I just tried and really enjoy a Protein Shake called ProJoe. I found it on the Bariatric Advantage website. 20 g of Protein. I have only tried the Chai but it's got a coffee vibe that gets me thru the day!

I eat greek yogurt with a scoop of vanilla Protein and two tsp of Fiber for Breakfast. Gives me some protein and fiber and tastes wonderful.

I use one scoop of Chike (chocolate) and one scoop of Click. It is just the right amount of sweet/coffee/caffeine/protein.

I start my day off with a Protein hot cocoa: 1c. almond milk heated to quite warm (not HOT - that will make the protein clump), add 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa (I like Ghirardelli), a generous dash of salt, and 1 scoop of chocolate Protein Powder (I use Unjury). Thin with hot Water to taste. Usually I have my coffee afterwards, but sometimes I mix in a half packet of Starbucks Via.

I'm also pretty partial to the Click Mocha, though I prefer that made into soft-serve for an afternoon or evening treat.

I put 4 oz of almond milk, 4 oz of 50 calorie lite orange juice, 1 scoop Simply Right vanilla Protein powder, 1 tsp orange metamucil, 1 tsp splenda..It taste like an orange dreamcicle. I also use vanilla protein powder in my coffee like creamer!

Yep - I said salt. Salt can help enhance sweet flavors, just as you put salt in sweet baked goods, or... think about salted caramel which is all the rage these days. To me, it helps balance the over-sweet taste of a lot of Protein powders.< /p>

coffee is an addiction..... it was the first thing I thought about after the surgery.... will I be able to drink it..... I tried but it tasted awful.... and I couldn't go through my days without caffeine.... so now, 3 months post op, I can drink half a mug.... looked for skimmed powdered milk, and found it.... for protein.... it's better than Creamer of course.... doesn't taste wonderful but it will do....

8 oz skim milk, 1 keurig cup Caramel Vanilla Green Mountain coffee (makes about 8oz) cooled in fridge (make it night before), 1 tablespoon of Torani sugar free Caramel Syrup, 1 scoop Vanilla Protein, Ice Cubes. MIX. Tastes like Starbucks, I swear, with no guilt. 32 grams of protein. And takes me about half the am to drink.

I brew my coffee then in a Blender Bottle I blend 1/2 cup skim milk, a few vanilla stevia drops and SF vanilla creamer with a scoop of vanilla Protein. I mix everything but the coffee in my blender bottle then slowly pour the hot coffee inside (so it doesn't clump) sounds like a lot of vanilla, but that's how I like it ;)

I see a lot of posts about Torani sugar free Syrup. Is that something I can find in a grocery store or online?

        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
