Well today was day 1 of my liquid diet and exercise before surgery. After reading countless blogs I decided to try the Unjury product line. For Breakfast I had chocolate in milk, and that was pretty good. For lunch I had the strawberry sorbet mixed with water, and that tasted like feet! Blaaaa, it gave me a stomach ache for the rest of the afternoon. For dinner I had vanilla in milk, and that was as good as the chocolate. So lesson 1 strawberry bad; very very bad. Chocolate and vanilla good; very very good.

Now for the exercise part. I work as a Supervisor for a hospital in the VA system, and my department is on the third floor. I decided to use only stairs from now on. Do you now how embarrsing it is to be passed by an 80 year old couple on the steps? Then to have them turn around and ask if I am ok? I am going to need work on this exercise thing. I felt like Rocky when I acutally made it to my floor. Hey I will take any victory I can right now. Tick Tick Tick my surgery clock is counting down. Thursday is stalking me.

I just had the Lapband put in yesterday. I used the Akins Shakes and the Slimfast Optimal for my pre diet and they are not bad. I lost 18 pounds by the time I had the sugery by walking on my breaks and at lunch time. Doing stairs may be a little too much starting out. But good luck

48 hours...Woot! 'feet' LOL!! Thanks though...I'm keeping a list of everyone's favs and the ones they hate...just made a new category "Tastes like feet".

I only like the choc. or vanilla unjury too. But i have found that some GNC protein shakes have more protein in it then unjury. I have only tried the choc. in GNC but it taste like the unjury one too! Congrats n best of luck to u!
