Hi, I am finishing day two of my pre surgery shakes, I ordered half vanilla and half chocolate. So far I have to say that both are tolerable but I really am just muscling through the vanilla. I don't mind the chocolate ones at all.  I bought a couple of shakers tonight from GNC that have a little wire whisk ball inside them  to help break up any pieces and lumps which are grossdevilwhen you get one in your mouth.

I've tried cinnamon in the vanilla and I ordered a few sugar free Toranni syrups and hope they come soon.

two days down, 12 to go until surgery.

I hear those shakes get a little easier to drink after a few days... Dr. Savoie's patients drink diabetic boost... Not sure how good they are either.. You got two down now, you got this!! All the best!

I didn't mind the boost at all. I preferred the vanilla over the chocolate and absolutely hated the strawberry. I found out on the last day of boost that you could freeze the chocolate ones and they taste like a fudgesicle. Wish I had found that out at the beginning of the pre op diet.

If you have a "Bullet" to whip the shake...that is the best thing...then I used the liquid falvors used for baking...almond or banana were my favorites....and for me the colder the better....

 

Good luck and keep us updated before and after surgery...
