Simplyfedup,

One good piece of news I have for you about the flavor of the protien shakes, and flavor of everything in general, is that immediately after surgery, your taste buds will change change change! I don't know the exact science, and I was kind of freaked out by it, I'd read about it but experiencing it was both good and bad. Before my surgery, I was a salt fiend, now everything is very salty. I tried a bite of bacon, YUCK! This change in taste buds for me makes the protien shakes more pallatable. I mix mine with just Water. Also, I have found that warm and hot liquids go down much easier than cold. Hopefully the tastebud change will make your protien taste better also! I recommend the unjury sample pack, you get many of their flavors including unflavored powder which you can mix with any liquid to make it have more protien. Good luck!

wow thanks great info......I'm so not looking forward to that change but at least now I know what to expect. Lol at you trying that piece of bacon. As you said hopefully the shakes will get better in my case. Unjury sample pack huh? I guess I'll be ordering that as well...everyone praises their chicken broth.....I tried mixing my whey Protein powder with juice today instead of Water and although I'm still sipping it, it is extremely sweet......thanks so much for this info it really helps to know

      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.
