Reddit mentions of OH YEAH! CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE- 2.4 Lbs

If you are doing things like sneaking in cupcakes, you are likely breaking ketosis and then going through the awfulness of entering ketosis over and over again.

My biggest advice is to not break the diet at all and to drink alot more water. I was drinking over 100 ounces of water to day. Most of the symptoms (starving, exhaustion, headaches, pale color, etc) all come from being dehydrated. During ketosis, your body needs extra water to help flush out the byproducts of the protein. Without drinking enough water, you will feel very sick. My surgeon/nutrionist stated that I should have between 3-5 protein shakes per day and there was a hard minimum of 3 shakes. After day 3, I was no longer hungry and had no symptoms at all. I craved things, but it was obvious to me that it was head hunger and not physical hunger.

PS: If you are having a hard time keeping the protein shakes down, then you might consider mixing the powder with either water or a lactose free milk (unsweetened almond milk was my favorite). It is not uncommon to become temporarily lactose intolerant when going into ketosis (and after surgery). If you are already lactose free, then try a different brand that uses whey protein isolates like Oh Yeah by ISS (http://www.amazon.com/YEAH-CHOCOLATE-MILKSHAKE--2-4-Lbs/dp/B004GWA2H4/ref=sr_1_14_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1462540119&sr=8-14&keywords=oh+yeah+iss) I really like the choclate milkshake flavored ones. The strawberries and cream/cookies and cream become sickeningly sweet after a while.

You will want variety in your shakes as well. Are you allowed to blend in half of a small fruit with your shakes? (my nutritionist allowed shake in water with 1/2 fruit or shake in milk without fruit).

This is the hard part of surgery in my opinion.
