Is this too good to be true? For pre-op 2 weeks mixed with the shakes?? It takes like a chocolate Peanut Butter shake from sonic.

FYI: The Jiff peanut powder is nasty.
I don't put PB2 in anything. I just like to mix it and eat it with a spoon. The chocolate one tastes better than the original.
Another trick you can do is mix some up and add one tablespoon of real Peanut Butter. The taste is superb and you only get half the calories from a 2 tablespoon portion.

Never heard of this stuff until I read this. Picked some up at Walmart today. Just poured a little out and added some Water. Tasted pretty good. I'll use it in a shake here shortly.

Just spoke with my doctor and I can have it for the pre op diet as well

I'm not sure when making the personal decision to not tell the world all of your personal business became a "half truth" or "lie by omission" but if that's the case, I have a few scenerios/questions for those of you who think that way.
By that logic:

If someone asks me how me and husband are the day after a huge fight (or a night of great sex), is it my duty to tell them all the details or is my standard answer of "Great!" or "Fine!" now a lie?

If someone asks me why I look tired, do I have to tell them that my husband snored and farted all night/was extremely frisky/kept getting up to pee and woke me up a gazillion times or am I lying?

I am just getting over a horrible tummy bug. When people ask me if I'm feeling better, should I go ahead and tell them that I am terribly afraid that I am going to poop in my pants at any minute because my stomach still feels off? If I don't, I am TOTALLY lying by omission.

Well meaning friends often ask how my kids are doing in school. Should I tell them that my oldest is in the top ten in her class, got into a top rated university, has received an a$$ load of scholarships but that her ex-boyfriend is being a real bast@rd and making her personal life a little miserable? I mean, that's the truth.

People often ask me my ethnicity because I am olive complected in the bible belt. I tell them Mexican and Italian, but I leave out the drop of German and Acatec Indian. Pin a big red L on my chest!

Must I tell people that I am on the rag/pissed at my kids/need a glass of wine/really have no desire to talk to them/in a hurry when they ask me how I am doing? Manners be damned! I don't want to be a liar.


Do I love your skirt? Why yes, I do! But now I have to tell you that it's beautiful but looks like **** on you because I don't want to omit any info.

Why am I smiling? I just crop dusted some nasty faced woman an aisle over. TRUTH!!


I could go on forever ...

Keeping my personal business PERSONAL doesn't make ME a liar just because you choose to share YOUR personal business.

I LOVE it in my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate splendor shakes. like a Peanut Butter cup!

I am feel better. Still some pain, and some moments of low energy. Other than that much better than yesterday Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App

I have tried tons of Protein shakes and finally discover if I take the premier vanilla shakes and add equal amounts of skim milk, I can drink it without gagging. But that's the only one I can remotely swallow.

I will let you know!!! Still pretty uncomfortable today. Hoping tomorrow will be a lot better. I was at least able to sleep in bed pretty comfortably last night.

c section MUCH harder recovery. Hysterectomy much harder recover, both totally worth it.
The sleeve was nothing compared to them.

I think it's encouraging and empowering to ourselves and our WLS sisters& brothers to show some before and afters. Everything you went through (or are about to go through) deserves a little praise. Even if you aren't at goal weight yet, (I'm not!!) share !

It's been a while since I've been on here and just wanted to share my progress. My starting weight was 314, I'm currently 196! I'm amazed at the difference and progress I've made! I wish anyone thinking about surgery or just beginning their journey the best! This was the best decision I've made and it has truly changed my life!

I go tomorrow to pick up the shakes the dr wants me to drink but I've been trying a ton of shakes and can only stomach the premier vanilla shakes but I have to dilute it with equal parts skim milk. I just can't stand the flavor. I'm worried about the one they want me to buy. Do u get to pick any shakes?
