And I see in our area both Speedway and Kroger handle them, how do they compare with the other Protein Drinks cost-wise? As an example Premier Protein is usually $7.27 at Wal-Mart.๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ˜›

Do you have a Sam's club nearby? They have the 12 packs of Premier Protein for $16.

You and the prediet are going to be fine. My favorites so far, Peaches and. cream Premier Protein , Blueberry Muscle Milk, Svelte French vanilla, and in 4th place caramel Premier Protein . Have also tried Eqaute shakes from Walmart, $2 cheaper but one fault I find. I think they have a. processed evaporated milky undertaste, I can't eat anything chocolate because of allergies but. I am sure the Cookies and Cream would be very good.
I found a liquid Calcium at Walmart, brand is Wellnesse, cost under $10 , citrus flavor and it is calcium citrate, like we are supposed to have instead of Carbonate.

Your program should have a list of approved shakes you can have. I like to use Unjury they have shakes, chicken Soup and unflavored Protein Powder.

I found this great Protein powder that is 25g of protein per 6oz., 0 sugars and 1g of carbs. It's by Dymatize and I got it in the classic chocolate flavor. It tastes really good and it's not heavy or thick tasting.

You two will do great! I started the pre-op diet this past Monday but wasn't supposed to start until today. My surgery is June 25th. It was tough the first day and believe me I can feel my tummy growling at times, but keeping full and hydrated with Water help. I think I'm beginning to get the hang of it. I just have all my mini meals/snacks scheduled daily to the minute. Haha! Bonus - I'm down 6 lbs. YAY!

Thank you and nice with the weight loss! Iโ€™m expected to drink 3 Protein Shakes a day and have two 100 calorie yogurts in between. Two shakes are super filling to me though so I have no idea how Iโ€™m going to pull this off, lol. Best wishes on your surgery! So close!

You can do it! The Protein Shakes are pretty low cal, so I think you'll find you'll be ready for the next shake when it's time. I love the Light & Fit Dannon Yogurts. They only have like 7 grams of sugar and I want to say 80 calories? There are some yummy flavors like strawberry cheesecake and lemon meringue pie. They taste like dessert.

I can't believe our dates are almost here. It's really sinking in. :o:D

The strawberry cheesecake light and fit is my absolute favorite! And I donโ€™t really have a big appetite in the first place so that is a lot for me. I did the Protein Shakes in place of two meals a day while I was seeing the nutritionist and even waiting a couple of hours and not having a snack in between, I had a hard time getting a second shake down because I was still full from the first. And time is flying! Our new lives will be starting soon. I finished packing my hospital bag this past weekend, Iโ€™m that ready, lol

You go girl! It's amazing how much Protein will keep you filled. I'll make a list and pack this weekend. I don't think I'll be bringing too much. Can't believe our day is almost here.

Protein is so ridiculously filling but I love that itโ€™s filling! In my hospital bag I have 3 days worth of loose comfy clothes, a pair of slippers, a pair of flip flops, gas x, a tooth brush, tooth paste, and deodorant. So pretty much the essentials, lol

      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.
