I am still in full liquids, and I am really having trouble getting protein in. All of the protein powders say to add 8-16 oz of water or milk. I can barely take in 3 oz every 2 hours. Any tips on how to get it in?

Hi Amanda, congratulations on your surgery. I am day 5 out and I have found it takes me about 1 - 2 hours to get a 'meal' in so sip sip sip! I put my drink in a flask and just sip away at it; normally by mid morning I'll have managed to drink my breakfast! I use beneprotein powder in all of my smoothies too which is quite high in Protein but has no calories or fat whatsoever. Good luck; sip sip sip!

I am 9 days post op! So awesome we are almost on the same track! Where did you purchase the protein?

I'm located in Western Australia - I purchased it from a place called Surgical House which stocks all hospital items.

Oh wow, Australia! How many grams of protein and what's the serving size?

does it have a taste?

Premier Protein ready to drink has 30g per serving. You can meet your protein requirements with two drinks,

Where do you purchase Premier at, how much do you mix with it, do you use milk or water?

Beneprotein sounds great! I looked it up. 25 kcals and 6g protein for only 7g (1.5tsbp) of powder!

No taste. One scoop contains 12% of daily intake (1 scoop is 1 and a half tablespoons). Last night I made a banana and cinnamon smoothie (from my weight loss for bariatrics bible!) and 1 cup contained 18.5 grams of Protein. I think Nestle is an American brand? So it should be available from the states.

Yes sorry, calories but no carbohydrates!

ooo..that sounds wonderful! I am going to look for the Beneprotein! Thank you!

I drink Premier Protein chocolate drinks. They can be purchased at Walmart and Sam's Club. I pay $16.?? For a 12 pack at Sam's. They are $7.82 for a 4-pack at Walmart.

I'm 7 weeks out. Just tried the Premier Protein choc fudge bar (30 g) from Walmart. It was good. Only $1.18 each bar.

Wow Premier Protein sounds great. Wish we had Walmart over here. That's a high protein intake for sure

Same here I'm post op day 19 and I've had barely no protein. I'm really having a bad time with this surgery. Just ordered new protein called unjury hopefully it works. The vanilla one i have is disgusting
