I use syntax nectar premier shakes.

Like fish, chicken

Occasional red meat

fruit

Yogurt

Tea coffee Water

Don't like

Sweets

bread

Pasta

Cutting out slider foods

popcorn

My biggest mistake is when I was cleared to eat all foods I did and didn't understand the importance of Protein dense foods. Which my weight to me. Was slower.

Good luck

When I got my lapband the nutritionist I saw suggested dairy to help with skin so that's an easy way for me to remember

Hello Sisters

I gave tried that Protein shot fruit punch~ omg it was horrible. I felt sick the rest on the morning. I only drank half of it. I prefer Chike! it comes in various flavors~ Very vanilla, strawberry Burst and banana Magic each contain 28 grams of protein. I mix it with 8oz. of skim milk shake it up, sometimes I place it in the freezer to make it colder. It's almost like a thin malt.

I tried the grape one and I found it to be tolerable. I am glad to have them because getting down 70 grams of Protein is still hard for me and my surgery date wad 6.10.13.

      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.
