So, today was my first day of the two week shake diet before my bypass scheduled for the 26th of this month. I started the day with a good attitude and looking forward to starting this adventure.

Trying to be organized, I made up my Breakfast and lunch shakes for today last night before I went to bed.

I sat down at the table this morning to have shake #1 and nearly vomited. It was awful! It was thick like cake batter and I couldn't even drink the entire thing. Same with the shake I brought along to work for my lunch.

I realized the trick to drinking them is NOT to mix them up until right before I'm ready to drink them.

Any tips or suggestions?

What kind of shakes are you using? I used Optifast preop. My trick was to shake them right before, use ice cold Water with ice and blend. I did 30 days and ir was tough. I ended up losing 9 lbs in the 30 days on 800 calories from optifast. It was hard but keep your eye on the prize.

I'm on my second week with Bariatric Advantage shakes. At first it wasn't so bad, but the sweetness of them is getting to me. I've been adding bananas and other fruits to them to try to cut the sweet. I went tonight and got unflavored whey Protein. I'm going to try that and see if that's better. I was told that I could add fruit, nuts, honey, yogurt or Peanut Butter to them. Maybe try those options.
