Not sure about the Atkins ones. You may want to type it in. My doctor gave me a list of pre op shakes that i can choose from.....it wasn't on the list. Not sure why. Seems like everyones pre op instructions are different, if they even have ANY LOL

I'm a fan of Premier Protein drinks myself. I also like their bars for Meal Replacements once you're back on solid foods. Most of the other RTD Protein Shakes I've tried have a funky aftertaste. As I get farther out from surgery, though, that aftertaste doesn't bother me as badly. I didn't like the taste of diet soda or beer the first time I tried them either, but I got used to them. I guess it's the same principle.

I liked the RTD muscle milk banana cream and cake batter flavors. You can get them at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC or places like Walmart and the grocery store. I am not into chocolate so that was not an option for me. My sister likes them too.

One of the best ones that I have tried is Pure Protein 100% whey Protein Frosty chocolate. They have big jugs of it, it has 25gm of Protein. You can purchase it at Target and a few other chains. I use the magic bullet to mix it and it doesn't taste bad.

My doctor set us up with something called New Directions and gave us 42 individual packets of things, with variety and it was $200.00 for the 14 days of it, but I really like the Pure Protein 100% whey Frosty chocolate.< /p>

        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
