Hey all! I was sleeved on 4/20 and am trying to get my liquids in. It's been fine but I get tired of all the sweet drinks and blah broth. I remembered something I used to enjoy in the winter and got it out. It's called Millie's Savory Teas and they are awesome. They come in a tea bag form but are in savory flavors like Tomato Basil, Indian Spice, Spicy Tortilla, Snappy Butternut and my favorite, Smoky Facon. They are all natural and vegan. 15 calories a cup (I don't know how but ok) and you just heat Water and pop bag in cup. Let steep and enjoy. They are great for on the go and a life saver if you have a craving for a bit of savory. And no, I don't work for the company! :) :) :)post-77434-14617092687758_thumb.jpg

Okiedokie checking that now.... For the Tomato basil it's 280mg. I'm looking at a can of Campbell's chicken and rice and its 820mg (yikes!) and a box of low sodium organic free range chicken broth that's 130. Yep, that's why it tastes like Water. So anyway, it's got sodium but I don't think it's outrageous. Wow now I'm going through the cabinet and I really need to clean this out.... If the sodium content won't kill me the botulism from being expired will. Heh.

Thank you! That is a great help. I am EXTREMELY allergic to soy. (nasty stuff). Now I have to find some of these teas. Amazon, maybe?

Hey I checked and Amazon does carry them but you can get them cheaper from the website.... They also have the variety packs and I even saw a coupon code for first time purchasers. Enjoy!

Is the caffeine in the green tea any cause for concern? I was told by my nut to avoid caffeine.

These look wonderful! It looks like they carry them at Trader Joe's if you have one in your area. I'm going to check my local store tomorrow and pick some up. Thank you for the idea.

So these would count towards the water quota if used occasionally in the immediate post op days? I wonder about the caffeine as well.

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

        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
