Help! Today is my first day of pre op diet. Holy cow, this is going to be a loooooong 2 weeks! I'm not loving the Protein Shakes I bought (Muscle Milk). Wondering what others have gotten that they've liked and where they bought them. Thanks for any and all help!

Since I live overseas and don't have access to costco, I have ordered all of my shakes and Soups from Diet Direct online. I am using the BariWise brand. All of the shakes, clear broths and cream soups have 15 grams of Protein per serving. It's free shipping over $49 and you also accumulate that come off your next order. I plan on using these pre op and post op.

I like the GNC Total Lean pre-made shakes in chocolate and vanilla. I used to like the strawberry, but they're too sweet now =\

Thank you! Sounds like the one at costco is good. I will go to GNC and Costco and try both these recommendations. I really appreciate it!

I plan to use Unjury, my hubby loves it, ESP the chocolate splendor, he puts a scoop in the bullet w/ice and his milk and it makes a nice shake. He is a kidney pt and needs the Protein, so we' ll be doing well together making these shakes. I also have ordered the chicken broth from unjury as well.

I really like the Pure Protein ready made shakes in the frosty chocolate flavor. Walmart has them in the 23 grams of protein and Trader Joes in the 35 grams!

I am doing Optifast but its super expensive. I attend a group every month and they all suggest Lean Body from anyplace like GNC or even Amazon. Whats great is you can get a powder if you need to travel post - op

      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.
