I use it. It has a bit of an odor, but it doesn't bother me. I use it in yogurt, pudding, oatmeal, Jello, Soups, Beans. Pretty much anything it can stir into. I don't really use it in drinks, but opt for a serving or 2 of Syntrax Nectar through the day (clear fruit Protein Drink mixed with water).

Hi all, is anyone drinking Bai drinks? I was sleeved on 9/19 and am not having any issues getting in fluids, but I'm a little sick of the fake-tasting sweeteners of Vitamin Water zero and others. I tasted Bai yesterday and it was SO delicious. It has 5 calories per serving and 1 sugar, though it lists 7g of Erythritol. I did a quick search and didn't see anything alarming. I really hope that no one bursts my bubble on these because they taste so much better. I know that the fact that they have any calories isn't ideal, but...

I have Aetna. Mine was submitted on a Friday and I had approval on Tuesday. I really expected a fight because I had a BMI of 36 and my comorbidities (PCOS, prediabetes) were not on the official list. I was shocked that they came back with a positive so quickly.

I was sleeved on 9/19 and have been living off of Syntrax nectar (fuzzy navel flavor) and I put unflavored GENEPRO powder in everything.

I put in yogurt and mashed black Beans. I also mix it into sugar free Jello (mixed in the cold Water before combining with the powder and hot water). Mix it in all Soups.

My surgery was the same day and my incision is still really sore, but I don't know that it's gotten worse. I saw my surgeon yesterday and they didn't seem concerned, so long as it isn't swollen or red in a circle around it.

I see you. I think people just react to the one they see at the top of their feed.

I'm the same way. Only 6 days post op and I am so thirsty and really taking fluids quickly. No problems so far. I'm sure I'll struggle with the 30 min rule once I graduate to purees.

I ended up with single incision through my belly button. It's pretty sore (sleeved on 9/19), so I have to wear loose dresses.

Thanks @@#BirdDog ! They're still keeping me waiting in pre-op, but I'm ready to get it over with!

I got a tentative date of October 3 and was tracking toward that. Last week my surgical coordinator told me that they wanted to move me to Sept 19th. I hadn't yet been submitted for insurance approval (Aetna) and thought it was never going to happen. But they called today and told me i was approved!!! I was positive that i'd have to appeal, because I have a lower BMI and my comorbidities weren't specifically on Aetna's list (PCOS & pre-diabetes). So excited and so nervous. I have to do just 2 days of the liquid diet this weekend and it's happening. Shocked... Thanks to everyone on this forum for all of the useful info!

My surgery is at 11am tomorrow. Definitely freaking out, but excited. I only had to do 2 days of liquids, but I can't wait to not be so hungry.
