What shakes have you tried? Is it the smell, taste, or texture, or volume that gives you difficulties?

If it is the smell, try sipping from something with a lid.

If it is the volume, try taking smaller sips.

If it is the taste or texture, try some different shakes.< /p>

Have you tried:

Premier Protein?

Syntrax nectar?

ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates?

It's very common for your taste to change following surgery.

What flavor do you have of the premier? Try adding some S/f syrups to change the flavor. I added raspberry or a little PB2 to the chocolate. Mix it up a little :)

Temperature can make it easier/harder, too. I liked mine REALLY cold, so I blended the Premier shakes with a little ice to make them lighter in texture and colder. I still have a hard time drinking RTD Protein shakes straight out of the carton.

Everything made me want to puke for about a week after surgery. Zofran was a life saver for me - do you have any? In the early days the best I could do for Protein some days was fairlife milk. But again only with zofran in my system.

      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.
