eat more lean Protein (and or drink a shake per day to help up the quota) which is what i do in the a.m.'s as i am not hungry and too tight to eat in the mornings...

go the web, look up high Protein foods and choose what you like. that is what i did (and my nutritionist gave me a list of items also).

hope this helps.

I still can't make my quota when it comes to Protein, honestly my tracker indicates I am getting in just about 38 grams of Protein on good days. I look back on how I dealt with protein pretty much all my life and honestly, I was barely getting in 25 grams a day. Since I track what I eat I am more aware and strive harder to eat more protein, while its still a task...

BTW, I can't do Protein shakes since sugery because of my continuous acid reflux issues that seems to be triggered by the protein powders. So, I soley depend on regular food for all my protein intake at this point.

Isopure zero carb beverage it's not a shake it's like crystal light. I get it at GNC but you can get it on Amazon too. It has 40 gms whey isolate Protein. Saves me.

I agree with skyvic, I've used the Isopure ready to drink bottles since day 1. They have variety of favors. I use them to supplement during the day at work or after a good workout.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
