New Direction shakes



Recommended Posts

Is anyone using the New Direction shakes? I can't get these to blend properly no matter what I do to them. I am drinking chunky hot chocolate. Day 3 and I am more frustrated by this than not eating! This was an expensive liquid diet promoted by my hospital and yet the shakes are awful.

I hope that you did not invest too much money into these shakes. I always tell people that I see/meet to get samples. You are going to have to live off of this stuff for awhile so you want to make sure that you can tolerate it right? Spend a few dollars and go with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or Syntrax nectar (not their juices)

I paid $145 for 7 boxes of 7 packets. The taste is not bad, except for strawberry, but nothing mixes well. I was told that was what I had to use and buy at the hospital. I was not given other options. A little disappointed to see others are not using this particular brand.

I like the new direction pudding and shakes . For the hot chocolate ..if it gets too hot it coagulates . So you can't have it too hot. Do u have a blender to blend the shake to smooth it out Try the chocolate pudding., it is my fave.

      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.
