I didn't find much I liked. I used clear Isopure 40gm drinks from GNC. One a day at 4 bucks each was still less than my old fast food budget.

If you want protien powder I suggest cuppacino. I look forward to drinking those...well at least they taste good.

Glad you are trying to keep up your Protein up.

Pre op I enjoyed the Muscle Milk Lights and EAS ready to drink. Post Op, I have enjoyed Unjury. I know netrition.com has a sample pack which is reasonable & allows you to try a variety of different brands. I was lucky & the Unjury my NUT recommended worked fine for me, but I have seen posts were others have not been very lucky with their shakes. Good luck & congratulations!!!

Currently, I am using "Silk Milk (Vanilla)," in which I add the Carnation Breakfast Essentials & then I add a scoop of the whey Protein Powder (Vanilla) from GNC. It makes a great drink and a good source of Protein.< /p>

I dont really like any of the powders. I can tollerate the pre mixed stuff better, but not much. I prefer just to buy the Protein shots(hate the taste too) but I can chug them down fast and my protein is done. 27 g a shot. good luck

Thank u I don't think I like the powders either! I can't take a second swallow the pre mixed lean shake from GNC is not the best but, I can take more than one swallow. I heard about the Protein Shots I wanted to try it but, I also seen somewhere on this forum where they didn't really have anything good to say about the protein shots so I avoided it but, I'm trying my best to find something I can tolerate I just got some protein Jello from GNC it has 21 or 23 grams of protein I'm gonna try that too

I've heard good things about the Syntrax Nectar flavors- I've yet to try them (I'm pre op) but I'm gonna order a sample pack to see what I like but I hear they are good. I like sweet things (some people have said they are too sweet) but I think I'll like it. I've tried the optimum nutrition gold standard before and it wasn't so bad. Good luck! I've been researching Protein like crazy too to find something good! They also told me to do Isopure but from what I've heard its gross so I don't think I'll be trying it- maybe the clear ones but not the shakes.< /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.

      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
