I know I'm not post-op yet, but I've been trying to go high Protein for a while now, and one of my fave ways to get some extra in in the morning is an omelette made with 4 large egg whites and about 1/2 of a yolk. I add 1/4 cup of fat-free shredded cheddar to it too. 25g of Protein and very satisfying.

I like the Optimum Nutrition 100% whey Protein in the vanilla Ice Cream flavor, mixed with 1 cup of Soy Slender vanilla flavor soymilk. I also tend to add in about a tablespoon of Benefiber. This powder's not bad just mixed with Water, but it's really pretty creamy and tasty when mixed with the Soy Slender. 30g of protein total. :thumbup:

The last several weeks of doing this whole low-carb/high-protein thing haven't been easy, but I feel very prepared for post-op dieting. And, it's been awesome for my pre-surgery weight loss. I haven't weighed since my last appointment on April 7, but I'm pretty sure I've dropped close to another 10 since then (the weight on my ticker). :thumbup:

Walmart has a Protein Powder that has 52 gram of Protein in one shake (double scoop). I usually have one of those for Breakfast and then i don't really have to worry about my protein intake for the rest of the day. I average around 80-95 grams a day.

I had my two-week post-surgery appointment yesterday and was approved to move on to soft foods. Being a vegetarian, Protein is really important for me. They had a great idea--put a scoop or two of unflavored protein (I like Unjury a lot) in a shaker jar (like the kind they use for powdered sugar or parm cheese at a pizza place) and just sprinkle the protein on everything you eat throughout the day. Make a point to finish the shaker by the end of the day, and you've added 20 or 40 g of protein without doing anything else. When you shake it on like that, you really can't taste it or notice it at all...that, or I'm just so happy to have soft food again that I don't care!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
