, which isn't great, but I'm not drinking it for the flavor!

Just be sure to know it is also a meal in itself. I use premade Premier Protein. I am shocked ur nutritionist didn't talk to u about Protein powders or shakes. And also on your boot camp days increase those calories for sure. What was your starting weight opposed to goal weight?

Im shocked too! Back in Nicaragua nutrionists are just not thay good and they just dont believe in drinking Proteins but eating it somehow. The day of my surgery i was 214 , right now im 160/163 my goal is to be 120/125

The choices are endless with the Protein powder. Add to coffee, pudding. shake, etc. I haven't tried unjury yet. I just stick to a whey isolate Protein mix, most are about the same as far as calories, fat, protein, carbs, and sugar.

Perhaps you make have cut down on your protein or Water intake?

Today is my first time drinking protein. I would only eat tilapia for lunch and dinner etc. but i also drink alcohol on weekends. And basically eat anything just in small portions

@yescobar. I could not stomach the thick sweet shakes I used during pre op. Now I mix unflavored powder in skim milk and I like it. It just taste like milk. I never drank milk before, but I have ever had my stomach cut out before. I drink the Protein because I have to. I'm currently unable to eat enough Proteins.< /p>

My nutritionist said that post sleeve women should be getting around 50 grams of Protein a day (at the very least). I think with the Unjury it was the equivalent of a scoop and a half. I can't tolerate sweet stuff for the most part so I switched over to Isopure's Green Tea Lemonade drink and have done well with that. You have to drink at least one and a half bottles of the ready to drink Isopure to get the 50gm of protein.

      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.
