I'm on my liquid diet and I'm trying to make this taste better so i added a pkg of diet swiss miss. You think thats ok? Its 25 calories.

One of the things they tell us is to be careful to not drink your calories. My NUT says no drinks over 20 calories. So I think 25 is fine. I just try to stick close to my plan. I always think there's some wiggle room.

Protein drinks are going to have more than 20 calories, though. Mine have about 200 calories. I don't think an extra 25 hurts anything, personally.

I'm talking about just a drink, not protein mixes. My plan doesn't have any protein drinks or bars, so for me, 20 calories is the most were supposed to have in a drink. Of course, I don't think an extra 25 calories makes much if a difference. Which is why I think it's fine.

Thanks ladies! Trying to do anything to make these next 9 days easier. This was really starting to get to me but when I added the hot chocolate mix...it actually is quite tasty...almost too good so I thought I would get opinions. Thanks again!

Have you tried adding other things like the syrups they use for flavoring coffee? If you buy the sugar free ones you may be able to find a combination that helps. And if you are on a pre-op liquid diet, you can mix those powdered mixes with diet sodas. I mixed vanilla with diet rootbeer or diet orange crush and it made for a really nice shake!!!

I did try the flavored syrup but they have too much of a artificial sweetener taste. Thanks for the suggestions.

I am over 5 years out and almost every morning, I have diet (or the SF) Swiss Miss with protein powder added in. I usually add the Unjury Chocolate Splendor, but I also sometimes add Unjury Vanilla or the Syntrax Vanilla Bean Torte. Adding the vanilla protein powder makes it tasted like you melted a marshmallow in it.
