whey Protein is #1 and the latest one that is catching up to whey is pea protein. If you buy the powder, you can mix it with Water and drink it really cold. Just read the product info before buying to make sure you aren't getting a lot of sugars etc...

I make unsweeted almond milk into ice cubes and mix it with whey powder and vanilla = milkshake!

I can't have whey Proteins, so I use soy and rice. The problem with pea Protein is that it doesn't have the amino acids that whey protein has, so you HAVE to supplement with a vegan protein supplement if you rely on pea proteins. They sell the supplement on the Unjury website. Rice protein isolates are the only other proteins that have all the amino acids added in, as far as I could tell. When I *could* tolerate whey, my favorite ever was nectar Fuzzy Navel. Oh lawd it was tasty. 365 Everyday Soy Unsweet Vanilla from Whole Foods tastes like cake batter. Nom nom.

      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.
