Went to the grocery today and I am pretty impressed with the Protein fortified foods on the market now...everything from Quaker Oats Protein fortified oatmeal to "extra" protein fortified skim milk....11g per serving as opposed to the usual 8g. I like seeking these out because when the time comes I don't ever want to see a #&$@!? Protein shake again.....

Can anyone recommend some more of these products they've discovered and used? I looked online see if there was a comprehensive list but no luck....and not interested in adding the "unflavored" Protein powder myself.....yuck....

Weight Watchers makes a really good frosted wheat Cereal with extra Protein, plus adding your 1% milk, it's like 12-13 grams per (our sized) serving. I also keep Slim Jims around..NUT said it is good also...and the small ones have 7 grams each....Kroger (regional market, not sure if you have one) has really good protein bars...taste great like granola bars, but have 10 grams protein and are cheap too :) Other stuff I keep on hand is string cheese (Kroger low fat variety), cottage cheese....that kind of stuff...jsut gotta figure out what works for you...Good Luck!

      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.
