I used pre mixed Isopure from GNC before and have been using Celebrate since surgery.

Lost almost 20 pounds on pre.

Isopure was 160 cal for 20 oz bottle 40g Protein and met all other requirements.

I did NOT like the orange one though the rest I could do. I hate Protein Drinks and didn't have to force these down after my 2nd drink

I still use the whey Extreme in chocolate from Walmart. It is 14.99 per tub and has many different flavors. Cookies and crème is okay also. I mix mine with FF skim milk and drink one every morning. It is also yummy if you put in freezer and freeze til a slush like consistency or in my vitamixer and make me a wendys frosty. I love the taste. It is 28 grams per scoop plus the milk Protein. I love knowing I am getting a leg up if you will on my daily protein. And like I said, I really like the chocolate taste.

I add Decaf instant coffee and peppermint extract to the chocolate and it becomes a very thick shake. I only drink chocolate, Body Fortress, with 8 oz skim milk and use tons of ice. I have a small blender that us also a drinking container

I bought a lot of different flavors so I could mix it up during the day. Also Amazon carries Protein Soups which are pretty good too. I figured I would be doing these after me surgery and the day after fills so if I don't finish them all pre surgery I have them for after! I'm having my surgery 6/20!

Awesome yes! I was a little shocked yesterday when my surgeons office called for me to get ...yet one more blood test. The nurse then told me my insurance had still not certified the surgery? I'm trying to be positive but I feel like I can't take a deep breathe until I know it's been confirmed. I had no idea they could give you a surgery date with out insurance approval?

        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
