Closest whole foods is on the other side of the state, or in Chicago. Buuuut, I gotta go to wally world tomorrow. I'll check it out.

I got raspberry, vanilla and hazelnut. Omg. Yummy. If you add raspberry to chocolate pudding it's delish. Or to vanilla yogurt. I'm just sayin.

Just a dash. And stir and add more. Lol. Not even as much as you'd squeeze chocolate into milk to mix to make chocolate milk.

They are delish. Also, if you like chocolate covered strawberries you can toss frozen strawberries into a chocolate shake, I used the RTD premier and blended them when I was on my supervised diet. No ice needed. The frozen strawberries did the job.

At first we can't have them Bc of the seeds, but I can't wait. Lol

Are you allowed to have fruit now?

I can't wait to go to Walmart tomorrow. Apparently there is a root beer extract, and when added to walmart a vanilla Protein drink, it makes it at taste like a root beer float. NEED IT.

You need to give reviews after I try it. No fruit for a very long time. Protein, veggies, fruit then carbs. My nut made it sound like I'd never have fruit and it bummed me out. But then it was explained in prep class.

I've found that Protein powder is only good in the chocolate or chocolate swirl puddings. Not vanilla. Not even vanilla if you freeze it. It's gross. Maybe if I add some Mio or raspberry. I'll try it again I'm sure.

I'm referring to sugar-free puddings of course.

Believe it or not, I literally can not tell on the chocolate except for the fact that after you mix it up, it's runny. So I set it in the fridge or freezer to let it thicken back up.

In the vanilla or dulce de leches it's horrid

have you tried EAS AdvantEdge RTD, they are not as thick as some of the others. The chocolate fudge and strawberry are my favs, but the cafe' caramel is also good.

If it's the milk like flavors that you don't like try Isopure Zero carb, there is a rtd and powders.

Also nectar makes many flavors of powder that are good.

I just can't stomach those Protein shakes, there has to be a better way .

I am not sure about pre op. I stuck to the directions on the canister. I just mixed fusion bariatric Protein Powder with the almond milk and a couple ice cubes to add thickness. I had surgery Feb. 3rd so I am like 11 days post op. I am doing pretty good thanks for asking. I had a bad day today. Nothing was sitting well except Water. I am still extremely fatigued but I have one more week off for a total of 3 weeks. Its hard to catch up on rest since I have a three year old who is a boss. :D

I'm def worried about the fatigue! Bless your heart... I'm sure this is difficult with a toddler. How much have you lost?

I started my pre op diet at 253 (10 days liver reduction diet.... cheated a couple times). On my surgery date (Feb 3) I was about 242. I haven't weighted myself today but yesterday I was 234. So nearly 20 lbs.

I got sick of the shakes fast and even now when I drink them (6 months) I get grossed out. Now I make Protein hemp muffins using vegan powders instead for protein light days. What about them makes you gag?

I absolutely love Hemp Protein Powder (I get the hi-Fiber kind). I have to start experimenting more with recipes that call for more plant based Proteins. I feel the best when I eat clean and stay away from as many processed, packaged things. That is why I am leaning more toward making my own shakes instead of the store bought.

Please share recipes as you find them. I love discovering cleaner more veggified foods! I'm going to experiment with making some nut cheeses.

      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.
