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 am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
