I found some Protein drinks at Walmart that some of u might be interested in.

I think they were 1.88 a piece

I've only tried the purple one and it not the most fabulous smoothie ever. But it's tolerable and seeing how my stomach is very sensitive thats important.

It contains 30 grams of Protein a bottle so thought I should share.

Ok they vary and I'm new to this..

Never been one to look at labels.

The front says no sugar added

Ok then I go to nutrition facts on back

Sugars 28g

That bad?

I try to stay under 6g of sugar per serving. If it is the only sugary thing you have all day, it isn't so bad, but it can be a problem if you make them a regular part of your diet.

LOL it depends what bad is okay if is 1 serving then for me has to be less then 15 grams. The goal after the surgery is to keep the sugar low.

I have a lot to learn....

My diets in the past were one meal a day and hrs and hrs of exercise. Always worked.

Now I'm 32, w a 5 yr old and a full time job.

Hours of exercise just isnt realistic anymore.

Time to learn nutrition do's and don'ts

My NUT said to look at the nutrition facts and ingredients. If it has more than 2 grams of sugar but is NOT one of the first five listed ingredients then it's naturally occurring sugar, therefore okay. But like BBQ Sauce for example, first ingredient is high fructose corn syrup..immediate no no. Because its added sugar. But dole 100% juice fruit cup doesn't list sugar in the first 5 ingredients so it's okay. Does that make sense? And of course watch the sugar consumption, but natural sugars in fruits/veggies is better than extra added sugar to things.

My Wal-Mart has the New Whey Protein Shots with 42g Protein 0 sugar for a good price. I bought a 6-pack for about $10 to stock up since my surgery is coming up pretty soon. I had one before and they're not bad, but I think I'm going to break them up into 2 servings because I was told the body can only really process 30g at a time.

Those shots are no good for post sleeve. We need 100% whey Protein. Collegen protein and soy protein aren't good sources.

Those are not really good. If your going to look at Walmart look in the dietary supplements section. That is where you would find more appropriate Protein.< /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
