right there with you. I bought a couple the other day to try and I do not like them......

I didn't have to do Clear liquids for my pre/post diet. Just liquid, so I could do the protien shakes. I am still struggling to find those that I can take, so I can't offer much help.

I don't know what your sugar requirements are, but I buy the grape frost Isopure and add some countrytime pink lemonade to it to make it tolerable. When you are on full liquids, you can try the sugar free carnation instant Breakfast ready to drink btls and add some unflavored Protein Powder to it, to give it extra Protein.< /p>

Grape frost is my favorite too... You can add a crystal light or other "to go" sugar free packet to it if you need better flavor but can't do the sugar lemonade.

I used Unjury powder and I e-mailed the company to confirm that I could use it during Clear Liquids. They said absolutely as long as it's mixed with a clear liquid - i.e., not milk or Slim Fasts. So you could try that. Let me just say that Unjury's chicken Soup flavored powder is the only thing that got me through my clear liquids phase (which seems so far away, but was only four weeks ago). It tastes just as good as your favorite canned soup and it's a godsend when you're sick of sweet drinks! I added Tabasco and lime juice to mine when I got bored with it straight and it really, really helped. You just have to mind the sodium.

I think the Protein shots are too sweet and syrupy so I mix only half of the shot in a bottle of Water and make it into a kool-aid and I usually mix in whatever sugar free packet drink mix that will compliment it like fruit punch with the fruit punch, grape with the grape, it is so much better.

You put the other half in the fridge until your ready for it. I pretty much leave mine there.

Thank u all for the suggestions. I never thought about mixing or diluting them. I will try that and the unjury.

Thanks again,

Celeste

      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.
