I think I'm going to do premier. Waited to late to order a trial pack of unjury.

Hi, don't know anything about that brand but my doctor recommend infusion bariatric whey powder. Was only just told Tuesday to start drinking Thursday luckily I rushed out to pickup mix wed late afternoon after working double. I was first under the impression regular whey powder would suffice. Sigh, doesn't really matter though yummy flavors even if with just Water still creamy. Start my road to a new life Sept 4 th and waiting for big thumbs up from my physician surgery dates Nov 1 st. So whatever hoops I'll jump !!! : D

I have a surgery date of nov 1. Started in may. Been a long road but I believe it will be worth it. Start my preop diet Monday. It is based on protien and carbs. No counting calories until after.

I have been doing shakes in the morning for like 2 weeks... trying different ones... They haven't made me feel sick at my stomach though.

I ordered a sample box of unjury brand... I've heard they're pretty good. i'll find out tonight when they arrive.

Is your diet - 2 shakes and a sensible dinner? I don't know yet what my pre-op diet will be as i meet with my nutritionist monday.

You excited about the surgery? I'm super excited but scared.

I'm super excited but nervous as well I weigh 250 at 5'2 so I am ready for this next step. I lost 55lbs with workout and weight watchers but still feel hungry.. I'm kinda stressed today so I think that's why my stomachs upset ugh!! I am jus drinking the choc n vanilla from Walmart..I'm hoping I can make it thru this couple of weeks.

If your shakes aren't already prepared try mixing in sugar free Jello, sugar free pudding with a splash of extract almond etc. Or change milk options to almond sugar free, soy if ur lactose intolerant. What works for me is pureed veggies like broccoli couple Tbsp five, 4 oz almond milk, crystal light but really Walmart variety any flavor than ice blend well. Or place your milk variety 4-6 oz in a cup let freeze for a bit than place in blended add Protein powder almond extract a dash than a couple teaspoons of either sugar free Jello / sugar free pudding!! You'll think ur eating a shake

congrats on your success so far. I need the lapband to help me keep it off... I have been successful in the past but haven't ever been able to keep it off. I'm ready for a change.

I think you'll do great. We should help motivate each other since we're on the same surgery date... Lean on each other when it's tough...

I'm Carrie!

      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.
