Try the powdered boost the chocolate is the best. Just add a scoop to 2% milk and it is just like drinking chocolate milk it doesnt have as much protien as the Protein Shakes but it will get you through.

can you blend them with ice. they taste much better really cold. Or add a few strawberries and blend to give a better taste?

By tolerate do you mean the taste or are you vomiting them up being unable to physically tolerate them? If it is just taste then try some different ones. I find Muscle Milk vanilla Creme doesn't have much of "that" taste and Unjury unflavored doesn't either. Adding fruit and ice does help with the taste as well. Just experiment til you find something that will work for you. It is important for healing to get in your Protein.< /p>

I'm on my pre op as well. They've been making me nautious as well although I think for a different reason. Someone suggested to me on here to try carnation instant Breakfast. I had some today mixed with skim milk and I really liked it! Plus, with the skim milk, it has 14 grams of Protein. Good luck!

If you have a juicer try making some fresh strained juice for yourself. If it's to thick, you can Water it down.

For now as long as you get some fluids, and stay hydrated.

I couldn't stand the Protein Shakes that I had to drink pre-op...so the second week post op I drank Jugo juice Protein shakes (Tropical Protein is wonderful). I could only drink about half of one at a time, but they really hit the spot and are very healthy as well. I would only drink a maximum of one of these Jugo Juice shakes per day and I also drank 1% milk (which has similar amounts of calories, carbs, fat and protein as the protein shakes without the gross taste, weird smell and texture). I would also make cream Soups (milk plus pureed vegetables) for a change. Hope this helps...Good luck!

      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.
