    They make light or sugar free varieties, I don't like artificial sweeteners so I buy the regular kind. I still use it in moderation (1 packet a day limit, and I don't have it every day just days where I'm super craving chocolate or junk food) and I figure 90 calories plus 10 oz of Water toward my daily intake is better than a 200 cal cookie with no nutritional benefits.

    I am still losing, I'm participating in the New Years weight loss challenge and lost 3 lbs last week so I don't think it's hurting me too much. I'm a public policy person, we do lots of cost/benefit analysis in the day to day lol, the benefit of hot cocoa far outweighs the cost for me

    Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely be going out and buying some today. Best of luck on the New Years challenge

    4 years ago I was fortunate enough to get the gastric sleeve, however I only lost about 70lbs and was extremely disheartened with my results. Last Monday I was fortunate enough to get the bypass. I have read on this forum that when you do a revision not much weight is lost. Is this true? Has anyone had a failed revision? I would appreciate the feedback anyone has to offer.

    @@mpt809, can you still see if the stitch holding it in is intact? My nurse said as long as it is, you should be fine. I've had no new leaking today.

    Yes, it still is intact, but it is also still leaking. I spoke to the nurse practitioner at my physicians office today and she says it should be okay until it is removed this Thursday.

    I was not......Clear liquids only and Protein shakes. Now, bariatric pal sells Protein hot cocoa that is made with Water. It is essentially a hot protein shake and very good.

    And....my liquid phase was clear liquids so in that case even the protein cocoa would NOT have been on plan.

    Are you on clear liquids? Or the pre-op liquid plan. If you have any questions about your diet I would call your nutritionist or your surgeons office and ask.

    I am 7 days post op and on the full liquid phase now.
