Some told me a way to put flavor you take two teaspoons or tablespoons of sugar free jello powder you know before you make it. It adds great flavor and it's sugar free. Just an idea

All. I am on day one of pre surgery diet and have to go to bathroom all the time. Has anyone else had this problem?

You should be getting at least 50-60 from food and shakes.

You can put flavor in it just watch the sugar amounts. I drank vanilla protein shakes but I made it thru it. I am still drinking protein shakes 2 now until I eat enough protein . Just drink lots I am having trouble getting enough liquids. I am making sure today though pushing it thru. I am 17 days out and one thing I am working on is getting stamina back seem to get tired easy, I use to go forever hope once I go back to work it comes back fast. I will never be sorry I did this I feel better.

I don't know about garlic but I am eating deli chicken and turkey, wrapped in cheese and I dab it in mustard, that helps a lot to be able to taste food. Makes it easier not to get board. -

Hi you said you had the surgery but remember it's a tool, you still have to exercise and watch what you eat. I realize it is a life time change. I an excited to start

I am having surgery on the 39th, this is day four. No having any problems. Can't wait to get this process over, and get life back too somewhat normal.

About the extra skin when I lost 130 on my band I was able to have extra skin removed as I seem to have a rash on the skin that hung the same with my boobs I got the sink removed from my stomach insurance paid for it was going to have books done when I found out I had cancer-no related to the weight loss surgery. Lost 130 on the band found it slipped and I have a big hernia. So with the bypass he is going to fix hernia I am hopping to lose another 85 lbs. I have gained about 65 back. My goal with the combo of surgeries win be from 310 to 150-160. Now
