Hey Kathy! Try the Oh32 from The Vitiman Shoppe there on Cooper, they have them pre-mixed. Are you still on the shake? For how much longer? After the 23 of this month I have to stop drinking them. Since I will be on full foods at that point. Good Luck. We need to plan lunch some time. I think Jason's by the mall would be good! ~ Mis

I am in the same boat. I was gagging on all the Protein Drinks. Someone suggested that I get a few of the extracts to add different flavor so I got some vanilla, cherry, almond and banana. They are really helping me. Today I made a shake with vanilla Unjury, vanilla yogurt, a tiny bit of cherry extract and some skim milk and it was delicious! I bought some Syntrax Nectar in the caribbean cooler flavor and added sugar free pineapple juice to it and it's pretty good too. Also, someone suggested drinking them in "sippy" type cups (travel coffee mug) so you can't smell it and it makes a HUGE difference for me.

I hope some of this helps. I was just banded on the 14th so I'm learning as I go along just like you.

I couldn't do the Protein Drinks at all - not even the carnation stuff. so somone told me to drink extra milk (more calories) but i get in my Protein then - i use skim plus milke and good old fashioned Quick - gets me 11grams protein each glass 4 a day does the trick!

Not for everyone but it worked for me.

I made a mushy tuna casserole tonight. I used egg noodles, tuna, peas, low-fat cheese etc. If you like these things it's not that hard to make and freezes well. Let me know if you want my recipe and I'll send to you.

      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.
