I started my preop diet which I have to say is pretty easy except for the dreaded Protein drinks. I am using the EAS vanilla and thought that with a few blueberries, milk and blended with ice would make something wonderful. OMG it was awful!! It tasted like Blueberry muffin mix. Yuck.

Please does anyone have some ideas that are not so sweet.

I am lucky I only have 14 left to drink. My preop diet is only a week long and the last 2 days are Clear liquids. But i have to make it through these first five days with liquids and 3 shakes a day. any suggestions would be helpful even if I have to go and buy another type of Protein powder.

I've tried so many Protein drinks. Here are a few of my favorites - if you live near a trader joe's, try the worldwide protein - in a can. I perefer the 21 gram formula to the 35 gram forumula. The cans are great for on the go. I also make a smoothie that I really like as is not too sweet. I use Designer whey Brand Protein powder, a splash of soy milk, ice and sometime 1T of organic Peanut Butter. Run it through a blender (I love the magic bullet) with lots of ice for a thick, and in my opinion delicious smoothie. Keep in mind however, that when you are off liquids, you don't want to be drinking your calories, and the calories in a smoothie like the one I'm suggestion are a Meal Replacement.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi. I just started my pre-op diet 3 days ago and i've already lost seven pounds. I've been using SECURE protein shakes (pina colada flavor) with one serving of yogurt blended with ice and whole milk. I LOVE IT. You can buy some on Hsn.com or Qvc.com but dont get peanut butter flavor. yuck. GoodLuck with your journey
