Protein shakes are for me ONLY the day afer a fill, and for that unpleasantness of last month when I go way toooo tight. other than that, no, I don't drink them.

I like to chew,and a shake doesn't meet that need/desire.

I'm glad I'm not the only one tapshoes. Eating is fun, and I love it...hence my problem. Drinking...well unless it has alcohol in it or it's just plain Water I'm just not that into it.

Ps- I am not an alcoholic, that was a joke.

One can stop taking Protein Shakes once they reach the stage of solid foods. Instead of shakes try to get the daily intake of Protein from solid food and a good whey Protein Powder. One can find Proteins in Beans, meat, eggs, dairy products, fish, fruits and vegetables, cereals, etc. My friend visited her doctor Dr. Nilesh Patel at Lap band Austin last month and consulted him regarding the drinking of protein shakes. He only suggested one can replace it with other items and can take shake every alternate day, if she wishes too.

I should pick up on them again...when I do drink one in morning mixed with flaxseed meal it holds off the hunger monster much longer, and I tend to eat less during the rest of the day... the shakes are also what I turn to when the weight in a plateu. My therapist recommends I go back to back one a day...she wants me to start again tomorow actually...

      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.
