Yes, I did and still do when I want it to be thick and extra cold, you can also add Peanut Butter, berries and sugar free syrups to change up the flavors. I use peanut butter powder which is lower in fat and calories than regular peanut butter. I love vanilla Protein Powder, peanut butter and sugar free salted carmel Syrup. Tastes like a milkshake to me that is good for me.

Pb what a great idea. I also froze juice cubes and blend those in as well. Everyone raved about the Unjury powder, but I think it is gross. Everyone's palate is different. I had Greek yogurt yesterday which had chunks that I blended. I ate it really slowly though. I did the same with broccoli Soup today and I added melted cheese for protien. Ate that extra extra slow. I had a cup of it over 45 minutes, but then did not want anything else for hours. Just Water. It is kind of fun to experiment, but sort of scary too.

Yes, you can. It would depend on whether or not you needed the extra Protein provided by milk to meet your daily protein goals. When I was on my pre and post op diet, I needed the extra protein from the milk.

I have made my shakes with ice or milk, either way is good for me, but the ice definitely makes it thick and more like a "shake". :)

      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.
