July 5, 201313 yr Author Really?!? Lol when we were there I didn't even try them because the 5 women I talked to that did said they tasted like old meat! Hahaha Glad to hear they're better now! Old meat?! What the heck? Lol mine tasted like...fruit.
July 5, 201313 yr I think there are two kinds. You can order from room service, and they are red, and I can't identify the flavour! LOL And then you can buy from the gift shop, but I haven't tried those ones. I've heard that the gift shop ones are best.
July 5, 201313 yr Lol I never tried them! Haha but meat was definitely the perceived flavor! Hahaha I heard there were good ones in the gift shop but they didn't have them the one time we caught the gift shop open. The chicken broth though?! Was KILLER! Especially if you squeeze a lime into it!!

Especially if you squeeze a lime into it!! I've been trying to sip the chicken broth...I get full sooo fast though. And my sleeve is still kinda sore I think...the popcicles are delectable though lol...I had the ones from room service and from the gift shop, loved both!

I could barely get anything in the first few days. It'll get better as you heal. Congrats on your exciting new life!!!
July 5, 201313 yr Thank you for the input on those! I'll be there on the 15th now since I had to re-schedule. I'll be sure to avoid the meat flavored ones.
July 5, 201313 yr When I was there, room service brought me two different favors of Popsicles. An orange colored one that was good. Then a purple colored one that was possibly the worst thing I've ever tasted. Unfortunately, I only got the good one once.
July 5, 201313 yr When I was there, the popsicles were green and they were horrible...inedible! When we were leaving they asked us for comment on our stay and what they could improve. We told them about the popsicles and they said that they had LOTS of complaints. Hope they have changed them. :tongue2:
July 5, 201313 yr POPSICLE UPDATE: This is breaking news, cause I was just in the lobby 10 minutes ago! LOL They now have a selection of flavours of popsicles in the gift shop. Mango, lime, banana and coconut. The cashier spoke a little English, and she told me none of the fruit flavours had added sugar. But, beware the coconut! It tastes heavenly, but has shreds of actual coconut in it, which I think are pretty dangerous for the newly sleeved. As soon as I came to my senses, I spit mine out, and it died a sad death in the toilet. I hope I didn't swallow any coconut bits!
July 5, 201313 yr Not gonna lie, I feel a little cheated that all they had when I was there were "meat Popsicles" hahaha But I did just fine without them! Lol I'm sure you'll be ok. Sounds like you did well quitting as soon as you realized it! And I doubt it'll effect you too much even if you did get a few strands. But maybe something worth mentioning to the coordinators so that they can either talk to the hotel about maybe carrying another flavor instead or at least letting the patients know to be aware of it!
July 5, 201313 yr Good point, Kristina! I'm really struck by how many of the hotel guests are actually here for bariatric surgery! It's an industry, no doubt, and they obviously want to cater to this clientele. They do a great job of it!

To make it worse the broth was hit or miss, sometimes I'd get a good bowl and sometimes not. Thankfully after surgery I wasn't hungry and Gatorade was more than enough
July 5, 201313 yr I'm very excited about the new popsicles!!! When I was here Tuesday night I got the nasty red, meat ones. I have just sent my boyfriend out for the good ones
July 6, 201313 yr I was there June 10th thru 13th and the Popsicles tastes like cantaloupe which I hate. I ate a few bites but they weren't my SF ones from home.
