I am so disappointed!!!

I agree on the clothing issue.  I like Propel Zero but sometimes my mouth gets tired of that tart aftertaste.  I have found that if I add about a quarter cup of unsweetened concord grape-cranberry juice to the propel (24oz size) and it is delish.  I also have added lemon juice or lime juice and a packette of artificial sweetner to plain bottled water for a sort of lemonade.  I'm going to try some unsweetened apple juice to some Crystal light.  I get so tired of the after taste of so many of those diet products.

Have you tryed this drink it is called proti 15 cold drink with 15 protein in them. They taste like koolaid. This is the only drink I can drink with out getting sick. My doctors office sells them. They cost me 10 dollars for a week of them. I know they cost money but I love them.

My favorite drink post op is Powerade ZERO - Especially the blue (Berry) and the purple (Grape) but they are all pretty good to me and it is pretty darn cheap! I found them at King Soopers/Kroger for .49 cents last week for a 32 oz bottle. I usually go through 2 a day for. If they are not on sale, they are usually 10/$10. I really like the G2 Gatorade as well, but it actually has SOME real sugar. Just re-stocked this evening 12 for $12!

These are what I drink as well. However, I will take one to work with me, and when it empty I fill it with water and add ONE packet of the Hawaiian Punch LemonBerry Squeeze to the whole bottle. I do NOT like Hawaiian Punch AT ALL...I don't even like 'fruit punch' flavored kool-aid, but this is PERFECT. Technically, two little packets should go in the 32oz bottle, but I truly think that would be nasty. The bast part for me is once I have two bottles down....that's 64 oz of fluids! Yay, me!

amen on the large sized clothing. i still remember having to get that crap. and it was always made of rayon or polyester. might as well have come with a heating unit installed. never any more cool natural fabrics.
don't use any of the diet drinks other than the barriatric protein drinks but i do like unsweetened iced tea and a while back some places stopped offering unsweetened iced tea! many years ago i traveled in asia and often got iced tea but always had to make a big deal to get it with no sugar. they thought i was nuts!   Diane

Haha, great post. ESP with the plus size clothing, eww.


Have you tried diet snapple? It's the only thing I drink besides water.

Amen Sass!!  Why does artificial sweetner have to be so artificial tasting?!  I feel like I am drinking a chemical and well..I think I am.  I have found I like the Hawaiian punch packets too. Doesn't taste artificial to me at all. Taste like kool-aid.  Grape and Lemon Berry are my fav.  Protein drinks...UCK!!  I was never able to find one that I could tolerate other than hot chocolate that my doc's office sells.  Does protein really tast that bad or do they make it taste terrible?

Plus size clothing... Why can't they make something stylish?  Lane Bryant does pretty good with most things, but I was still left looking at regular clothing sizes with envy. And lately I have been in the mood to buy some sexy flattering clothes and am having no luck.  Just too matronly. And what is it with the necklines?! Like someone said, do they think my head is plus sized too?  If I stand perfectly still it looks good, but the minute I move things shift!  I always thought there should be a drive it before you buy it with my clothes because things would look cute in the store and then I would wear them to work and I was constantly pulling and tugging.

Okay, now you have me ranting and it feels good! :)

I hate most diet drinks too- wawa diet tea is my exception, but Lipton makes an unsweetened tea.. I hav found it everywhere. It's under their pure leaf label.. As for clothes... Heck I gotta admit I MISSED torrid when I got too small to shop there. There are cute clothes for big girls, we just had to look harder for them... Breathe girlie, breathe.. Woosa! Lo.

 Here'a another Amen Sistah for you! I haven't done the drinks yet but I'm so with you on the plus-size clothes. It's like the all buy from Omar the tentmaker and his Bedazzler. And why on God's green earth do they use regular size models for their stupid catalogs? Yeah, well if the clothes would actually look like that on me then i would buy them all. But when i get them they still look like tents and fall off my shoulders. Sheesh!
