Hello Sleevers! How is everyone doing? Checking in with y'all. How are you liking this warmer weather we're having? My first thought "GrEaT!!" Because I plan to wear shorts more often this summer. :0) I've been drinking more water with slices of cucumbers and lemon with a packet of Splenda and it's delicious and refreshing. I probably shouldn't add the sugar substitute but I'm liking it too much. Anyway, it's my last week of work and I'm excited. Getting ready to pack my items to take with me for my sleeve surgery this coming Tuesday. I'm not nervous yet, probably not until the day of. This weekend I'll be packing some of my big clothes either to sell or donate. Anyway, I'm awake so I decided to jot a few lines to say HEYyyyyyy!!

Morning Followers! I went Googling this morning and here are my findings: 1. Smart & Final - Sorry, there are NO S&F here in Colorado. I also checked online and they do not show Torani products. 2. Wal-Mart - They carry Torani in varieous sizes, quantities, and prices. 3. Sam's Club - Carries them as well, only in stores so it will not show individual or pack prices. 4. Kroger - Their web page says "No Results', so I can't tell if they do or don't. Well sleeve family, I'll start looking up some recipes for us and list them one at a time. Please share yours as well. THANKS!! [Ps. please visit my page an see my new "BEFORE" photo. My journey has just begun.]

Morning! That's where I purchased mine as well. Let me know if you come up with some new recipes and I'll do the same. Keep in touch!

Ps) Here's my first 'support group' share. I contacted Torani and asked for recipes and they replied and shared their link to sugar free recipes using their products: http://www.torani.com/#/recipes Have you/are you using any of these sugar free syrups to give taste to bland protein shakes or yogurt? If so, what's your recipe? I tried it for the first time today. I made hot cereal and added the raspberry syrup and it was delicious! A great alternative to real sugar.

Hello Ladies, soooo glad to have found you Denver gals! YES, YES, YES please add me, I'd love some sleever friends that understand the before, during, and afters about our journeys. I live wayyyy out here by DIA (airport), I'm willing to meet up anywhere. My surgery is April 15th @ 7:30 am with Dr. Chae; got my paperwork done, nutrition classes, pre-op physical, and now waiting and ready with excitement! I'll tell y'all more about me later as we get to know each other. I'm also still contemplating the "before" picture....ugh.
