Hi everyone! I am so excited to share with you all that I just got a call from my advocate, and my surgery has been approved for August 20th!!!! YAY!!!!!! I am so blessed! So, starting today I am on a one week pre op diet until my surgery date. Can anyone share ways they made their shakes taste better? I am drinking the bariatric advantage vanilla and chocolate shakes. The consistency is awful. Any suggestions would be so helpful! Thanks yall!

Congrats! It's nice that you don't have a long wait before the surgery.

I like to mix mine with sugar-free hot cocoa (not too hot or it will get clumpy) or with leftover coffee (usually over ice for the coffee/protein powder mixture). You can also get unflavored Protein powder and add to crystal lite.

I switched from Bariatric Advantage to powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I found the Bariatric advantage too sweet and chemically tasting. I also made the shakes with skim milk plus and a few ice cubes in the blender it definitely helped.

Congrats & Good Luck!

Unfortunately, my doctor has Instructed that I only mix my shakes with water...booorring! I tried mixing 6 oz of coffee with two scoops of vanilla flavored protein this morning. The taste was ok, but the texture is what I'm going to have to figure out. I have a feeling I will be sticking to broths more than shakes at this point. I've heard a lot about Unjury. I will have to try it. Thanks yall!

I had to switch to unjury from BA also, I tried the vanilla and it was like trying to suck back shots of cake frosting. Gross! I really enjoy the unjury chicken soup with just water. I've been pretty much living off it since surgery 8 days ago. I'm getting some unjury chocolate splendor today to break up the routine. I tried it with water before and it wasn't so great, but I will use it with skim milk so I can add the 8g of protein!

Edit: the vanilla I tried was from BA.

Congrats on the date! I have mixed the sytrax ones with almond milk.. that makes them yummy! And for the fruity ones I have mixed them with Vitamin Waters.. good luck next week!

I bought coconut, root beer, cinnamon and almond extract. I tried the cinnamon with vanilla I liked it. I have to water mine down cause it's a little to thick for my liking. I will be trying coconut and root beer tomorrow.

You have a blender, right? If no, buy a Magic Bullet ($50). Grind up some ice, then add the Protein shake. Makes it taste like a milkshake! Also coconut and pineapple flavorings make a great piña colada. I even added Hershey's Cocoa to the chocolate flavored for a richer taste.

unjury has a strawberry Sorbet flavor that can be added to sugar-free Jello if you want something with some substance.

Good luck in your journey. It's going to be amazing!
