You can and will do this. Look at all that you have done to get this far. It's not going to be easy, but you can do it. Take it one day at a time, one shake at a time. You got this! Believe in YOURSELF!

Hey, Im in the same boat with you, however I think I got the shakes so wrong! I have been doing the Gladiator shakes with banana in them, and I didn't know I couldnt have fruit in there. Can you tell me where you purchased your bariatric advantage shakes? Thanks

I would consider making all of the food your family needs in advance. Take today and tomorrow and just cook EVERYTHING. Put it in the freezer and tell 'em it's ready when they want it. That's only two days of torturing yourself with good smells as opposed to every single day.

Try Body Fortress. You can get them at Wal-Mart fairly cheaply, they are very tasty and coupled with 2 cups skim milk you get in 70 grams of protein. Hope this helps.

I had to do shakes only, for 10 days prior to my surgery.

The good thing was that I could have up to 5 a day, of any kind I wanted. So, I had slimfast every 3 hours. Believe it or not, I didn't get too terribly starved!

Maybe you could keep your shake near you, while you're cooking to sip on?
