Anyone else find them not good tasting?? I was wonder if anyone has ever thought about putting crystal light in one just to add flavor.

Which have you tried? We tested the pineapple banana orange and it was ok to drink. I felt like it left a little bit of film in my mouth but I could handle that. I have grape and the punch one in the fridge to try later too.

See, the pineapple banana orange was awful to me. So far my 'favorites' have been grape and apple melon. Alpine punch and the pineapple banana orange have been my least favorites.

They are just OK to me. I mix mine with 1/2 Water and crushed ice.

The ones I thought I'd love are the ones I can't stand! I get the blue, grape and coconut & mix crystal light and crushed ice and sip all day. Great Protein and getting fluids in! Yes, they can have a "after film taste" but u get use to it.

I bought the alpine punch thinking I'd like it but I just don't. I should've gotten the grape one. The bad part is I bought a whole case. So now I have to drink them. I'm going to try with crystal light and ice.

Oh no! I was afraid to buy a case because of that. I found that my local GNC sold them individually.

Did u buy then online or at a store? Stores will generally let you swap them out. Worth a shot.

I bought a whole case of the alpine punch too. I hate it and I hate all of them. Good Protein though. I mix a sf crush or Koolaid packet in and sip all day. Eventually enough ice melts that its diluted enough to tolerate.

I tried one and thought it was ok so I bought 10 more and hated one more than the other. I got rid of every single one, they were the most horrid tasting Protein Drink EVER! Now if you want to know how I REALLY feel about them just ask lol.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
