Hi northstar9148...

here are some ideas I hope will help you. I don't know what brand you buy but...Buy a brand (any no name brand is fine at your local wal-mart or health food store even a big supermarket should carry Protein powders. Buy a brand that is whey (milk) or soy. I think if you buy a vanilla (there is other flavours as well) flavoured brand you will have more options for shakes. Less than 5 grams of Carbs and 20 to 30 grams of protein and NO sugar.

here's one recipe

strawberry banana Protein Shake

1 scoop Protein Powder

1/2 cup skim milk, almond milk or cashew milk.

1/2 cup plain low fat yogurt

4 whole strawberries (frozen if want) or blueberry, raspberry

2 inch piece of banana

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 package sweetener (optional)

Throw into blender and blend until smooth....delicious

you can also replace the berries with peaches or even use coco powder (plain no sugar powder not hot choc mix)

try using flavourings and extracts orange, root beer, maple, for baking ...DO NOT use juice, honey or sugar for flavour.

Did they give you IV fluids? Ask them about the broth. I can't imagine why you couldn't have it.

That's what I'm starting to wonder. My temperature was 98 but I usually run a lower grade at 96 or so. I'm hoping it is a big and goes away soon.

Better now than after surgery.
What's your surgery date? I think you still might wanna be on the lookout for a different shake or unflavored Protein powder. You don't want to be facing this post op.

      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.
