I ordered the sample pack from Unjury (unjury.com) It came with a chicken broth flavored Protein, not too bad and a change from the shakes. They also include chocolate, unflavored and strawberry. I bought Muscle Milk Light, Adkins and EAS. They all taste about the same. I can't wait until next week to add some yogurt and milk as another way to get protein in. I'm not hitting anything close to 60.

I'm getting more liquids in than I was. I'm sipping more broth and apple juice. I'm just tired of shakes but still trying to drink them

hi

I was banded yesterday and stayed overnight. Came home a few hours ago. I have to say, I feel really good. Today was my first day of being able to drink stuff. I had the swallow test this morning and then was able to start drinking Water, then Ensure. I can't get over how good I feel. I have been walking 30 minute stretches 3-4 times a day. really excited!

My sugery is scheduled for Nov 16! Very excited, but a little nervous. Today is the first day of the second week of the preop diet. Mine seems kinda strict from some of the others ive seen on here. The first week, two Protein Shakes and a bowl of Soup. The second week two Protein shakes and a bowl of blended soup. Anxious to begin this new chapter of my life!!

I was banded on the 6th. It has gone pretty ok. Still have some incision pain but it's manageable. Glad to join this group!

      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
