I have those dasani Water lemonade flavor drops that you sent me, will those work? Also, do you know about managing the texture, will making it with hot water help?

I have been adding a TB of powdered Peanut Butter (netrition) and a TB of chia seeds.

Yes, pink lemonade flavoring should should help with putrid taste of "raw" green drinks. I prefer adding the dasani pineapple coconut flavoring myself. I have never tried to prepare with hot water so cannot help there. Perhaps mixing up with a Blender Bottle will help you.

I did the drops, but oooweee, it was sweet. I'm sure I'll figure out a balance. What I'm worried about now is the way it skyrockets my carb count :( I'm not exercising right now (bad cold) so can't afford the carbs.

I would like to rekindle this topic and see if anyone has found a great product that comes in a pill form. The drinks are a little rough for me so I'd like to try something else.

Actually, good question. Trader Joe sells a product called Very Green. I have been using it for a while and it is fairly inexpensive. One bottle has 90 servings so it lasts for 3 months. It has a fairly decent green mix blend.

Hey Fiddle! I knew you would respond! Do you think the pills are as effective as the drinks? Do you see similar results?

Sure - the pills are helpful. Just 2 a day. More than anything they are an insurance policy with regards to nutritional needs. They do make me feel better, but not on the same calibre as, say, a freshly blended super food fruit smoothy. That doesn't mean they are not as helpful; it is just I do not physically feel the difference as much before and after swallowing the pills. Take them for bridging nutritional gaps alone and you should be good.

The only good green superfood powder i've ever found is Passion projects COmplex green which i just buy off their website. Its honestly the best product and has helped me loose this extra weight cause I have it in a smoothie for Breakfast and sometimes do a detox day when i just drink heaps of it in Water and nothing else, SOO good. Also its just helped me with feeling a lot clearer and healthier in general (less meh)

it says it has more than 81 ingredients and is an award winning formula done by a famous biochemist....the number 1 reason i love it is cause it has NO crap in it AT ALL (amazing?!?!) ie; it has no fillers, additives, sugar etc and is low GI, low cal, good for people with allergies or diabetes (i'm "pre" diabetes). The green powder has Protein, antioxidants, herbs, mushrooms, Probiotics, digestive enzymes, fibre, fatty and amonio acids, chlorophyll, Vitamins, minerals, and raw/organic fruit and veg - ALL of those things are why i love this product cause its just everything you need in one and it is NOT some wishy washy bullshit powder that actually only has trace amounts of those things in it - it is powerful shit.

ALSO i just learnt that other superfood powders actually use juice powder which was designed to be used for the flavouring industry not for nutritional value so you're paying heaps of money for essentially a tub of vegetable flavouring!!!! Whereas the passion projects complex green one is freeze dried (i think thats what its called don't test me on it though) and that means that the ingredients are RAW and all the fibre, nutrients and Vitamins are actually intact. So personally after taking this product I just can't bring myself to take anything else tbh.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
