Topic: RE: Oct 27th is my date!
I don't have to do my pre-op diet until 10/13. I have Bariatric Fusion and Unjury protein isolate powders to use. I plan on, in the vanilla ones, to use berries and bananas and blend it real good with ice and skim milk. I am not a fan of the protein powder taste lol so anything can help it along.

Topic: RE: anyone having sleeve in october??
Kendra, I would love to keep up with your progress as well. The 19th will be here quickly! I started my liquid diet a week ago tomorrow... My dr. wants me on the liquid diet for 2 weeks prior to surgery, but it seems a lot of Dr.'s have many different requirements! What will you have to do to prep?

Topic: RE: any advice on making medifast tasty?
Mark;
Congrats you are almost there! :)
I have tried all the different kinds and so far I am only liking the dutch chocolate which seems to taste like cake mix. I mix it with cold coffee and ice with just a tiny splash of ff cream and it's so tasty, but I don't want to drink it more than once a day cuz it would get to be too much I think.
I have tried mixing strawberry and banana and strawberry and orange but it's all such a chore, I miss the taste of bread but i know that this will make it worth it. thanks for your reply.

good morning
i am having my surgery with Dr Clark on 10-07-10
i found for me that if i make them really cold that they seam to taste better
i also mix two flavor's together
i use the vanilla to cut the flavors of the strawberry or the chocolate
i love the banana one
i use really cold water or i make them up and freeze them just until they start to freeze and take them out and drink
have stuck to the basic flavors of chocolate, strawberry , vanilla , and banana
let me know if you would like to try any of these flavors i have lats and could meet with you some time this week and give you some of any of the ones you would like to try
i also recommend that if you do not have a "blender ball shaker cup " that you get one
i found that if i shake them just before i take a drink each time that they don't seem to separate
take care
best of luck to you
