i think it's good...the sales person recommended that one, plus a few ppl on here use this one. I think its just the cookies and cream flavor. Maybe the chocolate is better.

exactly my coworker said i should call and demand it be changed back being an employee and all...but i said I would leave well enough alone. God knows best!

Good Luck to you my fellow surgery buddy

i have that brand in the cookies and cream....bleh....will not buy it again lol

Glad to hear all went well!!

omg me too!

Mine too!! i am kinda annoyed b/c they just called me and told me my surgery was changed to 3pm. I really wanted to be first for a variety of reasons. one of them being I am doing my surgery at my job and didnt want to risk running into anyone I knew. Now I am coming in at 12pm which is prime time. Ughhhhhhhhh. Minor annoyance. Just gotta stay focused.

u have to take that off too...and trust me I feel your pain. My feet are a mess smh

I LOVEEEEEEEE Protein...i am actually dreaming of Beans, and fish, and chicken OH MY! Pish tosh at this shake crap lol

I too am nervous...my surgery is Monday. I see that all posters in this thread are alive and well that is a comfort I have been following my liquid diet since last Monday and am hoping it will lead to positive results. I find myself waking up in the middle of the night in a panic. I have had surgery twice before but this one is anxiety provoking on so many levels. I am saying many prayers, and have the support of so many. VST has taught me a lot, and I look forward to posting about upcoming successes and NSVs

my nut suggested v8. and also berry Green powder which i mix with my crystal light once a day. It has 26 superfoods etc

Congrats!!

yes you do....i soaked mine off Saturday. Was in the same predicament

From my understanding you should be fine. They ok ppl to go back to work in 2 weeks...i personally am taking 3. So you should be ready to go, and a few pounds slimmer to boot!

coming from a 26-28...i think i'd love to be a 10-12 but I wont know until i get there lol....totally cant imagine being any smaller lol

Glad everything turned out well. Congrats!

I had to do a 6 month pre-op diet also...they were very vague about how much i needed to lose. They just kept saying that it would be best if I lost as much weight as possible. I lost about 20 lbs before the liquid diet and about 19 since...Surgery on Monday I just didnt want them to tell me I hadnt lost enough. One thing the doc did say to me was that if I could get as close to 300 or below the better i'd be.

my mother has always sworn by peppermint tea and I will be trying that at least

Try peppermint tea!!

i had a 6 month pre-op and I had bad moments during that 6 months....but I also lost every month that I saw the doc...i would fall off for a week or so and re-focus rather quickly also i started my liquid diet last monday and havent cheated once...all i can say is when ur ready ur ready...just make sure u are ready and doing it for the right reasons

WOW, i think you summarized exactly what I feel...i am a perfectionist who was raised by a perfectionist...and I think my mom feels like failure as a mother not only because I am obese, but now because I am "taking the easy way out". I definitely had to resolve those issues, by doing this to satisy me even if it displeased my mother, because essentially, if I was to eventually become sick I have no one to blame but myself.

It's true. All the girls at work worry when they order lunch....or my bff will be like is it ok to eat this in front of u. I tell them GO AHEAD. I cant hide from food forever. I prefer it actually, because its a test of my willpower.

That sounds great ! Congrats on your success

i swear by torrid, igigi, and kiyonna
