Crystal Light - I buy lemonade & tropical punch (new flavor) and I can drink Water like its going out of style.

Green Tea is good for you, I drink it (tea bags) all the time. Lipton has this new diet green tea w/citrus and I love it.

SF koolaid was discovered by luck. It was in a discount bin for $1.00, so I picked up. I prefer it over crystal light and its already sweetened...just add water.

It's great to hear what real banders are actually eating. I'm waiting for my band date - sometime this summer. I know it's getting ahead of myself, but what do the banders who have lost their goal wait eat?

TellyMelly,Keekahari

How many fills have you guys had?I notice you don't post it,have you had any fills at all?

Hi Lisa!

I have not been banded yet. I am still waiting on ins approval. Right now it's the love I get from my wonderful buddies here on LBT and the TOPS meetings I attend that has me so motivated. Hopefully, when I am banded and can control my portions, this weight will really start dropping!!!:):(

Today I had a bowl of Cereal for Breakfast and went out for lunch at a friends house for the kids to have a play.

I had a big dollop of pumpkin Soup, a tiny piece off an Italian bread pull apart thing (like the size of a cracker), and a small piece of quiche, oh, a few almonds and a piece of dried mango from the cheese platter I took. And a cup of coffee.

So not too bad, I feel stuffed.

Tonight for dinner is a chilli con carne I made from the leftover roast lamb, I've always made it with beef mince so its an experiment. Probably have rice and Beans with that, I doubt I'll eat much though.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      Losing weight is my dream

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
