There are several different brands & have different amounts of Protein. New Whey has 42g protein, and is uner 4 oz. They come in quite a few different flavors, and are a bit thicker than the protein waters, but not bad tasting. A great way to get your protein in on days when you're not very hungry. GNC carries several brands.

Thanks. My Dr. say not to drink my Protein but how is it possible to eat that much protein a day with 3 meals/day and no Snacks? I might try them. I tried the Isopure but too much to drink. Anyway agin thanks for the information.

My doctor does tell me to eat the solid food of course to allow the band to work properly but she did not tell me not to drink Protein. What she did say was to exchange the protein for the meal if I chose to drink it. I drink a Protein Shake in the mornings because I was never a Breakfast person and I take a chewable Vitamin. I also drink one or two depending on how busy I am that day of protein lemonades. They have 15 grams of protein and it is during the time of day I am drinking my liquids anyway so why not get the protein in during that time? It seems to be working for me. But as always, your surgeon has his/her own agenda for you and you should follow their plan.

It is also Syntrax. You can get it on their website. It is fabulous. They gave it to me in the hospital (under their name of course) and I wouldn't rest until I found out what kind it was.

Is it the Grab n' Go? That was the only nectar I saw that came in lemon.

Tks.

Thanks seeing we have the same surgeon and he probably told you something close to or the same as me, I will try them cause I know I am not getting even ½ the Protein. Thanks again everyone.:o

Oh. Sorry. I forgot to say go to Syntrax on your search engine and then to Supplement Warehouse. That is where I buy mine. They have the Grab and Go but I have never used that. I am assuming it is in pouches. If you scroll down from that, you will see the 2 lb tubs. They have all kinds of flavors. I mix the truffle with skim milk in the mornings and then mix the Roadside Lemonade with Water in the afternoon. It only takes six ounces so it is quick to drink and then I continue on with my Crystal Light pink lemonade.

      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.
