I have a question where can you find whey Protein? I am still a pre-op person but want to find a protein that I like before surgery. Any help would be appreciated..

Hi Shyone!

I found mine at GNC. Its their house brand and I really love it.

I only have tried vanilla though.

I am thinking of going back for the unflavored tonight as I want to start mixing it with my Soups.

:crying:

Just a word of caution. Before my surgery, I tried out a lot of shakes and found some that were "tolerable" (I will NEVER like any of them). I stocked up on them since I found some good prices. After surgery, they all made me gag so I am unable to use them. In fact, I'm taking the powders to my Sleeve Support Group tomorrow night just to get it out of my house.

The only one I'm really able to get down is Optimum Nutrition 100% Any Whey Protein which doesn't have a lot of flavor - maybe a hint of vanilla. I mix it in with warm (not hot or it will clump) Swiss Miss Diet Cocoa.

Another option is the unjury chicken Soup. It's a little salty, but I like that.

Good luck finding the Protein of your choice. I know there are several threads out here that show places to order samples and such.

go to the food section of this board and look for a thread called places to order samples. I would not get a big tub of anything.

There are so many people who like something okay before surgery and can't gag it down after surgery.

I really like PVL whey Gourmet that you get from Netrition.com.

I also really like BSN Lean Dessert Fudge pudding. I get that at vitacost.com

You need to try samples first though!

You can find it at GNC (but they are very expensive) or at costco, or at Sam's Club, also at Walmart. . . much more reasonable priced. . . .be warned though, what you may like now, you may not like after your surgery. . I would wait til you have your surgery, you can't really have the Protein shakes right off anyhow so just hold off for now. . . just a suggestion

Thank you for the great advise. You are right because right now I am pre-op and what I like or eat now I may not be able to eat after surgery. I sure don't want to waist money on a ton of tubs of Protein that I will end up throwing away or giving away. Again thank you for the adivse.

Hey Mini-Me,

Before you get rid of all that Protein powder, you might want to try out Eggface's site and try to use them in recipes like she does. Heck, she uses them to make Protein ice cream, cakes, Cookies, all sorts of things.

If you like to cook you might get some real innovative ideas to use up your investment! Also, I stored mine in the fridge, not sure it made a difference in keeping it fresh but I figured it couldn't hurt.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
