Matt hit the nail... seasoning mixes. I like taco or chili mix (check the sugar content). For dessert I put a spoonful or SF pudding mix into it... try the cheesecake flavor! YUM

Oh my goodness yikes! Well I’m certainly glad to hear you are on the mend. Thank you for sharing your story

@Tealael. What's your favorite way to eat chia seeds? Do you refrigerate them? I bought some once and they seemed to go rancid fairly quickly.

Thank you for all the fantastic ideas! I can't wait to try them all out!!

Try one or all of these! The answer is not always what is preferred but what WORKS for you. Natural is the best. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318694.php Continue taking the chia seeds and kale if you enjoy eating them. They're chockful of valuable vitamins and minerals. At just 33 calories, one cup of raw kale has: Nearly 3 grams of protein 2.5 grams of fiber (which helps manage blood sugar and makes you feel full) Vitamins A, C, and K Folate, a B vitamin that’s key for brain development Alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid. (While kale has far less omega-3 than fish, it is another way to get some of this healthy fat into your diet. Lutein and zeaxanthin, nutrients that give kale its deep, dark green coloring and protect against macular degeneration and cataracts. Kale also includes minerals like phosphorus, potassium, calcium, and zinc. Chia seeds contain essential fatty acids alpha-linolenic and linoleic acid; mucin; strontium; vitamins A, B, E and D; and minerals, including sulfur, iron, iodine, magnesium, manganese, niacin and thiamine; and they’re a rich source of antioxidants.

That is what I felt (I'm only 2 weeks out so I still remember it vividly). I have had anxiety/panic disorder for the last 20 years give or take, so I kind of knew what to expect. In my case, I asked the anesthesiologist beforehand if I could take Xanax before I arrived at the facility, to which they told me I could, so long as I took it 2 hours before my arrival time. Doing so made the pre-knocked-out part 1 million times better than normal for me. Otherwise, I would try to distract yourself and do some fun things that you won't be able to do for the first couple of weeks. Take a walk, country drive, go boating, go to the movies... basically anything that you enjoy that will not cause you to get "hurt" (Allergies, etc.) before the surgery. I'm sure everything will go fine, but I will pray for you tonight!

I had a lapband and it sucked glad your getting it removed lol lap band = stuck sensation followed by a more controlled Yak Gastric sleeve your full to capacity you forget and drink some fluid and Yak but it’s quicker and uncontrolled, it happened to me playing beer pong at a party lol lesson learned... good of luck with your surgery.
