Topic: RE: any advice on making medifast tasty?
Was on medifast for a year as one my attempts to avoid WLS. I really enjoyed adding any of the nut-flavored Capella flavor drops to the chocolate or banana shakes. They are unsweetened, which I prefer. You probably can't get them in time for surgery, so I sometimes used almond extract or the DaVinci sugar free hazlenut syrup in a pinch - both available at my grocery store.
I detested the orange shakes, but did like mixing the MF vanilla with prepared Crystal Light Orange Sunrise instead of water. You can do cherry crystal light with the chocolate shake.
If you have the MF pudding mixes, blend them with a shake for a thick treat. (counts as 2 meals) - I did that on days where I was too busy to have them all on schedule. If not - I imagine that you could mix in a Tbsp of sugar free Jell-O pudding mix. I liked butterscotch, pistachio, chocolate and banana pudding for mixing in with protein shakes.
Pumpkin Pie spice or cinnamon and a little Splenda mixes well in the vanilla.
The real trick is figuring out the right amount of water,ice, and blend time, and having a blender that is up to the task with the ice.

Topic: VSG for me 10/28
Just barely making the October club. Scheduled for VSG 10/28.
Maybe with enough pain meds maybe I can be a convincIng zombie for Halloween...
Cardiac screening, and final pre-op visit is a week away, expecting to go on liquids at that point, but not too concerned - I've been on that diet too before, so I know what to expect.
Wishing good luck to the rest of you waiting with me, and a speedy recovery to the ones who have gone before.
