I've been good w/the calorie intake...not good enough w/the Protein intake. I've been way under and I need to help the healing process & curb this voracios hunger that peeks its ugly head once in a while.

What powders does anyone recommend and why?

...there are SOOOOO many in the market. I just dont want to buy this tub of Protein and have it go to waste because it makes me gag....please help me w/some suggestions.:lol:

I love Unjury. You can just by the single serve to try for the taste. Unjury.com

It also comes unflavored so you can add it to everything!

good luck

I like Dymatize Elite whey Protein. It mixes up with Water, juice, or milk and I add half a banana for some smoothiness and then ice. It's like a choc shake. 23 grams of Protein per scoop. I like the choc and vanilla the best (i can add fresh fruit to flavor it), but don't really care for the other flavors. If you do try it, you can go to their website, but it's about half the price on massnutrition.com.

I also like the Protein Bullets by IDS. They are called liquid whey Protein. Each 3 oz bullet has 42 g of protein. You can do it like a shot but I prefer to mix half a tube with Water and ice and sip on it like a kool aid drink. My doc said to drink a lot of water with it because it's a lot of protein for your body at once. The grape is my favorite. Not a fan of trop fruit, but I don't care for those flavors in most things. You can also get them at massnutrition.com. Lots of pharmacies carry them, too. Just not around where I live out in the sticks.

      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.
