Well today I start the first day of two weeks of the liquid diet, this day has arrived. I was told I can still drink diet soda or coffee, I am a coffee drinker but cannot just drink it straight, any suggestions?

Today is day one of pre op liquid diet for me as well. I love my coffee, too. I am learning to appreciate black coffee but you can try stevia or splenda. My protein shakes taste like cake batter. If you take cold coffee and blend it w shake and ice, it makes a decent frozen mocha.

I start my very low calorie pre op diet on Tuesday and I'm also a coffee drinker. My plan is to mix it with my morning Protein shake. Check out YouTube for coffee Protein drinks for WLS there are a handful of ways to make it. Good luck!

Wow, youtube has everything. Gotta go have coffee shake now. Lol

Are you using the ENS Protein powder? If not what type is it?

I use Visalus at the moment. It is pricey but I had a bag from a previous diet attempt. 90 cals per serving w/12 grams protein, 5 grams, fiber, and 7 grams carb = 2 net carbs and less than 1 gram sugar. It is a powder that i blend with coffee, no sugar added almond milk, or crystal light.

What is ENS and where do you get it? Does it taste good? I tried to make homemade popsicles but the protein powder sank to the bottom. Not too appetizing.

I haven't tried ENS yet but they have a cake batter flavor, Celebrate Vitamins sells it. I have been meaning to order from that site but just haven't yet. I have made protein Popsicles and what I found works is the ISPURE clear liquid bottle drinks you can buy at GNC or Vitamin Shoppe.
