You can add small amounts of powdered crystal light; I also sometimes add a spoonful of cocoa to help. There are also sugar-free flavored syrups you can buy - DaVinci or Torani to help with the flavor.

You may also have to experiment to find one you like better. I tried several and was only able to drink powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. Lot's of people here like Premiere but they made me gag.Try mixing them with other things besides Water too, and as Peggy Jean mentioned, add flavorings to help hide the whey taste.

Oh, also, I can't tolerate the smell of any of them so I only drink them from a cup with a lid. That made a HUGE difference for me!

Good luck!

Tomorrow is my second first day if the liquid diet. If you have chocolate you can add powdered Peanut Butter,

Last time I did 12 days if the liquid diet ( some where between the Drs and health ins they dropped the ball) I had to put it in a blender with lots of ice it gave you something to chew..

Best of luck you can do this

Did you manage to do this? Aren't you allowed fruit or greek yogurt in your shakes for a liquid diet? I have heard also vanilla? I am wondering because I will be there.......in time.

Thank you.

      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.
