My day is the 14th. Im going to day for my pre op appt and to meet my surgeon. I started trying some Protein shakes to see which one I would like. So far the Isopure is good. I have been adding some sweet and low and fruit to it and taste alot better. So where are you ladies ?

The best Protein shake in my opinion is "Muscle Milk Lite" it's only 100 calories no sugar lactose free. I've been drinking them for 2yrs & now at work I have at least 12 people hooked on them. You can buy @ Sam's Club by the case. Also they were recommended by my Doctor. Good Luck & much success

I tried the muscle milk light chocolate and like it a lot. I got it at costco. For $4 more than I paid, Amazon will automatically ship to my house and I can cancel at any time.

My surgery is not until De. 19 and I feel like I am getting more and more nervous with this waiting time.

At first it was earlier in the month, and my nut said even though THanksgiving fell during my liquid diet, I could have a small piece of turkey and vegetables (if not in loads of cheese or butter) during the family meal. But I know, all drs and nut give different advice, but maybe you can ask about this, especially if you are not going public with your lap band and you are on the liquid diet on Thanksgiving.

That's funny that you both like the muscle milk, I could barely get it down! I did however order syntax double stuffed cookie and that was great. I also tried the EAS strawberry and that was really good! I'm happy for you both and wish you much success. Good luck tomorrow!

I'm new to this site, but I guess I will be joining you all getting banded in December. Going for my pre-op testing today. Then I have to schedule to meet with surgeon. Then we will schedule surgery day! I'm excited, overwhelmed and relieved. Can't believe this is happening.

      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.
