I don't remember what I felt but I do remember throwing up everywhere. No one else has mentioned this, so I must have been an anomaly.

I remember that I didn't care what it tasted like, it was the first liquid I was allowed to drink, and man was I thristy!

I don't recall it making me feel bad though. My doctor was really pleased with everything, and I then got clearance to drink so I was ecstatic.

It tasted like a sweet chalk milkshake. Not good but not that big a deal. Upper GI was one of the easier tests.

I projectile vomited all over the machine. The tech got a little pissy with me! At first the inflammation wouldn't even let the contrast through.

If you are talking about the swallow test after surgery, it wasn't that bad. I was so thirsty that I was actually excited. They have you drink about 3 small swallows. It only equals about 2 oz total if that. Mine tasted like what you would imagine really strong clorinated pool Water would taste like...Not great but tolerable..

Mine was a clear liquid in a one ounce cup that tasted like cough Syrup. Not too bad.

I was gagging the entire way back to my room after the test then when I sat down in my room I yacked it all back up. It tastes awful and felt like a brick. But after I got it out it was real easy for me to start sipping my Propel!

Don't worry. I did the exact same thing. I was already extremely nauseas before the test so as soon as I took a sip of it. It came right back up.

I kept vomiting, so we had to keep stopping and doing the test over and over again. It was disgusting and I pray I never have to take that test again.

Yes, I thought I was gonna throw up but I just gagged after every sip! Lol the good. Dr also yelled at me for not getting it down fast enough!

Did anyone else have to turn around on the table while laying down? I swear I felt like a beached whale!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
