Are you looking for Meal Replacement or just Protein supplements?

I don't know what the Protein source is but you might want to look at something like ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates. You'll have to check the label.

I have heard of pea protein supplements but have never tried any.

there are some vegan pea Protein options. I did not personally like them, but if you have a whole foods/whole body store near you they usually sell one serving packets so you could try several non soy/non dairy options without having to buy a whole jar.

Hemp Protein is also an option. Haven't tried it so I can't speak on taste.

If you have a Vitamin Shoppe nearby they usually have a few non-dairy Protein supplements available in single serve packs you can buy before committing to a huge $$ tub.

As mentioned above, there's are vegan Protein powders that you might like. The brands I see most often at the (outrageously overpriced but very popular) juice cafes near me are SunWarrior and KaChava. I've never spotted KaChava at a store, but I've seen sample sizes as well as the tubs of SunWarrior at Whole Foods. I would definitely start off with a sample if you can find one. I want to say that I saw them at Sprouts as well, but I'm not entirely positive.

You could do a search on Amazon of vegan Protein powders and read the reviews for more feedback, and to read the ingredients list.

The Vitamin Shoppe carries an almond milk that is low in carbs and much higher in protein than other brands, while still being reasonably tasty (in my opinion). The last time I bought it they had a 2 for 1 deal. Hemp milk or cashew nut milk might also blend with a Protein powder nicely.

      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.
