I add the coffee to chocolate and also peppermint extract and then tons if ice and the shake becomes as thick as McDonalds. I have one every day for Breakfast When I get a fill I have to do 3 days of shakes so then I have 4 of them. Good luck!!

I am 16 days away from being banded (june 18th, they moved my date up 2 days) and I thought about having a food funeral, a good way to say goodbye to all the food that made me fat...pepsi my fav, snickers, pizza, french fries, etc...but then I say to.myself that is exactly what this food did make me fat and use.it as a stress reliever when im stressed or bored but im learning to use my energy in positive non eating ways besides I have been doing the 6 month diet and really watched what I ate....sometimes when I wanted to give up I got a pizza for my kids for dinner and was only able to eat 2 pieces instead of half the box because ive been practacing now.......i just knew I wanted that pizza and my brain said no you dont really

well whats done is done...i dont know what post op diet your dr advised but if they gave you one, its best to follow it as your insides are still healing and taking too big of bites could hurt the inside stitches...stay with your allotted amounts of food and def try to make better/healthier options..you deserve it.

I'm on day 5 of my liquid diet and it is difficult in only allowed to have the slim time shakes 3 times a day and low glycemic veggies. Raw or steamed. For myself adding instant coffee to the shakes makes them tasty and adding mrs dash no salt seasoning makes the steamed veggies bearable .

I am having my surgery the same day as you with Dr. Cobourn. I had to do 3 week liquid diet (I think I have 3 weeks because I am a bigger guy). I am on day 11. See you in the recovery room!

Hello! My surgery is on June 12 with Dr.Coburn with SWLC I'm on day 4 of shakes and vegetables. I typically like veggies but it kinda sucks they have to be steamed or or raw . At first I didn't like the shakes but I found that adding instant coffee to them makes it much better ! I'd rather the shakes then the veggies at this point .. 10 more days to go
