Celeste- I have been making the Jay Robb shakes. Lots of recipes on the web. Also, if you buy the powder at Vitamin Shoppe you can return it for store credit if you don't like the taste.

Day 3 of pre-op diet. Optifast 900 three times a day plus up to 2 cups of veggies for the whole day. I find it very interesting how pre-op diets vary so much. shakes were provided as part of payment. I was also wondering what a blender ball is all about.

Wow that is a strict pre-op. I am on day 5, south beach phase 1. Guess I am lucky........I would not make it with just liquids.

The blender ball is shaker cup with a stainless steel open ball for blending shakes when your away from home or don't have a blender. It's great.

The Blender Bottle is a Protein mix bottle where you put in the liquid, dump in the powder, and then shake. The little ball blends the powder and you don't get chunks.

I saw Walmart had them for about $7 last time I was there.

We have them Judy I got a shaker type diet drink bottle at woolworths and it has a round springy thing in it that helps blend drink when you shake it Remember the ol tupperware milkshake maker had the thing inserted in the lid to make frothy. Similar concept.

She developed sickness five days after woods and was admitted to the hospital here. Her dr never got to see her... discharged her by phone. She had a job to walk out of the hospital here according to her mum. She died overnight at home. Apparently her stomach had been''nicked'' and her organs went into shutdown. Can you imagine how i feel about all this right now?? sheeeeshhhhhh...!!!!

      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.
