:PI opened my sample pack today and tried the "Caribben Cooler" one....it tasted like a watered-down pina colada!! I only mixed it with Water, but next time will try adding it with crushed ice and maybe add some pineapple juice or coconut milk.....it wasn't as bad as I expected!!! Might even add some fresh or frozen fruit.... looking forward to trying all of the flavors except the capuccino (don't care for coffee) and the fuzzy navel (don't like peach)....

I bought the sample pack for maybe $15 including shipping, it arrived FAST, and has 10 flavors. I didn't get to pick the flavors though. Each sample packet has 20 g Protein if you mix the entire packet with 8 oz. Water.< /span>

I bet if you mix it with pineapple juice it would be delicious!

Okay, I was talking about paying $10.00 for the nasty Carb Solution stuff that I previously bought. I explained all of that in one of my posts to try to get you to understand what I meant. Once again, in response to your first post to my thread. I meant: "Wow, Muscle Milk for $5.00 is a great deal. I paid $10.00 for Carb Solutions, which was unpleasant to the taste. Thank you for telling me about the good deal on Ebay." That is how I meant to say it. I'll be more descriptive next time.

You are welcome.

Hey Sandy1! How are you doing?? How's recovery going???

How did you like Dr. Hollis?

I had pre-op at TR yesterday and met Dr. Reilly and he seems nice...cleared for surgery, but had to move the date to June so I don't have to miss work, as it's impossible to get a sub teacher!!!

Keep me posted on your results!! :rolleyes:

Hello. I am feeling better this morning. Still quite sore and feeling weak due to the liquids only right now!!! Dr. Hollis is great and I trust him. He seemed very competent and caring! What date in June are you getting your band?

Thanks for asking! I think I replied a few days back but was still taking pain medicine often. I am going to try now to take any pain meds today if I can!

I am going to try either adding pineapple juice OR the liquid from a can of pineapple in its own juice.......I bet the second option has less calories and sugar.... :)

:D

Thanks!

I bet if you mix it with pineapple juice it would be delicious!

I've got a really great recipe for a chocolate smoothie but since I just got banded yesterday I havent had one in a few days and i already miss it.

1 cup fat free milk (90Cal/13 carbs/8 pro)

1 scoop GNC unflavored Soy Protein (60Cal/0 carb/13 protein) $9.99 for 11 oz

1 squirt of Fox's U-Bet sugar free Chocolate Syrup (which has no sugar/calories/carbs!!) $2.49 bottle

For a grand total total of 150 calories, 13 carbs and 21 grams of Protein each smoothie. Add a few ice cubes and blend-blend-blend is the key because tasting the loose powder can be unpleasant.

Where do you buy the Sugar Free Chocolate syrup (Fox u-bet) ?

Hi there!

I was just banded on Friday and started Isopure Bananas and Cream and its delicious!Best thing I've had in a few days. I was told after 6 weeks I can go back to Jazzercise!! Good Luck!!

So I just bought this stuff called Carb Solutions Protein Shake Mix, chocolate flavor. And WOW it is NASTY. What kind of Protein mixers are y'all using to get your protein in? I really like Instant Breakfast, but there just isn't enough protein in that. Also, I had my surgery this past Thursday on 4/14/2011. How long did it take before any of you could start working out? I was instructed to not lift more than 5 lbs...but I have been feeling a lot better since surgery. I am just ready to start doing some light workouts for starters. I usually ride my bike. I'm just wondering how many weeks it took anyone to start working out regularly?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
