17 May is the Day need some Help



Recommended Posts

Ok, 42 full, figured metabolically challenged male. Tired of the Medication, fat jokes and all the other BS.

I decided that this was right for me, TRICARE (Insurance) will pay all but 116.00. Good to go.

Couple of question that I have. I have started the Protein Powder drinks in the morning and afternoon (Doctor said to about 2+ weeks).:thumbdown: I have been mixing mine with v-fusion, still taste like road kill. What do you mix with it? Tried Water, milk but it just is wrong.

My wife is supporting me and what needs to be done. Just how long on the water/liquid diet. Cravings? Depressed after? I am a easy going nothing fazes me. Just want to get off on the right foot and do it right the first time. Thank for the help.

I'm getting banded May 17th also. I started my my pre-op diet today, what kind of Protein are you taking? I use platinum hydrowhey and put it in either skim milk or almond milk (almond milk has less carbs so I try to stick with that. The Protein i use is really good, esp the vanilla.

Try blending your shakes with some ice in the blender, maybe some splenda if its not sweet enough? Are you allowed to have some fruit, or yogurt, or NATURAL Peanut Butter? Try throwing those in the blender with it if your allowed to once in a while.

So far I have had two shakes and some zero gatorade. Im not hungry but I do want to just chew on something! Good Luck, remember what your doing this for!

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