I really like the Matrix 2.0 Protein Shakes from Vitamin Shoppe. They are 110 calories and 23 g of Protein. The chocolate and strawberry are really good, but I'm not much of a fan of the Cookies and cream. I didn't start my protein shakes until about 4 1/2 months into my surgery, but I can definitely tell the difference they make! I'll definitely have to try out these Premier Protein shakes from Sams though too!

Are you taking all your Vitamins? Remember to take your Calcium and Iron 2 hours apart. Whenever you feel weak or light headed make sure you get something into your system immediately. You may ask your dr to run a glucose test.

My nut gave me a high Protein pudding recipe that is really good. (1/2 cup serving)

1 box fat free, sugar free chocolate instant pudding mix

1 16oz container nonfat cottage cheese

1 12oz container fat free cool whip

1 scoop chocolate Protein powder

4 TB skim milk

Can you give me the recipe for the Protein ice cream? Sounds good!

I really like the chocolate flavored Muscle Milk...either the regular formula, or the "lite" (which has no sugar). I am also a huge fan of the Unjury chicken broth flavored Protein Powder. Just be sure the Water you're mixing it into isn't hotter than 130 degree F!! The unflavored Unjury Protein powder mixes well, in both warm and cold things (again....nothing hotter than 130 degrees F), and doesn't ruin the flavor. I didn't care for the chocolate flavored Unjury powder....it was way too sweet for my current taste. One of my favorite "experiments"...two cans of Manischevitz chicken consommé, two cans of water, and one can of Campbell's cream of chicken with herbs mixed in...strain as much as you want to drink into a travel mug (to help keep it warm long enough to drink it all), and add 1/2 a scoop of Unjury unflavored protein (yields 10grams of protein). This is a very flavorful chicken "broth", with a slightly creamy consistency, low calorie, low fat, low carb, and high protein!! Best of luck to you!

        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
