After surgery I know they said it take longer drinking anything. But my concern is will I stay that way forever. Will it always take me forever to drink something? Also I need some Protein ideas something between 100-150 cal. 2-3 g of sugar and 15 of protein please help

Nope, it won't stay that way. It took me a good week to retrain myself to not gulp my water- your body will tell you if you're drinking too fast. I'm just shy of a month out, and can take about 3 normal sized swallows at a time- I'm good with that. For me, it's much harder to not drink anything with my meals. :)

Premier Protein has 30 grams of Protein @ 180 calories & 1 gram of sugar. Isopure Clear has 40 grams of protein (don't remember the calorie count) and no sugar. Those can easily be split up to last you throughout the day.

I agree with the Isopure. The zero calorie versions have no sugar, no carbs, and 25 grams of Protein for a scoop which is half a serving. They are also only 105 calories a scoop and have some flavors that taste just fine with Water such as mango peach and pineapple orange banana. I highly recommend these especially if you are getting tired of the standard vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. They have plenty of other amazing flavors as well.

      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.
