CONGRATS ON THE LOSS! How's the taste? Tolerable? Do you exercise?

I haven't exercised while I was on the liquid diet I've been really busy working extra hours and gettin things set up for my leave.... my job is very physical so I guess that plays a part. The muscle milk lite is really good actually it's surprisingly sweet and doesn't have that yucky artificial sweetener taste. The slim fast low carb however wasn't the best lol I got chocolate and vanilla..it wasn't horrible but you can definitely tell its low carb and low sugar it leaves a bit of a after taste in your mouth but it was drinkable!

I mix my muscle milk lite with 8 ounces of skim milk instead of the Water so it's one scoop per 8 ounces of milk and that is 190 calories

I drink 2 muscle milk shakes and 2 slim fast low carbs a day no order

Thanks for doing this post. I have only been to my first appointment with my surgeon, so I still don't know how many hoops I will have to jump through for my insurance. I have been trying to decide which would be the best shakes to try because I can't have chocolate or caffiene. I wish you ladies the best of luck!

My surgery date is 5-14, I am using Bariatric Advantage shakes they taste good for the most part. My problem is I have really bad cravings two weeks of this is gonna suck but the payoff will be awesome.

I HAD TO SEE: PULMONOLOGIST, CARDIOLOGIST, UPPER GI X-RAY, CHEST X-RAY, NUTRITIONIST, sleep APNEA TEST, QUIT SMOKING, PROVIDE 5 YEARS HISTORY O WEIGHT PROBLEMS, AND LOST 10-15lbs! I BELIEVE MOST OF THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR MY SURGEON, BUT I DID IT! MY INSURANCE APPROVED IN A WEEK

The best high Protein Shake I have found by far is Lean Body on the Go Bananas and Cream- no aftertaste at all.

I was not required to do the liquid diet either (just low fat) but I did decide to do it for a week prior to surgery. I had two Protein Shakes, two Greek yogurts, and one Quest Protein Bar a day. It was good practice for after and helped get some more weight off.

My spouse likes the muscle milk, but I didn't care for the taste. I prefer Boost high Protein rich chocolate. Get variety packs of Jello. The same flavor will get old quickly, plus you will need to have some stocked for the day after a fill, etc. As far as Soups, buy a fine strainer and strain soups. It has a much better flavor than plain boullion cubes. Just watch the sodium! Good luck!

      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.
