The fun has just begun! CONGRATULATIONS

I usually mix mine with Glaceau vitamin water (10 calories), over ice. Makes it not taste so strong!

I drink these same bullets but I "cut" mine with glaceau low cal vitamin water - it's only 10 calories and 4 g carbs! Straight up they are waaaaay too sweet!!

As for your Water intake, I would just look at my pee. If it's clear, then I think you are hydrated enough. I am not drinking a lot of water, but I ice all my Protein shakes and ice my bullets and my pee is clearer than it's ever been. The Dr. said if that's the case than I am ok. The problem is when it's darker or cloudy. Good Luck!:thumbup1:

It's a lot easier to lose the weight than to be IGNORANT. You WILL lose the weight, but I doubt if this kid will EVER lose his ignorance. Once you're at your goal (which won't be that long I'm sure) you won't even think about that dumb comment. Now, chin up....full speed ahead!!!!

Wow, and here I was thinking I was the only one at a stall! The scale FINALLY budged today 1.5lbs. I'm almost 3 weeks out (Monday) and feeling frustrated too. However, my husband was on a business trip all week and when he got home last night he said I looked a LOT thinner, especially in my face and stomach! Those darn scales, I think theirs a little guy in their laughing at us!

Hi There, I've heard conflicting theories about the 30grams of protein thing. I have a friend who is an Olympian Gold Medalist and he said it's a myth. I've researched it and seen both sides of the debate. Confusing isn't it?:thumbup:

At my TJ's they have chocolate and vanilla cream, I pour it over ice and add some cinammon to the vanilla creme. I also found some Banana and Chocolate Cookie at Linbergh Nutrition by the same maker, WORLDWIDE. Enjoy. If you add a scoop of protein powder to it in the blender you would get a good whollup of protein and it would be thicker. I do that sometimes, I can crank that protein up to 60 grams!!! I also use these "bullets" that are 42 grams of liquid protein I pour 1/4-1/2 in a glass of ice then pur vitamin water (10 calories from Target) on top of it and sip that over crushed ice. Good Luck!

Hi, I don't know where you live, but I get these cans of protein shakes that have 35grams of protein and only 2 carbs from Trader Joe's in California. so I usually have one for breakfast and another later in the day (70 grams), ,then I have some s/f pudding with skim milk and that's 15 grams and then chicken/beef/wonton broth. I just wish I would start losing more weight!:svengo:Good Luck, when do you get to go to mushies?

Yeah!!!!!! Good for You.....that's like what...a 5 year old?! lol :-)

Has anyone experienced a "fuzzy tongue"? I'm on mt first day of full liquids and my tongue feels weird. It's like cat hair on it! Also it's white vs pink help!!!!

Tiffy, that's so fantastic! Good for you :-))))

I got super sick last night and today. It's really hard to swallow, kindof like strep throat. I use to get it a lot when I was a "kid". I think the stress of everything finally is catching up to me. It's been one week since I had VSG. I'm wrapped up in VICKS and hoping that by tomorrow, I can finally get on some full liquids.

Congratulations Susan...that is awesome!

Wow! What an accomplishment, makes me glad I did it! Keep us posted, thanks for your inspiration ***
