I drink the Isopure creamy vanilla zero carb and I just bout the low carb (.5 net carbs a scoop) and I mix them with Silk unsweetened soy milk ( that has 1 net carb per 8 oz) I have to water them down a bit because they are too sweet for me but after that not bad..I haven't tried the unflavored which I need to find.

Guilty for considering surgery?
GenaW828 replied to 2beorNot2be's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I felt guilty for a little bit. My sister has almost lost 100lbs by herself and why can't I do that. I have lost weight before I lost weight since the start of this journey but what I have to remember that everyone is different what works for my sister might not work for me. I'm using this as a tool to help me loss the weight that I have been carrying for a long time. I just have to put it in my mind that this food and not working out as much as I should is killing me. I want to be her for my son show him the right way and hell maybe have some more. But don't feel guilty for knowing what you need to lead a healthier life. -
How to realistically fight off head hunger!
GenaW828 replied to Veronica Page's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Food Network is my channel man!! I'm on day 6 of my pre op diet. and I think I'm doing pretty good. Now on Thursday when I switch to full liquids might be another problem now I can look forward to my 300 calorie meal then I will be surrounded by food and people pigging out But I can do it. I have done this much. but food network doesn't make me as hungry as pintrest does -
BCBS MS Sleeve
GenaW828 replied to aHealthierMe121714's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have BCBS of TN under my husband and he works for the school board. they submitted my information on 11-7 I got a call on the following Tuesday that it was approved. I thought that was awfully fast because I use to work for an insurance company and they took weeks to get stuff approved. -
Are there any others who are getting sleeved on December 4th?
GenaW828 replied to B'ham Jessie's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is Dec4th!! this is day 5 of my liquid/one 300 calorie meal week. last night was hard.. we watch food network a lot.. (I went to school to be a pastry chef didn't complete thought but it is a passion of mine) and they were making calzones!! I just looked at my husband and told him I'm going to bed to dream about pizza lol. But I'm doing ok. I feel lightheaded a lot if I get up too fast but I haven't passed out yet so I see that as a plus lol.. question though is anyone working out during their per op diet? I thought about it I may go to the gym to day and lift some weights no cardio most def will pass out then. -
