Protein Shakes!!!
I am So sick of the shakes too.
I cannot start any other foods until Monday - but it's close.
I tried the Isopure (tastes like pasty water) and I tried Nectar (way to freakin' sweet, gross) I couldn't drink any of them yesterday....but I tried again today and have gotten about 2 shakes down.
I understand you totally.
only a couple more days until softs foods!!!
best wishes for a great beginning and wonderful journey!

Bariatriceating.com has lots of different tastey protein shakes. I have tried lots... lots of people like profect because it's 25 grams of protein in just 2.7 ounces... but it's so sweet I nearly got sick... so that'll wait a while. I have isopure but haven't tried it yet... I did try the lemon iced tea nectar and that was good... it just looks weird. You just get to the point in doing the protein, where you can't stomach the sweet milky taste anymore. I literally had anxiety about drinking it a few days ago. I got so sick I thought I had a stricture. I couldn't drink and felt like I was choking. I had been drinking them 2 weeks pre op as a requirement too, so it was just too much for me.
Anyway... to alleviate some of the sweet I had to drink, I went to gnc and got tasteless protein powder. I put it in my mashed potatoes and yogurt... I'm also going to put some in my sugarfree pudding... but we'll see how that tastes. It's not great in the yogurt, but just fine in the potatoes.
Good luck with the shakes! In no time we'll be able to eat good food, just in small portions!

www.wlssupplies.com sells samples that come in plastic containers. You mix the shake in the container and then throw it out (thats the best about their samples)! The person that runs the site had bypass surgery and is an OH member
She has tons of different proteins, you can buy singles, a pack of them by flavor (vanilla, chocolate, etc), or by brand (nectar, scifit, ids, isopure, etc). its worth buying samples and waiting to buy bulk after surgery.
I use to drink a protein shake every morning for 2 years and LOVED the flavor.. After surgery it made me sick
good luck!

Thank you, styles for the link! I've started looking for shakes I will like now even before having had surgery, and this really helps. :)
