Ahh, good insight! But for the indvidul shakes can you mix all of the fruit/protein/milk/yogurt to get rid of the grit? I tried the nectar with Water yesterday and thought I was going to puke..

Those Nectars were brutal when mixed with Water. The only one i liked was the cappucino and i mixed it with milk. I still have some samples if anyone wants them. (maybe 7 or 8). I just gave up on them and bought the Atkins mocha latte from Walmart since i am post op and can only drink about half of one at a time.

Also, I premixed a serving of the powder in the morning one day for work and put it in the company fridge for work. I wanted to bypass having to bring my milk and powder in seperate containers. By the time i had it for lunch it had this funky Protein wang. I never made the same mistake. I now eat the ready made or eat as soon as i mix.

You're not! Thanks for all the info :D I'm starting my liquids tomorrow and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with which one to get and this is helping.

Also, I'm not sure if everyone already mentioned it but www.dietdirect.com has really good prices!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
