In Your Opinion



Recommended Posts

I think it's from having so many years of allergies. I can smell something if I stick it right up to my nose, but not any other way. I had my daughter stick her nose in the jug and ask her what it smelled like, and she said there was no smell.

And there is no aftertaste or it doesn't change the taste of what you add it to either? It is GNC's own brand?

yes. It's GNC brand. I didn't think it changed the taste of anything I put it in, but like I said, people tell me I don't taste things right because my sense of smell is off.

That's one of the things I don't like about the lean dessert choc. coconut. I think it does have an aftertaste.

I have always heard that your smell/taste are connected. That lean dessert must have a strong aftertaste for you to even notice that it has a taste at all. Try the syrups - it totally kicked the aftertaste of the MRM Protein powder I bought.

I was going to buy some but the smallest package they had was $17 ... I may just order some from Syntrax when I order the nectar since I can't find it here anywhere

Why do you have no sense of smell? You can take some of mine as it's become extra sensitive since the surgery.

Ohhh, do not order directly from Syntrax, that's the most expensive way to buy it. It's half the price if you go to:

Netrition.com - The Internet's Premier Nutrition Superstore!

From there you do a search on Syntrax products and you'll see them all.

So, I'm a bit confused. Is a clear liquid, Water, for instance, when mixed with a Protein powder like lean dessert, still considered a clear? Even though it's more like a shake?

A clear Protein is nectar, Isopuke, or powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. That's about it.

What about crystal light mixed with GNC's unflavored

Protein powder?

If that was not clear, I cheated and didn't know it.

But now that I think about it, it was past day 5 so maybe

not.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
