As for the taste. I like it personally but the sugar content for me is way to much even now. I do not drink if often but when I do I monitor my sugar levels ( I am insulin dependend diabetic) really close. I can only imagine what it would cause after I have my surgery.
I just wanted to also thank you all again for such a warm welcome last night. Thank you all for everything.
Jan: Thank you for the lovely welcome package. It was very thoughtful. If there is any think I can do to help keep those going please let me know and I will do my best to help.
Renee you are my salvation cause like I said last night I was giving up thanks again for dragging me alone. Love ya like a sister from another mother.
Janet: Thanks for offering to be my "Angel" but from what Renee tells me I dont know if I am going to be able to have one cause I will not have anyone at the hospital with me. I do not have a support system at all. I am going threw this basicly alone... Long story will post that later.
As for eveyone else that was there last night. Thank you so much with your words of encouragment and wisdom. I have been truely blessed by you all and hope to continue to be able to be each and every day. Weather it be through these boards or each meeting I am able to go to.
Gods love with blessings

Doesn't that freak you out when they do that and make it sound like it would be good for you!!! 10 grams of protein and 28 grams of sugar - holy Moses!!! Of course we would all like that taste - can you say Snickers bar??
It was so great to get to meet you last night. Keep posting and come to the meeting whenever you can. We are a rowdy bunch sometimes but we love each other and care for each other and all pre and post folks. When someone has been gone for a long time it is like a giant reunion when they come back - like Janet last night. Sorry you don't have a support group but you have all of us holding you up so don't worry. Janet can still be your angel, she'll just have to call the hospital to see how you are after surgery. It can be done.
By the way, went for my annual physical today and my PCP says I'm the poster child for weight loss surgery. He is so pleased with my health - says I have a new life and believe me I know it and appreciate it and thank God every day for His goodness to me.
Hugs and love,

"WLS is about making better choices, a healthier lifestyle and seeing how little you can eat. Portion control is the key to all weight loss surgeries. Bottom line - it isn't how much you can eat - it is how little you can eat."
yeah that drink sounds great but the carbs and sugars alone would zap someone that has had this surgery. and if it doesnt it should lol
there are a lot of things out there that sound to good to be true and when you really look at them , they are. best advise read labels...it takes twice as long as it use to go grocery shoping now ...but it is worth it in the long run.
hope to see you back each and every month. remember move those arms .....
