No, but I mix mine with coconut milk. It is yummy and much better than dairy milk.

oh yes, all mine pre-op were made with Water. To be honest, once they sat in the fridge for 20 min, I could not tell. Plug your nose and down the hatch!

Is it because of calories? It is there a medical reason? I put in a call to my Dr to ask.

The ones I used had to be mixed with Water. Most have some kind of "milk" powder in them already and yes it is because of calories. It might be hard but the preop is only a short period of time, best to suck it up and just get on with it, it will be over before you know it.

My pre-op were with Water. I just tried to get them down as fast as possible. Now I use unsweetened almond milk.

I hate shakes with Water. I use skim milk and I know people use almond milk. Maybe ask if you can use the almond milk its very low in calories.

Preop was Water, could use milk post op. I used nectar Cookies and cream. It was good with slightly warm water.

I make mine with unsweetened almond coconut milk( yes! They make a combination one, Blue Diamond brand) It's thinner than milk but tastes SO good.

BUT if your doctor requires Water you should follow her/his instructions.

      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.
