The absolute worst. I'm on level 3 food eating now, but I haven't had much luck getting all my Proteins needed. So I quickly went for this shake because of the price. What a mistake! Diarrhea and nausea. I pinched my nose to keep it down. When I foolishly picked this up in a hurry, I didn't read the contents. Even after drinking the first one. Please stay away from this in my honest opinion. No good. [emoji90]

I think you meant to post a picture or link but it didn't go through. What was it?

some people become lactose intolerant after surgery (sometimes temporarily, sometimes permanently). Others can't tolerate artificial sweeteners, especially sugar alcohols (names of sugar alcohols end in "-ol", like xylitol). Maybe one/both of these??

Your post didn't mention the brand name or a photo of it or anything. I'm six months out and I'm still drinking GNC Lean shakes (premade) and loving them. Both chocolate and vanilla are great.

Yikes. Corn Syrup and sugar listed as ingredients #2 and #4... the high sugar content could definitely be to blame! I’d look around for some lower sugar choices. I personally prefer Premier Protein. I’ve also ordered the Syntrex nectar variety pack from the Bariatric Pal Store and they were pretty tasty IMO.

      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.
