  1. the sad fact is that this is what they "prescribed" but...i am going to call and "verify" that it's ok that i skip meals once in a while because i'd rather be "hungry" than sick. (hopefully she will have a better solution though) yeah, i wish they would have tested them, after reading that they sounded good, they would have noticed that was the only good part lol.
  2. ok, i am sorry, it must be me. i think i have a taste retardation or something because.... adding 5 strawberries and half a banana with the ice and packet of meal stuff...put the blender stuff @ two serving sizes...which means it cut my meal in half in CONTENT..right? half potent? this time, the sips bring tears to my eyes lol. :thumbup: i liiiiike strawberries and bananas. but i don't like this. lol. and it smells better than it tastes TODAY. LOL. yesterday it smelled as bad as it tasted. haha
  3. ok, thank you guys verrrrrrrry much. now that i know what one tastes the worst... (i am hoping) lol... it is PINEAPPLE-APRICOT and it makes me want to throw up after every sip and it takes me around 20 mins to get down because i am so scared of it. what can i do to hide the taste? LOL. i have strawberries...should i dump all of them in? :thumbup: lol.. ayeyayeyae. me scared. u know? i don't want to make it worse. lol. but..holy wow. this is baad. again, thank you guys. <333 and this is the label..
  4. hey guys, thank you so much for the responses. =/ well, i cried myself to sleep LOL. i usually only cry when frustrated so i don't know if it was pain or frustration over pain. >:thumbup: BUT, here is the story... i am going to St. Joseph's hospital and the cooridnators, dietitian, etc...they chose this one brand because of the ingredients, i guess? they said it would be the best for their program, and we had to buy it. $150 for 2 weeks. so that will eventually become $300 for the liquid diet. it's 600 calories a day. (200 per...meal.) no...food. i've had slimfast and some other stuff before.........i thought that was bad...but it was just a lack of my attention you know? ...like...why have that crap when i can have food? lol. i was young. so i just blew it off. BUT THIS.........HOLY WOW. we had to buy it. not knowing what anything tasted like...annnnnnnd i picked a box of what the lady said "everyone loves this one" ..pineapple-apricot? and after every sip... no joke...i said "oh God." because...i couln't take it lol. anyways, here is the label. the front of the box says "must be under physician supervision if using under 800 calories per day" lol. i'm at the point where i am fearing my next meal...right now. i'd rather post on the forum. LOL. it's been ONE DAY. this will be my breakfast...my 4th meal. how many more to go? lol. *scream*

  7. i feel nautious...is this normal? like...borderline "time to throw up" and i haven't had anything in the last few hours. i had my 3 "meals" of liquid today. granted...they grossed me out, but i got them down. why am i sick now? :wink2: i drank Water because my head hurts and now i feel like getting rid of all of it.

  17. hey guys, i just got this idea for a means of "careful intake"... and i was wondering if anyone had any idea of the psychology behind it. remember back in school when you teacher had you learn to spell words by writing them over and over? and when you write, you are programming yourself...when you read, you are programming yourself. kinda like the "daily journals" - food and the gratitude journal...reinforcing, right? well, what if someone had a problem with .. a sweet tooth, or eating too much, and you want to have your mind over matter, just so that you are ok from the "root" of your desires.. what if you wrote "i have no desire for Cookies... cake.. diet coke.. lol" ? would that help? :cool2:
