Those both sound good!!! I'll have to try them both!
I'm using Bariessential too. Since my post I have tried mixing crystal light orange and lemonade with the vanilla and skim milk and they are good! This morning i use some instant decaf coffee, with torani sugar free caramel, vanilla, and skim milk. I was also told you could mix PB2 with the shakes so i have been mixing it with the chocolate shake
I am on 4 Bariessential shakes a day that can be mixed with water or skim milk. You can add in sugar free and caffeine free additives. For breakfast I will take vanilla protein, cup of skim milk, and an orange crystal light and it tastes like an Orange Julius. For chocolate protein power I will add PB2, skim milk, and ice in a blender to make a smoothie.
Fort Worth! And I've gone back and forth too with whether or not I would go through with it but my surgery is scheduled for June 29th! I'm doing the pre-op liquid diet now, which I can't lie has been tough! I'm on day 4 now and weighed myself this morning and last 5 lbs in the first 3 days of the liquid diet.
I started my pre-op diet Friday too. Friday wasn't so bad but Saturday was HORRIBLE!!! I had a pounding head ache all day and since I was out of town visiting family it was even harder to be around all the foods I love but could n't eat. My surgeon said I could chew sugar free gum which has helped tremendously with the satisfaction to chew. Good luck and know your not alone!
