Look at Click, it has espresso in it which I like. Not sure if you can have it in the pre op diet though, my doctor was ok with the caffine. Pre-op I mostly stayed on the Bariatric Advantage shakes as they are thicker and the Fiber in them made me feel fuller than other shakes I have since tried

EAS (Lean Version) also has a low calorie Protein powder I recently picked up from Target that had some Fiber.< /p>

The "gold standard" Protein for bariatric patients is "whey isolate protein", because it has all of the amino acids we need for proper nutrition on a bandster diet.

I have used the Wheybolic Extreme from GNC from the beginning of my journey. I'm sensitive to chemical tastes and aftertaste, and actually like these shakes in both the chocolate and Cookies 'n cream flavors.

As per my surgeon, each shake should provide you with a minimum of 20g of protein. The GNC powder (1.5 scoops) mixed with 8oz of 1% milk provides 37g of protein.

Get in the habit of reading the nutrition labels to make certain you know what ingredients are in the food you eat, and also if they provide the nutrition you need.

I really like the Unjury strawberry Sorbet mixed with light lemonade because it is nice and thin. Once the Protein dissolves it is just like strawberry lemonade. I also like to use bipro plain whey protein in my iced lattes in the morning. I don't even notice the Protein Powder anymore. I'm also a HUGE fan of the Unjury chocolate splendor. Sometimes I blend in a little Peanut Butter and its delicious! You can order both brands online.

Unjury tastes great. They are whey based which is milk Protein. They can all be mixed with non fat milk if you like. I mix the strawberry with light lemonade (I bet if mixed with milk it would taste like strawberry milk yum!) and the chocolate with milk. They aren't thick and they taste great!

        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
