Hi Nanette! No, I've not tried any of the drinks yet. They say that your taste changes so much after surgery that what you like now, you may not be able to stand afterwards. Sooo, I'm just holding off on it all. Here's the link to the group I joined, just put it all together(no spaces) they have all kind of reciepes, info,etc in the files section. http:// health.groups .yahoo.com /group/GastricBypass-PostOp/

I AM STILL PENDING MY DENIAL THROUGH MY INSURANCE CO TO JUST SEE THE SURGEON I HAVE CHOSEN, IF THEY DENY ME AGAIN AND I EXHAUST ALL MY OPTIONS I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO PICK ANOTHER ONE, HOPEFULLY NOT THAT IS SO STRESSFUL SOMETIMES, IM SURE YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

Congrats with the weight loss. That is awesome!! I thought these drinks really sounded yummy, and it spruces them up so maybe they are not so terrible.(i've heard theres alot of nasty ones out there..lol) I saw on your profile you run a retirement home, which one is it? I've worked at nursing homes, assisted living homes, all that sort of thing since I was 16 up until the last 2 1/2 yrs. Then I became a sahm.
