pre-op induction drink? Do you mean the Protein shakes? I like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein, and truth be told, I'm really drinking a lot of carnation instant Breakfast.

The other big huge thing of whey protein I bought from Wal- Mart (I think it's six star or something, black and red) I really don't like.

It's all a taste to you thing- the thing I liked about Unjury is they have a sample packet that is pretty inexpensive, and it has 2 chocolate, 2 vanilla, 2 strawberry, 2 chicken broth and 2 unflavored- to try. And I think they're one of the only places that have unflavored, so you can add it to something.

Hope this helps and it's what you meant, LOL. I'm on the pre-op diet right now- surgery on Thursday- already lost 8 lbs!

I went to health store and bought several single serve Protein mica to try it was costly that way but I didn't end up buying a large tub of something I hated. I like NOW it has high protein I have chocolate and no flavor that I add small amt to scrabble eggs Soup ect.

I like the Protein Shakes from costco, they have 30g of Protein per shake and cost about $25 for 18 shakes

Right on! Premier Protein...tastes great and 30 grams is a lot for only 160calories...I have been banded 2.5 years, and I drink one every morning!

Hey Murfbe,

I am going to try the unjury 'unflavored' powder that you can add to pretty much any of the foods to help get in that Protein. As everyone has stated, it really is going to be according to what YOU like. I am doing the Bariatric Advantage banana flavored Meal Replacement shakes. I like to add some fruit to this and to me it taste great! However, I am getting really tired of the shakes and need something more 'clear'.

I am just testing everything before surgery so I know what to buy before hand and I want to be prepared and ready.

Here is the link to try Unjury, I beleive you can buy the single packets to sample..

I like the chocolate "Unjury" shake. I tried a couple different ones from GNC and thought they were way over priced and couldn't tolerate them much to be honest.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
