My advice is DON'T CHEAT! If you stick with the diet after three or four days the mad-crazy hunger will reduce and you'll feel a LOT better. You might even think you have the flu... or you'll die from

Naked brand pineapple banana saved me. It was the only thing I could get down

I didn't like the vanilla unjury but the chocolate is really good. Not just really good for a protein shake. Really good in general.

Don't try to cheat, no matter how hungry or tempted you may be! It will be rough, especially in the evenings, if you're anything like I was. But the colder the protein the easier it goes down usually, so maybe that will help a little. And if you're allowed full liquids, SF Popsicles are your friend!

As for the protein that worked, this is such an individual thing. Also keep in mind that a lot of people do well with one kind pre-op then have their tastes change post-op. My only protein options that are tolerable at all are Syntrax nectar, GNC Unflavored (great for mixing with Soups, tea, coffee, and SF hot cocoa) and Sunkist protein "shots". (The last one is not something that is recommended long-term but with 0 carbs and 0 sugar it did get me through my stricture period.)

Good luck to you, Nate!
