well I tried the protien shake again today and someone told me to hold my nose and drink it as fast as I can, so I did that and I couldnt taste it!!! the person that told me that said when you smell what you are drinking you will taste it. so try this trick if you dont like the shakes next time you have one.

You could hold your nose and miss any taste, but why not switch brands, product lines or flavors until you find one you like instead of putting up with a bad experience? Everyone likes their own version of their whey Protein Shake, but if you are on VST for long enough time, you will see more people gravitate towards certain brands and flavors. Might I suggest you send away for some Unjury and nectar sample packs. There might be other brand sample packs out there. This will give you an experience to try out different flavors and brands until you find one that you enjoy. I happen to enjoy taking my nectar Cookies and creme and also muscle milk light cake batter. I love drinking shakes, but there are certain flavors I do not like (fruit) and certain brands I do not care for (Costco brand).

The GNC Amplified Wheybolic 60 is really good as a recovery Protein shake drink because of bcaa (amino acids) in it among other things. Taste is good. I do Cookies and creme.

Mmm...cookies and creme sounds great!

It is *so* yummy if you are interesting in dessert flavors. I love cake batter, Cookies and creme, vanilla bean, chocolate truffle. Maybe others know some more good dessert flavors like banana foster, brownie, chocolate mint, banana split, etc. I would go for it as long as it is 1-2 carbs of sugar. Maybe we need just a good set of recipes for flavoring up the plain Protein powder.< /p>

      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.
