Have you tried other shakes? My fave is EAS AdvantEdge, not thick like the others and no after taste. Or maybe Isopure Zero carb or nectar if it's the milky like ones you don't like.

I'm just at the beginning of my 7th week and I'm all about Protein. That being said, I do love the sugar free bomb pop popcycle. Especially right after I drink my one Protein shake every day (it leaves a yucky taste in my mouth). I have also on a couple of occasions had a little Peanut Butter on a cracker but thats only if I have had all my protein for the day. I have also had a cracker or two with my tuna on a couple of occasions. My idea of a real treat has certainly changed! And I must say that I'm quite proud of the fact that I made it through the entire Easter holiday without one, not even one, reeses Peanut Butter egg :-)

PB2 is really good!! I add it to shakes (chocolate powder, sliced, frozen banana, Water and PB2, DELISH!!) I use it in recipes and even just mix up a portion and eat it. If you are a peanut butter-aholic, it's also great for helping with self control, because instead of a whole jar, you can just mix up what you want. Keeps you mindful of what you are eating.

Have you tried the fat free PB2 powder you mix with Water? Check it out, Peanut butter that tastes like regular.

Walmart has it.

My doctor wants me off Protein Shakes all together after the first two weeks I am 6 days out. He does not want me "Driking" my calories. I cant wait for Sunday! I get to have Greek yogurt and cottage cheese!!! Hahah funny I don't ever feel hungry. I am down 12 lbs since surgery.

Yes, with the Peanut Butter. I only found it at Walmart. It is in a plastic jar about the size of a large spice container.

I love pb2! They have a chocolate pb2 that I like the best. It is a little sweeter and I think it tastes more like regular peanut butter.

      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!!
