First off I usually have a few different flavored Protein powders- vanilla, plain, chocolate, peaches n' cream. That usually helps. Avacado makes a smoothy really creamy, I've tried just about every fruit under the sun and bananas and some berry is usually the best. I have also tried mixing my drink with almond milk, coconut milk, plain milk for variety. What else can you do to mix it up.........................sugar free syrups, the kind you buy for coffee drinks can help give you more flavor options too. Hope it helps. Wish I could fix the consistency- that's what I struggle with. Good Luck! :-)

I'm still 2 mo. away from surgery so I'm not sure how "legal" it is because a banana dosent seem like it has a place in VSG, but my favorite is.....

2 scoop Isopure Zero Carb Dutch chocolate

1 or 2 tbsp (depending on how MFP is looking)

1 banana

**I use Water and ice and blend it real good!

Even w/o the banana chocolate & Peanut Butter is super good! I love the Isopure brand and have been using their Proteins for many years! I'm crossing my fingers I still like them after surgery! GNC sells them, but Amazon gives the best deals!

For the past 5 months pre surgery I have been compiling a list of different Protein Shake recipies. If you will email me at klaws2719@yahoo I will gladly send it to you.

You can also add sugar free soda the blender takes out the carbonation. I used to love adding 6oz of sugar free orange crush, ice cubes, vanilla Protein Powder and mandarins oranges to make an orange creamsical Protein Shake. It was my favorite pre-op drink recommended by my surgeons office.

      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.
