OMG..I want food lol..these shakes are not too good!

I am having the same problem and have to do this for 2 weeks too. The only one I am liking is Slim Fast high protien. Some days are worse than others and today is not a good one. I feel I want to eat so bad, but have not :). Good luck 1 more week to go, we can do this.

Wow I'm so glad I only have to do 2 days of the liquid diet. And I won't be cooking for the hubby. He said he's gonna do the liquids with me at least for 1 meal which will be dinner.
I'll be at work for most of the day Monday and Tuesday so that's a breeze for me because some of my coworkers and doing this with me.
Good luck to everyone scheduled to have surgery soon.

Yes we can do this! unfortunately i cannot coose my shakes. I had to buy the "bariatric advantage" shakes and drink those. I only have 6 more days and i will be through with them, thank the Lord. This has been tuff LOL...sheree

You can't take slim fast high protein afterwards because that's not the kind that your body needs. That's for dieting. Your body needs protein to sustain after surgery. You need a protein that doesn't have a lot of bulkiness too it (filers, vitamins that you can't absorb, etc). Whey protein is what you need. Trust me I tried to go that route too but the hospital caught me just in time.

Good luck. We're all in this together.

Maybe add some ice cubes and 1/3 c. of non-fat, instant powdered milk in a blender - that helped some!  Glad I only had 2 days of liquids only.  Tomorrow is the day!  Yipeeeeee!

I found the PERFECT WHEY PROTEIN SHAKE. If you like Ice Tea you will love this. It's called Nectar Lemon Tea. It's AWESOME. I got rid of my ISOPURE. I couldn't stand it any longer and when I got to the point of giving up protein all together I said I have to do something. So I was on my way out the door to buy atkin shakes. I've tried those while dieting and they're ok. Not great but ok. Luckily the hospital called me to follow up as I was headed out and I told them what I was going to do and they said ABSOLUTELY NO and that it was not the type of protein I needed.

So I went on my merrily way to find a better "whey". The guy at the Vitamin Store showed me the Nectar Lemon Tea. He said it was a big favorite of Bariatric patients. I purchased it and guess what? I'm in LOVE.

No more chaulky thick shakes. These are refreshing drinks and since we can't have soda it's an awesome alternative. i hope you try it.

where would i buy this nectar tea protien
