I'm 2 weeks post op and I'm sick of Protein Shakes. I've tried many and I can't drink them suckers. I'm done! I hate the way they all taste. I'm still on liquid for 2 more weeks. Not sure how I'm gonna get through this stage. I'm barely getting in about 30g of Protein, when I should be at 60g. I'm drinking all my Water and Vitamins though. Im starting to worry. What will happen if I don't get all my Proteins in?

Have you tried the unflavored? If you add it to warm coffee.. Let it sit for a while and heat the coffee back up it isn't detectable..I use flavored coffee (Gloria jean's English toffee) and add some stevia

I was told if you didn't get enough Protein, you would lose your hair and muscle tissue among a list of other things. I was drinking muscle milk's chocolate powdered Protein Shakes and I couldn't take it anymore. I went to costco yesterday and got their Premier Protein ready to drink shakes in chocolate. They are pretty good. To me they taste like really sweet chocolate milk and they have 30g of protein which means I only need two a day.

My nut won't let us use the premier shakes because it's not all whey isolate.. Again showing how different docs are

Wow! Your NUT is opposed to Premier Protein, but caffeinated flavored coffee is okay? You're totally right in pointing out how different each doc/program is - that is wild!

They are all so different. My nut gave me a print out with some different brands and places you can buy ready to drink and powders from. I'm just glad I found a Protein I like...for now.

Good call Mama!

Thanks all for the advice. Yes I've tried muscle milk and I like it but for some reason most of the Protein I've tried all taste like metal to me. Oh lord don't ask me why I just said metal. It just has a weird after taste that makes me nauseous. I guess I have to keep trying until I find one I like. I sure don't want to be bald. No way! I'm curious to try the unflavored in coffee. I love coffee so this might be it. Looking forward to try this. Thanks again all. I really appreciate your comments.

Haven't tried it yet but will be. Thanks for the advice. I've tried many Protein shakes and I hate them all so far.

      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.
