Id call your nutritionist. I am 8 months out and have come to love the Atkins Advantage shakes for my protein (15 grams each). I like the cappacino one right now. Also did the Cookies and cream Oh Yeah shakes for a long time. Everybody's tastes are different & it is tough at first. It gets so much better I promise. Hang in there.

You can't keep anything down? Is that what's going on? You should be able to do a little more then 3oz on a whole day by now. Talk to your surgeons office. If you feel dizzy it's because your not eating enough and getting in enough calories to fuel your body.

I like the Atkins strawberry banana. I haven't seen the cappacino.

      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.
