@@xtinaBlue I feel the same way. This is a struggle. I keep trying to stay positive and think about the big picture. I am so nauseated. I feel very tired. I hope this is normal!! I am drinking Premier (they seem to work best for me) The chewable Vitamins are nasty. I may have to switch. Thanks for asking!!

Bkskinny, are you referring to Optifast shakes?

If you are, the shakes I find are quite filling. They are full of Vitamins and minerals. They come in flavours including vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, coffee, banana, caramel to name a few. My favourite is the banana one as it tastes like banana icecream. I can't stand the optifast deserts or Soups. I'd rather starve than have those.

The shakes that I am referring to are called "Optifast" produced by Nestles. They are high Protein, low fat, no sugar and no fat.

My surgery is on Oct 17th. I'll be on Optifast too. I start those on Oct 3rd. I'm terrified & excited at the same time.

@@dccarite I get migraines from artificial sweeteners, I am surprised how much artificial crap is in the pre-op Bariatric shakes and Vitamins. My headache was gone this morning...then I drank the Bariatric advantage....headache/nausea is back:( If I am still having issues by Monday...I'm going to ask dr if I can switch to premiere Protein or Optifast. Although I spent $70 on this stuff!
