What do you do when you can't stand Protein Shakes and sugar free anything.... so afraid this won't work.

Find something that you can stand. There are so many different brands of Protein these days it's crazy. Experiment and find what you like. I find it hard to believe that you dislike **ALL** Proteins and **ALL** sugar free stuff.

I literally do not like anything SF, so it is possible. My surgery is coming up and I have a plan to use honey, only slight amount, as I don't like really sweet drinks. I will transition to a small amount of frozen fruit.

You can do it with some small tweaks. Best wishes!

I would not suggest using a sugar substitute that is really just sugar by another name (it may slow down progress)

There are a plethora of non sugar substitutes, made from plants, fruits and vegetables, or in a lab. Try one until it fits.

The other viable choice is no sugar substitutes at all. You're sweet enough 🌈

Safe Journey!

I was not a big Protein Shake lover. And everyone seems to be stuck on Premier Protein, which I was not a big fan of. I only really like 2 flavors of premier Protein, the caramel and the strawberry. I was advised to go online and order some samples of different kinds and try them out. I also went to the local GNC and Vitamine Shop and picked out some sample packs to try out. It's usually not very expensive to purchase sample packs ($5 or less) and gives you the opportunity to try out some different brands and flavors, to find some you like. I also researched different additives that I may be able to add to make the shakes more palatable without over-sweetening. Adding some low carb low sugar, non-seed fruit is a big help. this may work for you, just keep in mind to review your carbs and sugar grams additives may add to the shake you select.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
