NOT. Three weeks of this crap and I won't need WLS, my body will go into complete shock and I'll keel over.

Jason - your description is so funny! It's not funny that you don't like the taste - guess that is why there are so many posts on how to make it better! Maybe you have to become one fo those "just down it because you have to" kinda guys.
On a brighter note - I thear this is the hardest part of the journey - and once you are done you are on the table! Whooo Hooo!
Take care!
Ann
I just finished 14 days and now I'm at the hospital surgery in an hour.

I did 3 weeks of it pre op as well and after my first shake I felt exactly like you. It was gross and disgusting but then by the 2nd day I had found ways to make them better and ended up loving the stuff but I remember that first one like it was yesterday and it's been almost 7 years. LOL
I'm on day 8 now and I am not a fan either. Actually the taste isn't too bad. I have taken the advice of many people on here and add flavourings to each shake. I just hate the not eating anything else.
I found it really helps to stick to a schedule and not let yourself go over the 4 hrs in between shakes. I can get really really grumpy, moody.
I secretly think it's really a way for them to weed out the not serious people from getting the surgery!!
If I can do it, you can!! Good luck and if you need to vent/rant I'm here!!
