I wasn't able to find Tonic Alchemy on Amazon, but did find it here: http://livesuperfoods.com/tonic-alchemy.html Is this where you ordered it from? Unfortunately it's out of stock, but I would like to try it when they have more.

I am liking it pretty good. Tastes more vegetably than amazing grass.

It is strange. I am not even able to find it on dragon herbs any longer here under super foods:

I am glad I was able to buy it from Amazon before the stock disappeared. Perhaps it is time to switch to something else. There is a super food green drink from Vitamin Shoppe I like, but it does not contain nearly the magnitude of ingredients that tonic alchemy has.

Maybe there is some shortage of ingredients to make Tonic Alchemy or some other issue. Anyone know?

Thanks for the recommendation on Garden of life super food drink.

I just took the time to click on the link in your signature about the actress that had a 2nd WLS of a band. It is interesting that she chose to be banded after RNY. It would seem a step backwards in efficiency to use band instead of VSG. I was always of the opinion that RNY has best weight loss results followed by VSG followed by band.

I have a friend who had RNY and gained the weight back. The little pouch expands more than our tough sleeve.

I guess other than the duodenal switch there is no other alternative but the band.

I am glad I have the sleeve although my wife is doing well with RNY.

Got the Green Tonic Alchemy today from Amazon. Really fast delivery - good. The taste is about the same as Amazing Grass so I added some coconut/pineapple flavoring. Now it went down faster.

Holy cow, this stuff makes you feel good. And more than the energy burst. After 15 minutes, I felt my back inflammation go away. Awesome! This stuff really does have some ant-inflammatory ingredients in it. For this reason alone, it would be worth taking but I also appreciate the energy and quiet alertness that comes from a good green drink.

I also appreciate that it has many different types of fruit in a single scoop. 71 total fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Thanks for the recommendation on this product.

When you say that you add flavoring, do you mean via an extract? Flavored Water? Or what? You all have me really interested in this product.

Adding flavor to me means adding in some Water flavoring. I use coconut / pineapple Dasani flavor and it adds just the right zing that I think is needed. Unfortunately, I have seen it out of stock on Amazon for a while now and cannot seem to find it for sale on dragon herbs website. I do not know what the deal is as I want to order some more. I will wait a little bit longer and if it is still a no show, I will need to switch to something else. :(

Thank you. FYI: I found some on Sear's website; however, for double the price.

Thanks! I'll keep looking, or try the Amazing Grass or Garden of Life. I ordered a really nice Ninja blender from Amazon, as my old smoothie maker has bit the dust from too many green smoothies and frozen bananas. Once it comes, I want to try smoothies with chia seeds and this superfood green powder.

I find Tonic Alchemy superior to Amazing Grass and am currently on my second bottle of it. Love it! It not only helps me with energy and detox' date=' but also with inflammation issues. 71 different veg, fruit and herbs. Taste is not bad.[/quote']

Hey Fiddlerman on the Amazon website it says that the use of this product will expose you to lead. Shouldn't I bee concerned with this?

Sounds like a good thing to be concerned about, but I am the wrong person to ask about it. I just do not have the knowledge around that.hopefully someone else can answer.

It looks like the Guru site switched off the page I linked here, oops, sorry bout that.

A drink can have teaspoon, tablespoon, 1/2,1,2,3, as you like, the liquid state its in makes it so it goes quickly into action, added to that you can mix it with numerous things, Protein drink, blenderized greens and veg's, other superfood, goji, almonds, what have you, add sweetner, agava Syrup, a cacoa product and then its taste is better as well.

You would need 6,12,18 capsules to duplicate this at one time. Sorry, I know the taste bugs people, I feel I am set with what I like though the way i do things now.

Just my thinking on it, I am doubting the pills are super duper charged in comparison or something.

heres one I liked as alternatives for thought, http://www.dragonher....asp?number=686

the site has loads of elixors and extracts, pills, base chinese herbal stuff, not all are my interest, I recently started using Chinese herbals Astragalus Root and India's Gotu Kola finding good results.

Wha...they make you call now? What happened to the instant buy, gotta have it now mentality! Lol. That is what I really appreciate with Amazon. One click satisfaction...

Fiddleman, nope, you should be still able to order through the online and at Amazon, I wrote the livesuperfood site site and they've written back, Oh, and sorry, I was rushing around when I wrote the posts:

So here it is in a nutshell;

Hello James,

Thank you for your inquiry. The Dragon Herbs Tonic Alchemy is out of stock at this time. The manufacture has hard time to find the necessary ingredients. We have no date of when it will be back.

You can place your order from our website or you can call us at 800-481-5074 when it is available again.

http://livesuperfood...ic-alchemy.html

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Have a great day :)

Fiddleman got the last one :angry:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
