Nancy' date=' the Protein shake I am using is close, but the nutritionist said it was fine for both pre and post op. It has 6g carbs and 4g sugar. She said the extra gram of carb is fine. I use Nitro-Peak whey Protein by Inner Armour. I get it at Vitamin World, but I found that the one I order from Vitamin World online tastes better than when I buy the same product in the store. I can't imagine why they would taste different, but they do...weird. unjury makes yummy Protein Powder that fits the bill. You can go online to Unjury.com and order samples to see what you like. Chike makes yummy protein shakes too, Chike.com you can order samples. The other brand I have not tried, but comes highly recommended is nectar. You can also get samples to try their flavors. If you like fruity drinks, then nectar has many that mix up with Water to be like Kool-aid. I would go the sample route (I don't think you can get samples of Nitro Peak) unless you know that you like Protein Shakes. We have been drinking them on and off in my house for years so I already knew I liked that one. But if you are not sure, 40 is a lot to spend in the event that you hate it![/quote']

Wow, thanks Tracy for all the great advice! Just found the Unjury starter kit. Going to give it a try. Going to need something for the aftermath even if I don't go on the pre-surgery liquid diet. Here I thought my grocery bill would go down after the surgery! Lol. Thanks again!

Sorry for that posting twice. My phone went all weird on me & I couldn't find my reply so I did it again. :-)

I am scheduled for the 4th in Dallas! So far I love Dr. Kim & his entire staff! They are so great!!

Dr. Kim and staff are great. As far as DFW surgeons go he is top shelf. Good look with your surgery, you having it at forrest park? That facility is great. I'm starting week 4 post-op, if you have any questions feel free to ask me anything.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
