Don't - it is disgusting, and not a good source of Protein. It tastes like hay, or dirt, or something. It's absolutely disgusting, and I still have a package in my kitchen. It's also collagen protein which isn't like animal or whey protein. Save your money in my opinion.

What @@rolosmom7 said. It's not the good sort of Protein and besides your body can only process about 30 g of Protein at a time so the 42 though it sounds awesome really isn't benefiting your body as much as you would think it is. I say stick with the Protein shakes ( i personally love Premier Protein) and get some good flavorless Protein powder and add it to everything you can. Good luck!!

I bought a variety pack, thinking that the low volume/high Protein may help during my first week or two post op. I tried the orange earlier this week and IT TASTES TERRIBLE. I've tried a lot of Proteins over the last 2 years and this is easily the worst ever.

I'm not concerned that it's over 30g because I will only be drinking it if I can't get down more than a few sips at a time, so it'll be spread out. Also my NUT said that I can use non-optimal Proteins (like pea proteins or collegean) as long as I only have one a day, and have some whey Protein during that same day to make sure I get the micronutrients.

      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.
