So today is day one of a week of liquid protein shakes of my preop diet (then 2 weeks of high protein, low carb, low fat eating then 1 week of protein liquid again alternating).

The shakes make me feel nauseous. They are just too sweet. I’m dealing with Premier Protein - vanilla, chocolate, & caramel. My plan is to do Unjury unflavored in water with crystal light but my shipment won’t get here until Tuesday. Any tips???

Dilute with unsweetened Almond or coconut milk? or add 1 cup of cold, decaf coffee for an iced latte?

I hate protein shakes unless they are filled with peanut butter. My only advice is to not breath while drinking and to chug. It's funny because sometimes I am not chugging it; therefore, when I talk to people while drinking I am only breathing through my mouth and I sound so funny. They are all like, "What is your deal?" and I am all like, "I hate protein shakes!" But I gotta do what I gotta do! Let me tell you I am a terrible emotional binge eater. This has been the hardest week for myself; however, somehow I stuck to it! I did not cheat once! If I can do it, you can do it! Good luck! Also, try making your own shake! My nutritionist said I can have once scoop with fairlife milk, banana, and 2 tsp of natural peanut butter. Does make it much better.

I get 3 dairy servings (either 1 cup of milk) or yogurt. I’ve been doing the yogurt so I get to “eat” something. Ugh! Maybe I’ll get used to it. ?

I truly just recommend not breathing. If I breath, I gag. Trust me! I don't know how I am going to take little sips throughout the entire day after surgery ughhhhhhhh

Drink ice cold,

The best flavor I've found is Isopure Dutch chocolate, too expensive for me to buy constantly

runner up, premier caramel in coffee

honorable mentions

EAS carb control rich/royal chocolate, premier peaches and cream in almond milk with peach or banana blended or with Good Earth's Matcha Maker tea

I realized you can't have all of this now, but come back to it later
