We all have such different tastes. Why not buy a few and try them? My husband likes Muscle Milk and I like Atkins shakes. some are pre-mixed and others are powders that you mix.

You'll also find lots of recipes using the powders under the food and recipe section on the forum.

I am pre-op as well and have looked around online to find companies that offer sample packs or sell individual packages of their Protein powders. That stuff is expensive and I would hate to spend $30+ on something I end up not liking and feeling liek I have to drink it anyway because I paid so much for it. I have also seen some protein "swaps" on here from time to time, so that wouls be another way to try things out without spending a bunch of money.

My favorite is EAS . You can get it at Walmart for $5.98 for 4 . They have 17 grams of Protein in each and 110 cal. They also have EAS with 20 grams of protein and 170 cal. for $6.98 for 4 .

My doctor has a very strict pre-op diet plan. I'm drinking Lemon Tea Nector, which isn't too bad at all. The only problem is that it is difficult to mix. I am using an electric baby formula mixer that works great (purchased in the baby section of wal-mart $4).

All I'm allowed to eat is four 90 calories each Protein drinks, and two 150 calorie Protein Bars. Thats 660 calories per day!! YIKES that's it? I'm only on day three and having a rough time. I feel weak and generally crummy. In the past four days I have dropped 10lbs...

I've noticed that other doctors pre-op diets aren't nearly as restrictive as mine, but am none the less going to be my best to stick with it.

I have been drinking only the Atkins Advantage- I have a 10 strick day pre-op diet- I have 2 or 3 drinks a day. I tried a powder from GNC- didn't like it too much...My husband and I are both getting our surgery on Monday.

He has already lost 15 lbs since Friday!

      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.
