H~E~L~P :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: Ok I'm so darn confused. I have not started seeing a nutritionist yet, they may answer this. But I'm wanting to know which is better, what is the difference between the 2. I have been told that Soy is good for women but that's all I have heard. If you all would be so kind to explain the difference. Thank you in advance for all your help :}

i do soy as the whey Protein gives me bad stomach cramps and goes rite through me. i also sometimes do the hemp protein, its not bad if you like the earthy taste to it and its also very good for you.

Whey Protein is the best Protein supplement for the human body without exception. It is easily digestable & contains all amino acids in the proper amounts. There are several grades of whey. Whey protein isolate is the most preferred, it has more protein per gram than any other.

I do not recommend soy as a primary protein source. It is ok here and there but that's about it. It doesn't contain all amino acids used in the human body, it does however contain all essential amino acids. This for most people wouldn't be a problem, but since we aren't eating a full diet, chances are we are not getting all the nutrients the body needs to manufacture the deficient amino acids. Another thing to consider is soy increases the amount of estrogen in your system, again not typically a problem. But, you are dropping weight. Fat stores estrogen, as the fat melts off, the estrogen is dumped into your bloodstream. Then add to that the boost of estrogen from soy, ummmmm, moody much?

You must have some sort of milk allergy.

I found Dr Mercola's website very informative. The Protein Powder sold there sounded a lot heathier to me than most of the others.

        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
