Hi all' date=' I am just about about to start mixing up my own shakes but wondering what to use?

Milk, Water, ice or yogurt! I stopped drinking them cause I couldn't stand the taste, but got to find a way to get in the Protein, cause I've been trying to get in with food and its not doing the job!

If the powder doesn't work ill be making a trip to costco cause I hear the that they are great!

Thanks[/quote']

There was an awesome recipe on here the other day. I made it today and I loved it. Tastes just like a yogurt smoothie. 1 cup of skim milk. 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt (fat free) and a few drops of mio or a little bit of crystal light. Put everything in a shaker cup...shake and enjoy! 21gms of Protein in 400mls (1 serving)

I find that I really like using the soy milk, I use only 1 cup and a scoop of body fortress Protein powder, I find I like the chocolate better then anything...

I find the milk is more filling and seems to keep me full, and when I feel that I need more Water I mix my powders with Water it doesn't actually taste that bad, to make it kind of like a shake I mix in ice and a bit of plain fat free yogurt!

It seems to be working as I was stuck in a stall for almost a month and just since then I've lost like 6 pounds!

It's hard to say what your gunna like I've also just tried plain yogurt with slice canned peaches packed in water and that tasted amazing as well!

I just keep trying new things as sometimes I like them and sometimes I don't, it's frustrating to see how much money I spend and not like what I bought, it's a good thing I have friends and family who like getting the stuff I don't like! :)

      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.
