Thanks so much for your help your a peach I'm gonna try the vanilla

You need to have 6 shakes a day so you need to be clever & creative with some flavoring. I bought Carmel, pineapple, mint. You also can add sugar fee instant pudding for flavor & thickner! Also, with chocolate I added 1 tbsp dark chocolate CoCo & mint flavoring. I also bought whole vanilla Beans which taste fantastic! But use very little because it's strong. Snip a little piece from the bean, then split in half scrape out the bean. Store in zip bag to keep fresh. I hope this is helpful!!

Wow I didn't even know I had to have 6 shakes A day that's a awesome tip thanks how many ounces and how do you alternate with eating food

[marieac2 85]

yes, you don't want to starve yourself. For me, after surgery I did not want to eat, everything tasted awful to me! This is from a person who loved any kind of food.. it took me over a month to get on regular schedule & get in all my Protein. You can get unflavored Protein packets & mix with Jello as another way to get your protein in... first thing first let's get you thru the surgery!!!

Hmm. I am told to have 3-3.5 shakes a day depending on the Protein content so that I get at least 70g of protein a day. 6 would be a lot!

I'm gonnna re ask my doctor thank you

You should spread out the drinks so you are not tempted to eat something solid. Trust me, it's hard but you DO NOT WANT TO BE HUNGRY & CRAVING!! The first 2 days see what works best for you. If 3-3 1/2 works for you great!! Just remember Protein is your first priority. YOU need at least 60-70 grams a day.

I used Premier Protein and was not hungry or irritable at all. The key for me was to drink before I felt hungry. I am now 3 months post op and have NO regrets with this surgery. Good luck!
