There's not enough Protein in any pill you're going to take. You'd need to swallow an entire bottle to meet your daily goals.

Lots of soft foods have Protein.

Greek yogurt, oatmeal, refried Beans, cottage cheese, soft poached fish, split pea Soup

Also, you might be able to tolerate Protein Bars soon if you stick with smooth texture ones that don't have seeds and nuts.

I know everyone's tastes are different and taste buds change after surgery, but I've used the Isopure Unflavored powder in Water with a sugar free flavor packet (like fruit punch flavor) and I've found them to be really good. They don't change the flavor or thickness considerably and give you 25g of Protein with 0 carbs and 100 calories. I use one of the shaker bottles to make sure it's all dissolved. Also, I use the caramel premade Premier Protein in my coffee as a "creamer." That's a tip I got on here. I tried putting powder in my coffee and was not successful. ugh

I like Bariatric Protein Soups - the cream of chicken is really good and I’m excited to try the cream of corn- it’s 6oz with 15 grams of protein but it’s liquid so if I drink very slowly I have no problem with it - it’s nice to have something that’s not sweet- I’m 4 days out

      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.
