I am using the Bariatric Advantage shakes. They are fine. I was surprised actually I was planning on them being really awful.

I would say that the tablet chew-able Vitamins from this brand are awful, horrible -- chalky and terrible flavor.

God bless you I thought my strawberry one was awful in the big bag but I just purchased the chocolate one from my doctor in the canister yesterday and it taste like hot cocoa so that one makes it better and I'm on day 7

Darn, I was debating getting those chewable vitamins. Do you have any other recommendations?

I also purchased the Bari melts, so I am going to try those tonight and will report back. I am upset that I have a huge jar of the Calcium awful ones to eat. I am going to also try the gummy/chew-able from that brand.

Finally, I have appts tomorrow and am bringing in some of my "normal" chew-able and liquid Vitamins to see if they are acceptable.

Shakes: They were nice enough to give me samples of many flavors. I didn't mind the strawberry, but the Cookies and cream I did not care for it or its smell; the iced latte was not great flavor; banana flavor was goood; orange creme was not horrible but not great. So far, the vanilla and chocolate are my favorites. Thinking of trying the unflavored one with a bit of matcha powder.

I have to do Fortify BariEssentials because my doctor requires it. It includes the Vitamins in the shake powder. I can't recommend them though. They have way too much artificial sweetener. I found out today I can have whey powder with 8oz. of low sodium twice a day rather than four shakes a day. All I can have is shakes, broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free Popsicles. I can have anything to drink that is not carbonated or has sugar in it for the most part. I'll get through it. After all, I have a lot to lose.

That's all I can have as well...It's gonna an interesting couple weeks. My friends at work ask if I was gonna take off for the 10 day liquid diet, apparently I'm not very nice when I'm hungry.

Ugh. Not enjoying. Had a nutritionist session yesterday and she said the 2nd week was most critical and she knows people will cheat a little but not to cheat on second week.

It is a struggle and I will admit here to cheating day 3 w/ half of a whole wheat bagel

But, she said as many popsicles as desired (sugar free) so that was a nice add on from the diet sheet they originally gave me.

Thanks for posting that. I'm on day 8 and we were thinking of taking the kids there this weekend. Perhaps we should go to the lake instead.

I'm only on day one . Did anyone have headaches or feel more tired at nighttime ( earlier than they usually would at night . I feel like this two week diet is going to be so hard .

I felt like i was homicidal day 2-3... but too tired to do anything... having weird dreams or an epiphany, then by day 6 it was the calm after the storm... I survived 2 bday parties, 1 baby shower and a wedding reception during that 2 wk span... after I woke from surgery i ask M.D. "did my liver shrink?" He said said No, not significantly...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
