Thank you Lisha73! I did survive, barely...lol. I tried to get my fourth in but couldn't make it all the way through. I drank the rest when I got up today. I went and bought some Nectar in Crystal Sky. I'm hoping it will help break up the monotony of chocolate shakes. I just so want to actually EAT something, ya know? I am so emotional right now and I'm hoping its just my body trying to get used to this.

I haven't tried any of Nectar...I saw them on the bariatric advantage page but wasn't sure about them

2 weeks of 5 shakes a day. My surgery is on May 14th.

Thanks! I actually couldn't smell nor taste the Protein in this one. I think the coffee helped mask it lol...next up is chocolate Protein shake, strawberries and bananas!

So I'm drinking my first shake (I work nights so this is my "breakfast"). I chose to make a mocha shake. Weird consistency but not bad. Just trying to get it down lol

So you are also 5 shakes only a day? I start mine tomorrow. It's had me worried I will mess something up lol
