Yea the shakes can be a pain. I like Eas vanilla crime with 26 grams of Protein. I use SF Almond milk or lactaid milk with a little cinnamon and it's not bad.

It is tough! I think that has been my biggest challenge post surgery! I am always searching on here for the next, new, Protein Drink to try. I am going to try Unjury next cuz it sounds like you can get Protein almost in a clear form and isn't too sweet- that is my biggest issue! They are all too damn sweet for me! You can do this- there are so many of us on here that struggle with the same thing and if we can do it so can you! Hang in there. What brands have you tried? The only one I can get down right now is called Metagenics Rice Protein. I can't even stomach whey anymore so I am on to rice and after rice I will probably try a mix-protein blend. But you can do it!

Try different ones - none are great but some are more tolerable. I guess the way i could do it is because I had to.

The ones I settled on was the chocolate premixed ones I bought at costco called Premier Protein. Low carb and 30 g of Protein.< /p>

I found the Syntrax nectar to be the best one for mixing up. It is really low calorie too. I made all sorts of creative shakes using their basic choc and vanilla and mixing sugar free flavorings. You can get a sample pack of the Syntrax and try all their fruity flavors too.

Try some others. The pre-op diet phase is miniscule in relation to the rest of your life. You will get through it.

Here are some links to places that will send you free samples of their products. I just sent emails to each of them telling them I was a bariatric patient and would love to sample their products and gave my home mailing address. Within 2 weeks most had sent me samples. That's a good way to try different ones. Also, your taste buds will keep changing so keep trying! The first few months sweet things are just TOO SWEET. That goes away and you can tolerate sweets better. My favorite RTD Protein shake is Premier chocolate (at Costco's and Sam's) with 30g Protein but it probably took me 4 months before I liked it.

Don't be worried; it will all fall into place. Did your nutritionist go over the Vitamins, quantities and forms (gummy, pill, chewable, under-tongue, etc.) you need? Get those and one or more pill cases now. The pill cases are cheap and will allow you to line up in advance the pills and vitamins you will need. Keep all your pills and vitamins in one place. I use a kitchen cabinet and put them on a tray so that taking them all out to refill the pill cases is easy.It won't take long before getting the right pills and vitamins in the cases is an easy routine.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
