    Lynne - I tried a BUNCH of different shakes and I have 3 that I like. Slimfast HIGH Protein chocolate shakes ( they have a bunch of different ones t, I buy the one with 20 grams of protein.) Atkins shakes and also the Pure Protein brand. I had bought 'bariatric' specific powder shakes from my doctor and just couldn't drink them, they were gross to me. I find the ready made shakes so much easier to deal with.

    You can do it! Good luck!

    I started today too! So far I only miss chewing something. I'm going to get SF gum yo see if that helps. I've had one muscle milk shake and beef broth. Only 13 1/2 days to go!
