So I am sure everyone struggles to find a Protein Shake they can tolerate and I am trying to find mine. So tonight I wanted to try something different... I got creative okay okay I did not invent electricity but I was proud that I knew I was not going to be gagging to get it down. I put unflavored Unjury in my GE personal drink mixer <Sort of like a magic bullet but only 14 bucks not 60 and has been a LIFESAVER!!> anyway I put in 2 ounces of Water and filled the cup up with ice and added Crystal Light fruit punch to go pack and blended. It was delicious! Thinking of trying some other crystal lights and unflavored unjury this way... Anyone else got a good one?

Have you already tried baking extracts? I got some artificial strawberry, coconut, and maple and I'm eager to try them. I'm thinking for Breakfast to do maple with a vanilla shake, maybe throw in a little banana.< /p>

No I have not thought of that let me know how it turns out. I have found several different items that I can use since I am a condiment aholic. Like my pre op diet I am allowed green salad anything you can think of broccoli banana pepper cucumber green onion. and I love love love dressing and lots of it so there is no way I could just sit there and eat lettuce undressed. The wishbone salad spritzers are only 1 calorie a spray no carbs or sugars and actually satisfies my need for dressing.

Me too! I love dressings so much. I threw out all of them from my house and said my goodbyes last week. Unfortunately I am on all liquids :angry: for the 2 weeks but I will definitely have to try them once I'm able to. Do you have any flavors to recommend?

Well I love ranch ranch and more ranch and they have ranch but believe it or not I like the Italian it has more flavor. I have not tried the balsamic vinegar yet but plan to this coming up weekend. There is one more flavor but my grocery store does not carry it i think it is a oil and vinegar or something.

Sounds good. Normally I'd make my own ranch, it was sooooo yummy. I tried making a lower calorie version but I'm ridding myself of my dipping problem, or at least trying to. But I will have to try those out!

      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.
