My experience so far is if I can smell the Protein I am going to have trouble getting it down or if I can choke it down it will make me feel yucky for a while afterwards. I actually like the things I listed and hope that they might help someone else. I wish there were more savory choices. I am about tired of sweet taste. Part of my issue too is that I live in a rural area so I have either ordered my protein powders off the Internet or gotten it from the doctor's office. I also put a few drops of imitation banana flavoring in the banana cream shake before I got the SF pudding and that was not good to me. I could drink it but it was not an enhancement! Good luck!

I am not a sweets person at all! It's starting to make me sick. I ordered unjury chicken Soup online and unflavored protein. Go google Unjury protein. It was $50 for those two canisters. The chicken soup has 21 g or protein and ill add the unflavored to other things I like.

I haven't had much luck with the unflavored. It has "the smell". Tried it in orange Jello. Could get it down but wasn't crazy about it. Love the chicken soup flavor though.

I just bought a goal dress at Ross (so I didn't spend much) in hopes of wearing it in August to a wedding. I found a blog where this girl had goal dresses and it motivated her to workout. I'm going to give it a try!!

      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.
