If I can not eat much of anything to get enough Protein in because of so much pressure and or having dumping syndrome, I am doing the shakes but can you tell me if you've experienced this as well and if you have what did you do to help get the protein?

I added Un jury unflavored Protein powder to every broth and cream Soup I could find. Used milk instead of Water to mix my Protein powders because it adds an extra g of protein for every oz you use. Once in pureed stage, I Did eggs, refried Beans, pureed split pea and bean Soups, pureed tuna fish, and still kept adding unflavored Protein Powder to everything else including mashed potatoes, hummus and guacamole. Getting enough liquid and protein was my full time job from waking up to bedtime.

I couldn't eat more than a couple tablespoons at a time for at least the first month, but still managed to get 60g protein everyday from shakes and powder. I had a lot of bloating everytime I ate, so did a lot of walking to help move things through. Even at 11 months out I drink a 24-32oz protein smoothie with 30-40g protein everyday in order to meet goals.

Where did you find Unjury? The only thing I can think of is ordering it online but I'd like to buy it in store. I am on stage 2 so am I ok to have milk now?

I've only seen Unjury online. After 3 or 4 days, I was allowed anything I could tolerate. Of course, the same applies to eat or drink slowly and in small amounts at a time.

Ordered it online from their website. But there are other unflavored powders you may be able to find locally at GNC or other health food store while waiting for it to ship.

I also ate a lot of Greek Yogurt. Plain Fage or Chobani flavored with Torani SF Syrup or vanilla Protein powder.

      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.
