So I am being sleeved April 8th. I have been placed on a one week liquid diet, with Sunday being clear liquids only( Five shakes a day). The problem is, along with all the anxiety and thoughts of doom I have, these Bariatric Fusion protein shakes are already making me nauseous and sick. I can only imagine after surgery. The thing is, I don't want food either. I just, have the stomach blues. If anyone had to do just liquids for a week or two, let me know what did you drink? I had the choice between Bariactric Advantage and Bariatric Fusion. At first it was ok, but Day 3? I want to throw up.

Try a variety of different shakes NOW until you find one you like. You're going to need a favorite one post-op. It's best to find it now . And yes.. If you don't find one you like there will come a time where you gag just thinking about it let alone drink it

I didn't try those but I ended up getting trim fit from GNC. The chocolate Peanut Butter is pretty good didn't have that Protein aftertaste

If your surgeon allows it, try doctoring them up with Torani sugar free flavored syrups, plain koolaid powder, sugar free jello powder, cocoa powder, peanut butter powder, and decaf instant coffee crystals. I thought I was going to be sick the first day and thought I couldn't go through with it until I discovered some delicious flavors. One of my favorites was to put lime jello powder and coconut flavoring in the vanilla. My surgeon also let us put frozen fruit in 2 of them a day and the frozen pineapple in that one was great. I put the decaf instant coffee in the chocolate one and it was my absolute favorite for mornings. Just experiment and find some things you can live with. All that being said, I had to do shakes for 2 weeks before surgery and since I have had the surgery, I can't tolerate even smelling the bariatric advantage shakes, which is what I used. You will get through it because it is only 1 week and you can do ANYTHING for one week just to get through to the other side! So worth it!! Hang in there!!

use less water and try them with ice blended

The Costco Premier shakes are great. I do the same as shrinkingmom, I add SF jello, a little bit of PB or coffee. They come out great w ice.
