I ordered them from powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury.com. I got 2 vanilla, 2 chocolate, 2 unflavored, 2 chicken Soup, a food thermomater and a shaker. I'm going to start trying them tomorrow. My cousin had bypass and she loved the chicken Soup.< /p>

I am so ordering these today. And it looks like they are lactose free, so hopefully they will be easy on the tummy. I see rave reviews about the chicken soup protien...I hope it's good!

Also if you all haven't seen this one deal (also lactose free) I just ordered these too. Syntax nectar 13 samples for $13.00 http://www.si03.com/medical/med_index.htm 866-333-7403 x803 M-F 8-5 Central.

Now I'm just looking for a good deal on chewable/disolvable Vitamins. Has anyone found a good link to order Vitamins where the shipping is not outrageous?

I also ordered my vitamins from unjury. Shipping is $5, can't beat it. Yes, I have seen the syntax nectar. Maybe I'll order those too. I added the chocolate Protein to my coffee this morning and it was good. It is sweet though. But I don't mind my stuff sweet :)

Ending day 2 of preop diet and this is harder than I though!! I just want one thin slice of cheese pizza or a kid burger from McD's... Don't need a full spread! Just want something with some carbs! I sure hope this gets easier!!!

I just ended my first day and did good, although it is only the first day ;) and I'm sure it gets harder! I figure this as part of the surgery and I want to make my surgery as less complicated as possible. I kept calorie count in sparkpeople. I got all my Water in, so I have been in the ladies room alot. We just have to remember our goal in the long run. We got this . . . we can do it together :D .

my pre op diet is just 3 days of Water and yogurt.

I'm doing some protien shakes ( Optifast ) alternating with light eating on my own to try to help the surgery go well- hopefully that helps and kick starts some weight loss.

      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!!
