I have found a nifty source of protein! They're called Protein Shots by Probalance. Each of them have 28g of Protein in a 3oz fruity drink. Does it taste great - NO! But 3oz? that's like 4 swallows and you've got half a day of protein.

I checked with my nutritionist and she tells me it's fine as long as I'm getting protein from food, too. It's just a great boost to be able to get so much in one place without filling up my tiny stomach.

I got mine at CVS.

I know the idea of "tiny" or a few ounces or a "shot" sounds beneficial, especially from the Protein angle.......but.....when it comes to liquids, less is really not a benefit. Along with Protein, you also need to get in a significant amount of fluids daily. The norm is at least 8 glasses or 64 ounces. So while there is no real set in stone method....when it comes to liquids......more is better.....even when mixed with protein. ;)

Added note: make sure to pay attention to the sugars and calories in those high Protein Shots.

No sugar, no calories. And I would much rather drink Water than those nasty-ass Protein shakes. I've had so many I never want to see them again. I haven't had any trouble with fluids at all, fortunately. I've always been a serious Water drinker. It was just those awful shakes. I've tried so many... and couldn't find one that didn't make me want to hurl!

PS - I LOVE your signature!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
