Today was my first day of the pre-op diet, three Protein shakes a day. Mixed up my very fist one (vanilla, the only flavor I bought - whoops), took a sip and literally gagged. The flavor was too strong (and just gross), the consistency like phlegm (sorry), bad aftertaste. I thought maybe blending them up with some ice would help, so I put it in the blender with about 6 ice cubes and blended. A tiny bit more tolerable, but now there's twice as much of it!

I know I HAVE to drink 42 of these shakes. I feel like I'm being a big pansy. I can't call my doctor and complain; they'll tell me to suck it up.

Help!

I suggested the adding the flavors becasue if your dr is like mine... I had to drink the shakes he prescribed... so while some of the store bought shakes might be fine...if you can drink anything if you were like me.... I had to drink the ones he wanted me to. In fact my dr actually supplied them.....

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone. Guess I should have said, I have to use only a certain kind my doctor specified. Bariatric Advantage High-Protein Meal Replacement shake. I think I will order some of the strawberry and try that. Thank you for the encouragement!

P.S. FLORIDAYS, your journey is an inspiration!

I have strawberry cream and there are are two different chocolate. The rich chocolate fudge is my fav. Then there are regular chocolate and vanilla. I find them at Walmart locally.

I found all the flavors. Bad thing is, they don't have them in cases other than choc and vanilla.

Boo! That sucks. My Walmart has all of those flavores I listed in 4 packs.

I got to bj's for the shakes. That's where I find them in cases. I know about the 4 pks but they work out to be expensive than the case. :-(
