Ice chips or slushies were my go-to way to get in liquids when I could not tolerate anything room or barely cold. All my drinks if liquid had to be freezing cold (Dr said that this is normal btw) and when I found out about sugar free slushies and then how to make my own I was so excited and problem was solved for me. Also just plain ice chips works as well without any kind of sryup on it at all. I also froze flavored drinks and then crushed them up and that worked too. I got desperate enough to try to freeze a chocolate Protein Shake and eat it that way, but that did not work so well LOL. ICK had to toss that one failed attempt.

Use a nice strong blender- many swear by the ninja- or food processor. I just have a food processor with grater blade. Put ice through that until its the texture you like. Then put on your sugar free Syrup and eat. You can also freeze your fav drink and crush it the same way tjen no need for syrup. There are also slushie makers you can buy but I don't think it's necessary

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
