right there with you. I bought a couple the other day to try and I do not like them......

I didn't have to do Clear liquids for my pre/post diet. Just liquid, so I could do the protien shakes. I am still struggling to find those that I can take, so I can't offer much help.

I don't know what your sugar requirements are, but I buy the grape frost Isopure and add some countrytime pink lemonade to it to make it tolerable. When you are on full liquids, you can try the sugar free carnation instant Breakfast ready to drink btls and add some unflavored Protein Powder to it, to give it extra Protein.< /p>

Grape frost is my favorite too... You can add a crystal light or other "to go" sugar free packet to it if you need better flavor but can't do the sugar lemonade.

I used Unjury powder and I e-mailed the company to confirm that I could use it during Clear Liquids. They said absolutely as long as it's mixed with a clear liquid - i.e., not milk or Slim Fasts. So you could try that. Let me just say that Unjury's chicken Soup flavored powder is the only thing that got me through my clear liquids phase (which seems so far away, but was only four weeks ago). It tastes just as good as your favorite canned soup and it's a godsend when you're sick of sweet drinks! I added Tabasco and lime juice to mine when I got bored with it straight and it really, really helped. You just have to mind the sodium.

I think the Protein shots are too sweet and syrupy so I mix only half of the shot in a bottle of Water and make it into a kool-aid and I usually mix in whatever sugar free packet drink mix that will compliment it like fruit punch with the fruit punch, grape with the grape, it is so much better.

You put the other half in the fridge until your ready for it. I pretty much leave mine there.

Thank u all for the suggestions. I never thought about mixing or diluting them. I will try that and the unjury.

Thanks again,

Celeste

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
