Wondering why in the hell did I buy vanilla shakes? I don't like to drink anything that is vanilla. ???? But it's my Breakfast so I need to drink it. I'm glad I only bought one case. Ok, time to stop staring at it and time to plug and chug, lol.

I don't know if this is allowed or not but can you add a 1/4 tspn of a flavored extract to your drink & mix it well? Like banana flavor or some sort of fruit flavor so it will go down easier?

You could add something like MIO to it to change the flavor might make it easier and doesn't add anything bad to it.

I had that thought. The other bottles I most likely will, but I have nothing at work, and my coworker just took her Torani syrups home. :( I jut have to suck it up.

I used the sugar free Torani to flavor mine.

Thankfully, I like the chocolate ones.

I did the same thing. And have been wondering the same thing. They're not horrible. They're just not good. Luckily I only have 4 or 5 left.

That's funny you mentioned this. I tolerated the vanilla shakes ok before surgery, but after, NO WAY. I ended up finishing up the box by holding my nose, and then taking a small sip of coffee before releasing. That bad. I donated the rest of the case to the food box at church. Lesson learned - no overbuying from now on!

Ok, finally went and got some Target brand sugar free flavored Syrup.

You can add 1T of sugar free/fat free pudding to it. I make a cinnamon roll flavored with vanilla shake, butterscotch SF/FF pudding and a dash of cinnamon. So good!!

        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.

      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
