Bad but Good

Try some clear broth along with a protein drink. That may help with the hunger. Hang in there...

Have about 4 protein drinks a day (at meal times) ... If it was like my diet you can also have low carb yogurt once a day, sugar free jello and sugar free pudding. with the pudding I put a scoop of protein powder in it as well ... You can have broth etc. Dont worry about just "eating" at the right times, take advantage of the broth, jello pudding etc. Good job on your weightloss and good luck with the future!

I am getting banded on November 22nd and wondering how I am going to get through a 14 day protein shake regimen until surgery. I don't like milk products and I hate protein powders. Why can't they let you have Kashi cereal which has as much protein and fiber as a scoop of the crap?

I too had trouble with the protein powder I was given. About my 3rd day I informed the nurse that I could no longer drink it because I was gagging. I can't stand sweet stuff. I am not a candy, donut, cakes or cookies lover that much so I knew if this stuff was sweet, I would have problem. She told me to mix it with skim milk instead of water so I did. She told me to contact her back if it didn't help. It didn't help so I contacted her back and I got no reply back. That was 3 days ago. So, I went on this site to ask people what they drank and someone suggested Atkins protein drink. I got it and it isn't bad. At least it isn't thick. I can drink it down easily. I lost 10 pounds and it is only my 6th day. They have me on it for 12 days instead of 14. What is so frustrating, so many people drank so many different things for the same exact surgery. You'd think it would be the same for everyone. Let me know how you are doing. I know what it is like to have trouble. I truly hope you do well.
