I was banded two weeks ago. I was on clear liquids for the first week and then was told I could add liquid yougurt and protein drinks. I was told I should use Glucerna since I am diabetic. Used it during my pre op diet and surprisingly, tastes good. The nutritionist told me I need to drink 30g of protein a day. Glucerna only has 10 g. I am only getting about maybe 14-15grams / day. I tried the protein powder drinks and they were nasty. Couldn't stomach them. Why do you have to have 30g of protein and what happens if you don't get it?

how long have you had your band for? 4years?

i love the Nectar Caribean Cooler. its 90 calories and 23 grams of protein... mmmm

how long have you had your band for? 4years?

Unjury is a brand of protein. Welcome to the UNJURY Homepage

Atkins... the protein/calorie ration is not great. I use them every now and again because they come in a can and are convenient. But I don't know about quality one way or another. I would have to look at the label and see their QA process.
