Wondering why in the hell did I buy vanilla shakes? I don't like to drink anything that is vanilla. ???? But it's my Breakfast so I need to drink it. I'm glad I only bought one case. Ok, time to stop staring at it and time to plug and chug, lol.

I don't know if this is allowed or not but can you add a 1/4 tspn of a flavored extract to your drink & mix it well? Like banana flavor or some sort of fruit flavor so it will go down easier?

You could add something like MIO to it to change the flavor might make it easier and doesn't add anything bad to it.

I had that thought. The other bottles I most likely will, but I have nothing at work, and my coworker just took her Torani syrups home. :( I jut have to suck it up.

I used the sugar free Torani to flavor mine.

Thankfully, I like the chocolate ones.

I did the same thing. And have been wondering the same thing. They're not horrible. They're just not good. Luckily I only have 4 or 5 left.

That's funny you mentioned this. I tolerated the vanilla shakes ok before surgery, but after, NO WAY. I ended up finishing up the box by holding my nose, and then taking a small sip of coffee before releasing. That bad. I donated the rest of the case to the food box at church. Lesson learned - no overbuying from now on!

Ok, finally went and got some Target brand sugar free flavored Syrup.

You can add 1T of sugar free/fat free pudding to it. I make a cinnamon roll flavored with vanilla shake, butterscotch SF/FF pudding and a dash of cinnamon. So good!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
