im excited, but a little nervous. my question right now for you wonderful people is this.. what is the best and most cost effective clear Liquid Protein option for me to try while on my 7 - 10 day clear liquid post op diet? ive read and re read everything they have given me, and i just think instead of eating Jello and broth and diluted juices that i would rather have something i know is good for my body. i just figured that having the Protein wouldnt hurt anything, but since i am impatient and plan on asking about it in the morning i thought some of you may have some advice and insight for me right now. thanks!!!

My doctor recommended Isopure. Got it at GNC. Needed 80 grams of Protein a day, so 2 bottles every day. Did that for 4 days when I got home from surgery. Started full liquids today.

Today is the day!!! Congrats!

Make sure to walk, walk, walk ASAP after you wake up. Moderate pain now saves a lot of pain later.

I think you will find that everyone is different- including your before and after taste-buds. I loved a certain Protein shake before, now I can't stomach it. The good thing is that the liquid diet is only for a week or so, so you'll be ok.

BTW I like Jay Robb whey Protein vanilla. :)

I agree. Before my operation I thought that Premier Protein shakes were pretty decent.

Now they taste like chemicals to me. Blech!

My advice is to just buy a sample of every kind. Unfortunately, I loaded up on these shakes, am now stuck with them (I won't drink 'em), and out a pretty penny.

Good luck and I'd go for Isopure post op as it's got great Protein (40g) and tastes pretty good.

      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.
