Vanilla. I ordered vanilla and chocolate. At least with vanilla you can add flavoring to change it. Hope I'm not too late. And best of luck! When are you being banded and where?

It's ok. I have to be honest and tell you that I was having dry heaves on the 2nd or 3rd day. But what I did was add more Water and add lots of ice. I had to have it good and cold...and funny enough I grew to like it.

March 13, I can tell you not to worry,etc etc, but you will and it will probably feel so surreal when you're getting ready to go in for surgery. I couldn't believe I was doing this, such a drastic change when for years and years I was content to do nothing. My surgery was nov 28 2012 and it was the best thing I've ever done for me, just for me. I have another surgery coming up in a couple of weeks...gallbladder. My lapband dr is doing that surgery as well so I feel like i'm in good hands. I want to wish you the best of luck. Where are you having it done?

Right, right..I remember a conversation earlier about is. Well, have no fear. He's a great dr with a great staff. Day 2 and day 3 were my most uncomfortable but only because of restrictions the larger incision had on me. It was also right where the waistline on my pants sit. Operation was on wednesday, back at work on Monday. I had shoulder pain, heating pad worked. And also used GasX strips. I took the pain meds for a couple of days, helped in getting a good nights sleep. I just came back from Jamaica and left all my capris and bathing suits there. I've lost a total of 25lbs total and they no longer fit well. I know some people are losing like crazy at first, but I'm going to let my body lose as its meant to lose. No pressure. I'm sick of pressure relating to weight loss. Good luck, i'll be thinking of you on your surgery date, I wish you only the best...I know you'll do well.

Congratulation on your weight loss so far! You're doing amazingly! I'm not worried just uncertain as to how everything will be after the surgery. I appreciate your honesty and explanation of what is common experiences. It brings me comfort in knowing what to expect.

I love the chocolate and it doesn't love me. It has wheat and I'm intolerant to it. If anyone wants it they can have it. You just need to pick it up from me.

I was thinking of ordering a mix of flavours. Does it taste ok? My surgery date is march 13. Coming up soon!

If you want six boxes if chocolate I will give it to you if you would pick it up

Hope you are doing well Contessa. 03/13/13. Sounds like a lucky day to me. The first few days are a little trying, but so worth it in the end. Keep us updated on how you're doing. Best wishes.

        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
