I went to see the NUT this morning and it turns out I'm not taking the right Vitamins. All thou it says its a Multivitamin it's missing some of the nutrients.

I am 7 weeks out and she told me I should be getting all my Protein from solid food and to stop drinking the shakes. She gave me a meal plan that is so do-able.

She also recommends that if I can't finish my meals to try to eat it within an hour.

She also told me to stay away from oatmeal, and keep the carbs down. I should be eating about 70 gm of protein a day. The only time I should have a shake is at night and only if I didn't get in all my protein.

I am happy with this NUT as I've been seeing her since before I knew I was going to have the sleeve done.

BTW.. I tried the Jennie-o turkey patties that are seasoned and it contains 27 grams of protein. And they are yummy I wrapped it in lettuce.

Those of you still drinking Protein Shakes, what kind do you drink? I'm sick of EAS, don't like the taste of Unjury and muscle milk is disgusting. My NUT said I have to drink Protein shakes for 3-9 months since there is no way to get 70-90 grams of protein in with just food. I just ordered a sample pack of nectar, I hope those taste good.

I use body fortress. I get it from Kmart. 26g protein per scoop. I mix it with my coffee taste like hot cocoa or in my oatmeal or what every. It also curves my chocolate craving once a month. $18.99 and lasts bout 6 weeks :)

I am so over shakes! Instead of shakes, I enjoy a clear ready-to-drink. Try Cytosport whey isolate Protein Drink. It comes in watermelon, tropical & tangerine. 32 gr protein/bottle and only 1 carb. Typically I'll pour 1/2 into an empty bottle then fill both bottles with ice & Water to dilute. Now that I'm getting more & more protein from real food, I usually only drink 1 of the diluted bottles/day (16 gr protein). I'll sip on it and it also counts nicely towards my daily fluids.

I get them at the Vitamin Shoppe (if there's not one near you, you can order on-line - less expensive from Vitamin Shoppe than directly from Cytosport!).

I finally broke my stall. I had been stuck at 25 pounds lost for about 2 weeks. Very frustrating. Well the past few days I have been losing a pound a day. I didn't change anything just kept following the rules. I guess my body finally desided to cooperate. Good luck.

      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. 🤞
