In my experiences yes it has changed the consistency and taste....I tried adding UN flavored to water and crystal light and it was terrible! I'm not a big fan if the milky stuff either but there are these water based drinks called isopure.....they are fruity flavors and come in a 20oz bottle - the bottle has 40g of protein....they are pretty good just kinda expensive...$4 per bottle at my Dr. office. If you come up with anything else not milky please let me know!!! Thanks and good luck!

Baked snap pea crisps...couldn't eat a full serving but they are delicious!!!! Taste a little bit like bugles but BETTER!! Found them in Wal-Mart.

Ok I'm not drinking or doing drugs or anything but I swear ive replaced food with reading everything on this site!! Well....this site and facebook....facebook just feeds my Christian Grey/50 shades of grey obsession. I suppose these addictions are healthier than getting high or overeating..lol!!

Thanks mami!

Love this...my thoughts exactly!

Welcome to the group.....congrats on the 95 lbs!

It seems none of us have the same pre or post op food guidelines from our docs/nutritionists but what about exercise. What does your surgeon say you should be getting in per day and how many days per week? Mine says 1hr 7 days/week.....I do everything I can to get this in but some days I only get 30-45 mins in.

I felt this way for about 5 mins until it hit me like a ton of bricks.....wonder what they all think of me being this fat and never REALLY doing anything about it? I let everyone in on my decision and I told them it was not about having everyones approval but having their support. My family/friends/coworkers have been extremely supportive and I cant imagine going through this feeling truly alone and not having everyone else understand what was going on. I think you'd be surprised how much positive feedback people in your life will give you knowing you are trying to better your life.

50lbs is awesome no matter what your starting weight!!! You're off to a great start!

Oh yea I had not even thought of this yet!!! However I am scared to death of looking like a deflated balloon!!

OOPS....didn't realize I was posting in the man room!

What part of NC? I'm in NC also and had my surgery in June....good luck with everything.

I used to be so excited about someone bringing a cake or something sweet into the office (part of the reason I'm here)....but today someone brought in 3 boxes of krispy kreme donuts and id like to find out who and throw them at him/her...yes I know I'm being rediculous....just had to vent!!!!

Can you have solids yet? I've been ordering meat (steak or chicken) but can only eat a tiny bit of it. Or chili/soup would be a good option.

Your typo was nothing compared to mine....I just re-read my post and if I didn't know better Id think I was drunk when I wrote it....I should really start proof reading before posting anything. Thanks for the info on the Syntrax shakes.

I've had this happen a few times (not the pain part but the saliva)...will not eat canned tuna anymore because of it....ran to the bathroom to throw up and it was just tons if saliva. It hasn't happened since I left the tuna alone. Has it happened more than once?

So I thought I would try mixing a scoop of flavored protein powder with 16 oz water and a cherry lineage flavor packet (crystal light or something like that) and I could nit drink it...it was awful...the protein. powder changed the taste/consistency. Now I'm wondering - is this what the fruity syntrax ones taste like??? I was thinking of ordering some but not if they taste like that need I made this morning.

What a difference! You look amazing!

You look great!
