So, does anyone else scratch their heads at the drastic difference of taste between premier powder and the pre-made shakes? I love the shakes, but the powder tastes horrible. I have three giant tubs of the stuff I am stuck with lol (An expensive mistake). Anything I can do to make the powder more palatable? Suggestions?

LOL now see I can't stand the premade (tastes like plastic to me) and can only tolerate the powder!

The powder has a weird spoiled milk taste to me. Can't get it past my nose lol

Try drinking from a cup with a lid on it so you don't smell it. That helps me anyway because it keeps me from smelling it

Add another stronger smell to it. Nut butter might make the scent.

Same here. Could only tolerate pre made during pre-op liquid and they turn my stomach post op. Powder for me now.

I do find adding icemakes them even more enjoyable.

Add something to it. vanilla or any flavor of the Torani sugar-free flavorings.... you can get a 12oz bottle at Walmart for about $4.00, I think they are by the coffees usually. It comes in Caramel, vanilla, Hazlenut, Rasberry, Toffee, strawberry, etc...

Try to stick with anything chocolate, Vitamin Shoppe has some great ones, and you can get a 5lb tub for $49.99, I finished mine and have to to my old strawberry powder I ordered from online and it is horrible, unfortunately since I workout with weight training I have to take it, try these tricks if you have chocolate, substitute Silk for Water, try to add some Decaf coffee instant packets ( my favorite with 1 packet Splenda, Protein Powder and non dairy Creamer in a blender with ice) or 2 small squirts of chocolate Syrup, also if you use water it is preferable to use very cold filtered water, tap makes it taste worse.....

If you have the "moderation" thingy under control you can indulge in little things like that, just back off if you start wanting to make chocolate shakes using massive amounts, I'm doing great except that I still never go near Energy drinks, it will set me off.........

@@flokismom - Just be sure to use the sugar free syrups. There is sugar alcohol in them which bothers some people, but a little goes a LONG way.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
