Agree with the Premier Protein. Vanilla is good cause you can use different SF Flavors do change it up. GNC go lean is good also.

I really liked GNC Lean shakes before surgery but after surgery my lil sleeve couldn't tolerate them. I LOVE Premier Protein RTD (ready to drink). chocolate is my favorite. It tastes like a frosty especially if you blend it with ice. Vanilla has a good flavor but has a gritty texture to it. I haven't found the strawberry one yet. I'm 8 months out and I've tried a lot of different shakes Premier is the only one I still drink.

I feel like a little liar. The cleaning lady in our my building stop me and asked me what did I do. And I Pretended like I did not know what she was talking about. She said you loss a lot of weight. What did you do? And I lied and said eating different and a lot of exercise.

That's not really a lie. You are eating differently and exercising. Frame your success however you would like. WLS is a tool that you have. It is not the end all to be all. Congratulations on your success!

It's not a lie though. I've been sweating my ass off in the gym and counting calories like a fiend. I know all of you guys have been too! So I am eating differently and working out. Yes, I had surgery, but it is not the only thing I've done to lose weight.

Hi, I have a question for post - op I'm having my surgery on 7/3/14 and I'm due to start my summer session in college. Do anyone think that would be a bad idea. I have heard of people going back to work in a week. I figured I took two weeks off work and my class is only 2 days a week so I can recuperate the rest of the time I'm not at work. A couple of family members been saying I'm doing to much and now I'm second guessing myself please give me an advise you can thanks

      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.
