Today I started my 8 day pre op liquid diet. My dr has his patients doing 4 bariatric fusion shakes a day. Well I got 2 in today. I can not stomach the thought of another shake today.

I recommend trying different Protein shakes until you find one you like. You will be drinking a lot of them during the course of your gastric sleeve journey. I like the Premier Protein (chocolate and Strawberry) from costco. GNC has a lot of different flavors and will exchange any that you don't like the taste of. Having 60+ grams of protein per day is important for weight loss and healing from the surgery! Good luck on your VGS journey!

I absolutely hated the first four brands of Protein powders I tried, no way I could have had four a day! Try different brands.

Hang in there, the liquid diet was the hardest part for me! I had to do a week of 4 shakes a day. Do you have to do bariatric fusion? If not, searching for a brand you like may be a good idea. I really liked the Ensure RTD shakes suring my pre op diet. Make sure you look for the high protein ones, there are different kinds. You can find them at most grocery stores. I also liked muscle milk. If you are looking for powders (which I prefer) than you can order samples at www.nashuanutrition.com. I like the syntrax nectar brand- my favorite flavors are the chocolate truffle and cappuccino. Good luck!

It does get easier once you find what you like. I just finished 14 days of a liquid diet. Surgery is tomorrow.

My fav shakes are: Syntrax nectar- fuzzy navel, muscle milk light- cake batter, and the Bariatric Advantage - vanilla. I added Peanut Butter and bananas sometimes if I was starving.

It's gonna be worth it!! Good luck.

I love adding peanut butter to shakes! I loved adding it to the chocolate truffle... yum! I also like the torani sugar free syrups... my favorite is raspberry! I also like to add SF pudding mix.

I add PB2 to my prorien shakes it helps a lot with the taste of shakes. You can get it at gnc or a lot of stores carry it in the peanut butter aisle! Good luck!

We carry it at my smith's store in the nutritional section

tomorrow is my last day of my pre-op liquid diet and I am so tired of chocolate!!! I never thought I'd say that but after drinking so many protein shakes a day, I'm so ready for my clear liquids to start after surgery.

I am just 3 days into my liquid diet before the sleeve. And I am alread tired of all the sweet Protein

Add kale to your shakes plus peanut butter and some blue berries just a suggestion
