I'm really having a hard time getting more than 2 shakes down per day. Anyone else?? They taste fine, just I just can't do it. I would rather go hungry.

I can do three and then I'm done...I've switched to hot tea and chicken broth for my last 'meal' of the day then I go to bed early lol

Steph are you on a completely liquid diet or do you get one small meal a day? If you can only have shakes add more Protein Powder to each so you are getting your Protein in for the day. Hope this helps.

I can have one small meal per day- 800 calories per day. I tried a different brand of shake and still can't drink more than 2 per day. I should be having 4-5 per day, according to my doctor.

Oh and my doctor said I just need to be getting 60 grams of Protein a day from my shakes. So I drink 2 a day with extra protein in them to get my 60 grams a dy. I would ask your doctor about how much protein you should be getting a day.

Steph04, Good luck on the 11th. My surgery is on the 14th.We are starting at about the same weight. I don't have to do a pre-op diet but it sounds tough. Stay strong.
