Hello Everyone,

My name is Kathy and i had the Vertical Sleeve Gasrectomy on May 21st, I am wondering what types of Protein is best to use because the one i bought doesn't really taste great and I would much rather not have to mix anything...Is there something pre-mixed that any of you can recommend? Other than that i feel pretty good i have been walking around with no problem...I walk up and down my street a few times a day....I look forward to chatting with all of you and good luck on your journey to a healthy life...

Hi there sleeve sister! Also sleeved may 21. For powders, I'm really liking the fruity ones from Syntrax Nectar. Added to Water it's more like juice and has over 20g of Protein in a scoop. For pre mixed, I do Isopure zero carb in alpine punch. But not everyone enjoys them. You can buy individual ones at Vitamin Shoppe if you want to try. Also chocolate EAS Advantedge from Sams Club. Good luck!

Congrats Kathy! The 'ready to drink' drinks that I have tried are very sweet so I mix in a little milk or coffee with milk. PureProtein, Myoplex Light and MuscleMilk Light are not bad. I usually mix my own drinks with a chocolate, vanilla or unflavored Protein Powder. Most of them are good. I just didn't like Syntrax Nectar despite all of the rave reviews! Good luck!! :)

Congrats!! I really enjoy the EAS chocolate fudge Protein Shakes that have 42g of Protein. They are a little high in carbs but I get half of what I need in the bottle. Good luck!!

Isopure is a clear beverage. No mixing required, comes in 20 oz bottles that have 40grams of Protein. They are available at GNC

I like the cytosport whey Protein clear drink in the tropical flavor. Its an already mixed clear drink more like a juice. Its 0 carbs, 0 calories and 32g protein. It kind of reminds me of a margarita. I get it at the Vitamin Shoppe

I love the Isopure powders...you have to mix with Water but they mix really easily (I just shake them in a covered cup). I love the chocolate, Cookies and creme and mint chocolate chip. I buy mine on Amazon.com

Hello~

I really, really like Oh Yeah chocolate milkshake flavor. You can buy the RTD or powder and it is delicious. I get mine from Netrition or Amazon. I also use unjury unflavored to add to food or drinks.

        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.

      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
