I had the same problem, every shake I tried was disgusting and would gag me. My doctor suggested mixing them with skim, soy or almond milk (I was using water). I have been using Almond Delight no sugar added with Unjury chocolate Splendor and it actually tastes good. I'm also just making 4 ounces at a time which mentally helps me too, I just have to drink them 6 times a day instead of 3. But this way it's really only 4 or 5 swallows. I also like the chicken Soup by unjury too. It's not bad. Bariatric Advantag has a latte flavored shake that's pretty decent, just don't mix with any of them with Water. Today is my 10th day on the shakes. The first 3 days was the hardest and I still miss chewing. My surgery is Monday morning so I have a few more weeks to go on the shakes. Good luck to you, hopefully you will find a shake that you will enjoy.

Looks like quite a few of us having our surgery this week. I have less than 48 hours to go. Have to be at the hospital at 5:45 am Monday morning, surgery at 7:45! good luck to everyone!

Congratulations and good luck next week. My surgery is Dec 8th and I've been on the liquid diet for 6 days now. I can't stand the smell of the Protein shakes! I'm doing good to get 1 a day down. I go for my pre op appt this afternoon with my doc so I'll find out then how much I've lost so far. I also need a surgery buddy

The Protein Shakes are nasty!

I got the call today I'M APPROVED and my surgery date is set for Dec 8th!! Starting my liquid diet on Friday

I got the call my insurance was approved and my surgery is set for Dec 8th. I had a tentative date of 12/17 but it's now booked so it was going to be either the 8th or 22nd. I chose the 8th. The sooner the better! Starting my liquid diet Friday. I have a pre-op appointment with the surgeon on 2nd which I was told would last about 4 hours then the hospital pre-op on the 3rd. Will find out then what time the surgery will be. I am super excited!!

Oh Brandyjune I am sorry to hear about the bacteria. Are you scheduled for another EGD? I am praying for you to heal quickly so you can get the surgery done...hopefully in December.

That's great, I'm sure they'll get you in by the end of the year! I just left the doctor's office for my consult, met with the dietitian and the surgery coordinator too. Got tentative surgery date of Dec 17th as long as my insurance company gets the approval back in time which the lady said my insurance company is usually very fast. I'm so excited!
What procedure are you having Brandyjune?

Prayers for everyone having their surgery today!! Good luck
