I wouldn't bother. I was there for about 5 minutes...asked a few questions that I really could have asked via email, and actually, when she took the stitch out, she cut a little bit of my skin and made me bleed. Not sure I'd want to make the drive for THAT! lol! I have a fill appointment 2 weeks from now, and another one 2 weeks from then. They fill up pretty fast!<br /><br />As for veggies...I did roast garlic, and let me tell you...lifesaving. A clove or two mixed with some dry fried mushrooms at the last minute...it's like heaven after a few of those shakes! The roasted garlic in moderation is ok, according to the folks at SWLC. So is mixing a couple of blackberries or raspberries into your shakes.Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422010996986937582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-46118660471287677032010-01-28T01:01:36.042-05:002010-01-28T01:01:36.042-05:00GOOD LUCK.. gl gl gl gl gl gl!!!

I tried to jazz things up with some sugar free syrup from the coffee places...that really helped choke them down. Banana is a good one, if you can find it.Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06422010996986937582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-21403961895858016732010-01-27T14:39:56.680-05:002010-01-27T14:39:56.680-05:00Good luck on your journey!Good luck on your journey!Jen from Oregonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847241485437289347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-55935715364167388882010-01-27T13:41:19.344-05:002010-01-27T13:41:19.344-05:00I'm half way through my third week of drinking...I'm half way through my third week of drinking two protein shakes a day and still don't think they're that bad. I did chocolate and vanilla Pure Protein (35 grams) from Trader Joe's for pre-op but my surgeon's office requires Isopure for the first month after surgery. It has a little undertone of soap, but for 50 grams of protein per 12 ounces (I do 6 oz 2x per day), not so bad.<br /><br />I don't know if you have Coscto (bulk store) up there but I'm thinking of trying those next. I hear the cost ends up being about a dollar each (US). They only have chocolate though. I'll probably order some unflavored so I can add it to other foods.<br /><br />As I said in my blog, somewhere during the third day of liquid pre-op, I just stopped being hungry. I've never been a big emotional eater so the whole thing wasn't too bad. Just stay busy.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766642418925063957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100636923484642954.post-53189290652490008462010-01-27T11:08:19.824-05:002010-01-27T11:08:19.824-05:00haha!
