So, I actually found a plant based Protein Powder at SAMs and it has worked really well. I am able to drink it and it doesn't hit my stomach hard at all. Thank goodness. Be careful though if you look at SAMs, they have more than one plant based Protein, one of them is full of sugar.

Also, I only just ordered the sample variety pack of single-serving Syntex nectar Protein powder and I was amazed at how good the "non-creamy" fruit flavors are. It mixes easily and achieves the consistency of Water or crystal lite. Only six grams of protein per serving, but could at least be a boost to what you're already taking in.

Apologies for two errors in my previous post. First, the name of the product is Syntax (not Syntex); and second, it has 23-24 grams of protein per serving (my food logging app was registering 1/4 packet for some reason!).

I have not tried those, I have tried the Protein 2.0 and the premier clear. They actually make me thirstier. I have Quest on the way to try those. I am doing yogurt, but I worry since I can't eat the whole thing that I'm still lacking in protein. Even putting the flavorless in foods, when I don't finish it, am I really getting much protein?

I have tried those two clear ones, Premier Protein, and the Protein Shots. Like I said, I have Quest on the way, but it seems most protein hits my stomach really hard. Should I try another type of protein?

Thanks!

I use Quest they are awesome the use dehydrated banana strawberry peanut in there different flavors instead of artificial flavors. Love the 100 calories and it’s more filling for me then the other brands.

      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.
