It would be ideal to drink the shakes but like you, I can no longer tolerate them. I have tried different brands and wasted way too much money since being sleeved in July. I have one or two more to try before giving up for good. I'd have already thrown in the towel except I know how important Protein is to a body.

Try making Protein ice cream - recipes on "the world according to eggface" blog. It tastes waaaay better.

Since surgery my shakes taste aweful! The Protein chicken broth is ok (Unjury brand)-but tastes salty and it cools off before I can finish! Finally today I tried unflavored whey (Unjury brand, again) with my raspberry lemonade Chrystal Lite-Bingo! Delish! The trick is only make 8 oz. at time w/ 1/2 scoop, 2-3 ice cubes- shake in shaker bottle. 11 grams. I had 2 today plus Soup and 1/2 choc.shake! Finally met protein goal 1st time since surgery. If you like CL you should try this.

      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.
