Hey Sleevers,

My surgery is set for this Monday December 29th at 9:30am but i'm having some issues with getting the amount of Protein in that i'm suppose to. They want us to get 60-80 but I just can't see how that is going to be possible being on a clear liquid diet after the surgery. I can hardly get the required amount now and I haven't even had the surgery yet. Help please!!! Any advice would be appreciated!

Doesn't the bariatric drink have lots of Protein? I put a banana in my drink which I'm sure probable has protein. I'm also allowed raw veggies and fruit in between. In my drink I think there are 27 grams of protein, 2 drinks a day puts you to 54. I just started my drink today and already hungry. Urrrrrrr

I purchase Isopure as it seems to offer the most Protein with little or no carb, depending on the flavor you purchase. So far, the Vitamin Shoppe has offered it at the best price. I signed up as a member (free) and purchased in bulk during a sale which included free shipping. To add protein, I mix it with Mootopia Milk (@ HEB) or CarbMaster Milk (@ Kroger). Hope this helps.

Add unflavored Protein Powder or chicken flavored Protein powder to your drinks and broth and have that 3 times per day. Each serving is 20 grams of protein plus whatever you're adding it to.

Thank you! I'm about to head to the Vitamin Shoppe now!

      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.
