I like Unjury flavorless to add to things like Crystal Light, puddings, and yogurt.

I have also used Arbonne and like it but I'm not sure of their Protein make-up so there

might be better ones available.

The easiest shake for me after I was banded or had fills was 1 cup of Water or soy milk,

plus 1 scoop chocolate whey Protein Powder blended with a frozen banana.< /p>

Starting to research Protein shakes, supplements...need advice...i already tried Bariatric Advantage and hated it....any ideas suggestions...

Yes, I hated BA shakes too.. SO GLAD I didn't order a lot of them! There are many messages about shakes, many people try samples from the Vita Lady. (Look in the regular VSG section of this forum)

I don't tolerate Splenda or sucralose that well (it creates a sickinly sweet taste in my mouth that will last 1-2 hours or so after or drinking.) Qivana’s METABOLIQ is made with Steveia and tastes the best! 251.609.5408 is a local distrubuter or you can find someone in your area who does Qivana. I vote these for best taste, although the calorie/protien ratio (I think it is like 200 cal/15 grams of protien) is not as good as the following VHT shakes:

But I did find I like these shakes BEST FOR ON THE GO..

VHT Extreme smoothie vanilla Cream, chocolate or strawberry. Cheapest place to get them http://www.vitacost.com/productResults.aspx?ss=1&previousText=vita&Ntk=products&Ntt=extreme%20smoothie

Your doctor may also let you use greek yogurt blended or cottage cheese.. I like Fage at Publix.. it has 120 calories & 20 grams of protien for a cup! Also some doctors will let you get protien Soups.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
