Update a couple days in:
So far loving the chocolate flavor, and doubt I’ll get tired of it. Def considering getting some peanut butter powder for further awesomeness.
The other flavor I tried in my intro box was U/U. This is bc I thought I may eventually try to use it almost exclusively in order to avoid the sweeteners, relying on tasty add-ins to make it more palatable. As many before me may have already concluded, this may prove more difficult than anticipated…
My first trial of U/U was served straight-up in order to find out just what it tastes like naked and find out what I’m dealing with. I finished it, but I didn’t particularly enjoy it.
Thinking I might get tired of sweet shakes, I figured I would try a savory option, while still keeping it simple and easy. I thought chicken broth might make it go down easier, but to my surprise… not so much. (Maybe some further doctoring was needed, such as miso, as I’ve read some here enjoy.)
I did somehow get this feeling that I would enjoy it mixed with Original V8, in all its tomatoey glory (a personal favorite on its own), after getting more acquainted with the flavor in these trials. So I finally tried that tonight, but just as a “snack” (1 scoop) in case it was terrible. I actually really like it! I can’t really compare it to any traditional food, but I find it very pleasant and will definitely be using that as a go-to liquid for the U/U.
As for the hunger, I am still experiencing it between meals, although it is seemingly becoming more tolerable. So far I’ve just been willing myself to stick to my “budgeted” calories, which some days is easier than others. Generally going out with friends is the hardest, and I’ve just been doing my best to estimate how much I’m consuming in MFP afterward, trying not to be obsessive about exact quantities. But I did go heavy on the ranch on a salad AND had a beer at lunch today (was off work, lol) so I went a little over-budget. Holy cow beer costs a lot in calories!!! 
Another positive is that, while I was a little self-conscious about drinking it at work, nobody seemed to even notice. So that’s cool. Oh, and I’ve already lost a few pounds.
