Are yall added ice with the Protein Shakes. To make like a smoothie? I haven't had my surgery yet and these shakes taste so nasty unless I make it like a smoothie. Do yall think it will be ok to drink it cold like a smoothie after surgery.

I haven't had my surgery yet but have read some people like really cold but sometimes it hurts so room temp is best. Guess we will all find out after we are sleeved eh?

I had my surgery Sep 4th and I haven't had any problems with iced liquids. I waited a couple days before trying, but I really love the ice. All of the different Protein shakes I bought before surgery were pretty good. Now they are all a struggle to drink.

Did you get the headaches from the shakes? If so, how long did they last. I am two for two so far.

The struggle is REAL! This is day 7 of full liquids for me. I wish I could have some Protein to chew. Lol...I just keep telling myself just 7 more days to go. We've got this!

What brand of shakes is everyone drinking? I am trying different flavors and different brands, but they all taste nasty to me. Some it's the taste and some it's the smell. I wonder if, instead of shakes, we can eat Meal Replacement bars? Anybody try that? I have to be on 2 shakes a day and small meal for dinner for 2 weeks. I ate an Atkins meal replacement bar for lunch today and it was actually good! I am 2 days in, have had horrible headaches both days and don't know how I am going to get through the next 12 days. Any thoughts would be appreciated ;)

I drink a variety of shakes. My favorites are Muscle Milk, Oh Yeah, Slim Fast Protein, Raw vanilla, and Pure Protein.

I use Premier Protein. Purchased at sams or costco. They have 30 grams of Protein. This is the easiest way for me to get the required amount.

      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.
