Are yall added ice with the Protein Shakes. To make like a smoothie? I haven't had my surgery yet and these shakes taste so nasty unless I make it like a smoothie. Do yall think it will be ok to drink it cold like a smoothie after surgery.

I haven't had my surgery yet but have read some people like really cold but sometimes it hurts so room temp is best. Guess we will all find out after we are sleeved eh?

I had my surgery Sep 4th and I haven't had any problems with iced liquids. I waited a couple days before trying, but I really love the ice. All of the different Protein shakes I bought before surgery were pretty good. Now they are all a struggle to drink.

Did you get the headaches from the shakes? If so, how long did they last. I am two for two so far.

The struggle is REAL! This is day 7 of full liquids for me. I wish I could have some Protein to chew. Lol...I just keep telling myself just 7 more days to go. We've got this!

What brand of shakes is everyone drinking? I am trying different flavors and different brands, but they all taste nasty to me. Some it's the taste and some it's the smell. I wonder if, instead of shakes, we can eat Meal Replacement bars? Anybody try that? I have to be on 2 shakes a day and small meal for dinner for 2 weeks. I ate an Atkins meal replacement bar for lunch today and it was actually good! I am 2 days in, have had horrible headaches both days and don't know how I am going to get through the next 12 days. Any thoughts would be appreciated ;)

I drink a variety of shakes. My favorites are Muscle Milk, Oh Yeah, Slim Fast Protein, Raw vanilla, and Pure Protein.

I use Premier Protein. Purchased at sams or costco. They have 30 grams of Protein. This is the easiest way for me to get the required amount.

I'm sensitive to any of the stuff that has artificial sweeteners. Get severe headaches suck to stomach. I have been able to tolerate products with stevia but they are harder to find

      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.

      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!!
