Can't drink it, makes me soooo nauseated. And now I got to where I don't want it. I'm thinking of maybe a Protein supplement... Like a vitamin... Does that make sense? Lol.

I am getting sick of it too. And the Vitamins don't help either. I keep telling myself I best keep doing it if I want to keep this long, thick hair that my hubby so loves.

I had major trouble with Protein in the beginning. My nut told me to try different brands to see what would work, as long as it had 18 out of 20 amino acids. Finally figured out whey Protein was making me really sick. I now drink GNC soy protein. I like the chocolate mixed with Water and will sometimes add Torani coconut Syrup. On weekends I'll throw it together with coffee, ice, and some whipped cream, blend it in the Bullet, and it's my version of mocha frappacino!!

My advice is to not stress out about it too much during the first couple of weeks, but keep trying things till you hit on something that will work. Not sure there's a magic pill out there, but if you find one, let me know!!

I hear ya - I am two weeks out and I can barely choke my Protein down - I have tried sooo many brands, they all taste terrible after surgery, on ice, diluted, no matter what I do. I knew I would struggle because I do not like sweet things, and I swear everything is sweet - Vitamins, Protein, etc.

I have been limping along with protein Soup, fortified low-fat milk, and my Clear Liquids - so fatigued by the taste of aspartame it isnt even funny. Everything tastes like chemicals - so my little cup of milk and its 9 g of protein is like heaven. I know it has more carbs than I probably should have but I have barely been getting 100-200 cals a day in - so until next week when I am advanced, it will have to do.

Thank goodness for protein chicken Soup mix - saving my life lol.

If there was a chicken broth flavored Premier Protein I would be doing a very happy dance lol.

      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.
