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?

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.

      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.
