Do you mean you are diluting the Protein Shakes with milk? If so, I definitely think you can do Water or there are Protein waters/juice made by Premier Protein But they have less protein. Be sure you’re taking sips of water every few minutes. You definitely need tons of water as much as you need the protein at this point

I do Water with my Protein Powder. some pureed banana for extra potassium.

I mix in GENEPRO and Crystal Light with my Water, and I cannot even taste the Protein. I would high recommend the Genepro, it is amazing!

I'm having this same problem and am also 7 days today this morning I tried some yogurt it went down easily and tasted great but I really paid for it afterward the only liquid that I'm able to drink enough of without feeling so so thirsty is those little caprisun packets

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
