I hate milk also....my Doctor recommends a drink called Isopure zero carb. 160 calories and 40g of protein.....they sell it at GNC or different places online. Alpine punch isn't too bad.

I don't like fruity drinks so I'm not sure which ones are good but I know a bunch of the Protein Drink makers have fruit Protein drinks that are clear, not milky. Unjury also makes a chicken broth Protein Powder which is really yummy. It's like a protein "shake" in Soup form.

The Isopure Zero Carb flavors mix fairly well with Water. I'm not a huge milk fan, but I did like using almond milk instead of dairy milk. less calories, less carbs. Also I found fat free yogurt, and puddings were a great subsitute when mixed in with some water. Just be careful and watch the calories/fat/carbs you are adding into the shakes.< /p>

Thanks for the info, i can handle yogurt and the cottage cheese i will be able to have i just worry about the actual Protein shakes..LOL i can drink a Arby's Milkshake but i think thats why i am where i am... I will swing by GNC today and see the Isopure i see they have pre-mixed in a bottle to drink, i will see the facts and see if it matches the EAS shakes they told me to try and drink during those 2wks

I've tried the Jay Robb Protein Shakes. You can mix with Water, milk, almond milk, yogurt, etc. You can buy it at Kroger or online.

I've also tried the Lean line of products at GNC. They are good too.

I have heard that they have Protein powders that are Unflavored. I plan on trying those in Soups and drinks! Let me know what you find because I am not much of a chocolate, vanilla, strawberry type girl!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
