Vanilla. I ordered vanilla and chocolate. At least with vanilla you can add flavoring to change it. Hope I'm not too late. And best of luck! When are you being banded and where?

It's ok. I have to be honest and tell you that I was having dry heaves on the 2nd or 3rd day. But what I did was add more Water and add lots of ice. I had to have it good and cold...and funny enough I grew to like it.

March 13, I can tell you not to worry,etc etc, but you will and it will probably feel so surreal when you're getting ready to go in for surgery. I couldn't believe I was doing this, such a drastic change when for years and years I was content to do nothing. My surgery was nov 28 2012 and it was the best thing I've ever done for me, just for me. I have another surgery coming up in a couple of weeks...gallbladder. My lapband dr is doing that surgery as well so I feel like i'm in good hands. I want to wish you the best of luck. Where are you having it done?

Right, right..I remember a conversation earlier about is. Well, have no fear. He's a great dr with a great staff. Day 2 and day 3 were my most uncomfortable but only because of restrictions the larger incision had on me. It was also right where the waistline on my pants sit. Operation was on wednesday, back at work on Monday. I had shoulder pain, heating pad worked. And also used GasX strips. I took the pain meds for a couple of days, helped in getting a good nights sleep. I just came back from Jamaica and left all my capris and bathing suits there. I've lost a total of 25lbs total and they no longer fit well. I know some people are losing like crazy at first, but I'm going to let my body lose as its meant to lose. No pressure. I'm sick of pressure relating to weight loss. Good luck, i'll be thinking of you on your surgery date, I wish you only the best...I know you'll do well.

Congratulation on your weight loss so far! You're doing amazingly! I'm not worried just uncertain as to how everything will be after the surgery. I appreciate your honesty and explanation of what is common experiences. It brings me comfort in knowing what to expect.

I love the chocolate and it doesn't love me. It has wheat and I'm intolerant to it. If anyone wants it they can have it. You just need to pick it up from me.

I was thinking of ordering a mix of flavours. Does it taste ok? My surgery date is march 13. Coming up soon!

If you want six boxes if chocolate I will give it to you if you would pick it up

Hope you are doing well Contessa. 03/13/13. Sounds like a lucky day to me. The first few days are a little trying, but so worth it in the end. Keep us updated on how you're doing. Best wishes.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
