Hi I am 10 days away from surgery and having a horrible time with my liquid diet. I have had a stomach virus and migraines severely. I am a diabetic and my feet are killing me. I think I have more cracks on them. So it's been hard to walk. Also loved the Premier shakes b4 I had to drink 2 a day. Now I can barely choke them down. So I guess I am looking for any advice what might help my nausea or migraines. This week is 2 shakes and 1 meal next week is full liquids. Any advice?

There is an over the counter medicine for nausea. It is called Emetrol and is in the isle with pepto bismol. For your migraines I found that Excedrin migraine helps a lot. These 2 symptoms are made much worse if you are dehydrated. If you can, get some pedialite and sip on it as much as possible. You can try sugar free jello and sugar free Popsicles too. Good luck!

Somewhere I picked up the suggestion to try microwaving your protein shakes. Chocolate turns into hot chocolate, caramel turns into...hot caramel, and the vanilla can be mixed with coffee if you drink it (I don't) for a...what would that be? Cappuccino? Anyway, you get the idea.

Put it in a mug (DO NOT MICROWAVE PREMIER PROTEIN SHAKES IN THEIR PACKAGING, IT LOOKS LIKE PAPER BUT IT CAUSES ARCING) and zap for 30 seconds. Stir. Keep heating and stirring in 30-second intervals until it's as hot as you like. Try adding some sugar free flavoring, maybe. Have fun with it! Get creative!

Hi I am in day two of the liver reduction diet and am also diabetic. I have had slight headaches but my doctor recommended Bariatric Advantage shakes they have a few good flavors such as the chocolate, orange cream, and iced latte. They are not as sweet or even sweet at all compared to the premier protein. I am also allowed 2 snacks by the same company. I find that eating warm chicken broth or the sugarfree jello helps. Good luck and keep on hanging in there it's all worth it !!

Thanks@candiblack

Have you tried mixing the premier protein with ice to make it like a shake instead of just cold?

Be careful with Excedrin migraine, I believe it contains aspirin, which we shouldn't have pre-op. I believe it is a blood thinner.

Oh! My bad! I totally forgot about not having aspirin and ibuprofen. Sorry about that[emoji39]

I was told that I could take Tylenol

No nsaids only Tylenol due to risk of bleeding guys

Oh that sounds good. Makes me think...peppermint extract? Orange extract? Didn't eggface have a protein ice cream recipe?

Peppermint hot chocolate (protein drink) in the evening sounds nice! Maybe a Mexican hot chocolate with a pinch of cinnamon? I'll have to play around...(says me, who just drank one straight because I couldn't be bothered).
