have you tried the shakes at unjury.com? I had a horrible time with Protein Shakes until I found them. I was literally gagging trying to choke them down. I'm not sure what was worse the smell or the taste! Unjury.com I have gotten chocolate splendor (tastes a lot like chocolate milk - I mix it with skim milk). The chicken Soup one isn't bad either. I highly recommend them. Also, I purchased a "blender bottle" from Amazon. You wouldn't think it matters but the fact is, the better mixed the shake is the better it tastes. A lot of that horrid smell is because of undissolved powder (thanks to the GNC guy for telling me, turns out he was correct!). That little ball in the Blender Bottle makes all the difference. I now almost enjoy the shakes! That's a big change from dreading them.

Hang in there- I am almost 6 wks post op and am just now where Im able to eat a drink without pain. Drinking has been the hardest and this week I was finally able to drink 50oz per day! I'm slowly getting to where I should be. It gets better with time!!

      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.
