Hey Sleevers,

My surgery is set for this Monday December 29th at 9:30am but i'm having some issues with getting the amount of protein in that i'm suppose to. They want us to get 60-80 but I just can't see how that is going to be possible being on a clear liquid diet after the surgery. I can hardly get the required amount now and I haven't even had the surgery yet. Help please!!! Any advice would be appreciated!

Doesn't the bariatric drink have lots of protein? I put a banana in my drink which I'm sure probable has protein. I'm also allowed raw veggies and fruit in between. In my drink I think there are 27 grams of protein, 2 drinks a day puts you to 54. I just started my drink today and already hungry. Urrrrrrr

I purchase Isopure as it seems to offer the most protein with little or no carb, depending on the flavor you purchase. So far, the Vitamin Shoppe has offered it at the best price. I signed up as a member (free) and purchased in bulk during a sale which included free shipping. To add protein, I mix it with Mootopia Milk (@ HEB) or CarbMaster Milk (@ Kroger). Hope this helps.

Add unflavored protein powder or chicken flavored protein powder to your drinks and broth and have that 3 times per day. Each serving is 20 grams of protein plus whatever you're adding it to.

Thank you! I'm about to head to the Vitamin Shoppe now!
