Topic: I need vanilla or strawberry Carnation Instant Breakfast quick! (Tulsa area)

Does anyone know where I might be able to find some sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast in the Tulsa area in vanilla or strawberry. I have been to so many stores looking and ALL I can find is chocolate. It's only been 5 days of my pre-op and I can't take much more of the chocolate.

Please Help!

I feel the same way as well. I also started last tuesday with the preop diet. Everybody kept saying that it would get better as the days go on. I think it got worse. I felt like I just got hungrier and hungrier. I sure hope this doesnt mean that Im going to fail after surgery. Lets keep in touch and help each other out. Good luck tomorrow. My surgery is tomorrow as well.

Topic: RE: May 25th makes a new ME with VSG!

Hi there! Congrats on the surgery date...TOMORROW STARTS A BRAND NEW YOU! I've learned NOT to let negative people and their thoughts turn me from doing what I NEED to do. They don't live in my shoes. They don't know my struggles. The private cries I had at night. The looks and taunts that I still hear. I pretend it doesn't bother me, but deep down, it hurts. People who have NEVER had problems with weight and being gawked at because of weight will NEVER understand. And truthfully, THEY wouldn't want to be our size!! So why are they acting up when WE decide to do something about it!! Sometimes, people truly make me sick sometimes..... LOL Sorry, I didn't mean to vent like that. But I'm sure you understand where I'm coming from....

Please, go into this day with a positive attitude. YOU have to live with this decision, no one else. When all else fails, THAT'S all that matters, what YOU want and need to do for you! I will keep you in prayer, and I'm hoping that you have an uneventful surgery and recovery! Please keep us posted! Gonna add you as a friend! Lap Band or VSG, we all have a common goal.... A slimmer, trimmer, and healthier US!!

....just your classic story of an overweight beauty who's looking for a change!!

I started my Pre Op Diet last tuesday and I must be doing something wrong because I'm still always hungry.. Very nervous about the surgery but so excited about a new change for me!
