I really like the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates, especially while on Clear Liquids. Each packet has 15 grams of Protein. They gave them to me while I was in the hospital recovering. I used them over crushed ice, undiluted initially. You can also drink them diluted with Water.< /p>

Have you tried the Syntrax nectar?? They are about the only Protein powders I can stomach. I have never tried the slushy, so not sure if they will froth, but I did do them over lots of crushed ice. One of the reasons I like them so much is because they are fruit flavors & more like "juice" ... cherry, grape, apple, grapefruit, lemonade, iced tea, etc. You might want to give them a try.

Just a warning/heads up -- just because you love really cold drinks pre-op doesn't mean you will post-op. Right after surgery you may have to try different temperatures to see what works.

I have developed a taste for Lemonade post surgery. Never liked it before, but now I love a glass of cold diet Lemonade. I like the Chick-Fil-A version and I make it at home. It's takes time but it's so delicious. I use 2-3 lemons and spends, lots of ice and put it in the magic bullet. Makes a nice slushy drink with zero calories.

Thanks y'all! I am waiting on my syntax nectar samples to come in. I ordered them last week! I hope my tastes don't change too much after surgery but if they do these ideas will at least get me through my pre-op diet! Most of the "smoothie" textures I am not a fan of cause hey are too thick. Yuck. I have already been drinking skim milk for years so I am not used to that full fat whole

Milk smoothie texture. :(

      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.
