I would be careful and not go crazy on the shakes because a lot of us have tried and boughten shakes and then our taste buds changed immediately after surgery and it was a waste of money :(( there is Premier Protein which just about everyone on my Facebook groups love they are the pre made ones and the chocolate is so great they are 160 calories 5 grams of carbs and 1 gram of sugar and 30 grams of Protein

Good Morning Everyone' date='

I have just started the process to get the surgery done. Of course I am in my 1 month and my insurance require a 6 month "I CAN CHANGE" process before they can approve me. I have been overweight my whole life. I am ready to make this change, FOR ME. My family supports me and I actually have my aunt doing the whole process with me since she is also considering it as well. My boyfriend supports me all the way.

I am a 27 year old Puerto Rican female with no children and engaged to an amazing guy. As a typical spanish family we LOVE our CARBS! Right after high school (9 years ago) I have gained 70 lbs. I have gone with so much and upset with myself that I have let myself go. I am ready to change and I am glad I have found this website.

Thank you for reading my Post[/quote']

I hear u, I'm Puerto Rican too....n I had the same worries! N to make matters worse....I'm from the "clean ur plate or u wear it club"! But during ur process ur gon pick things up n learn wat is worth eating n wats not. Not goin to b easy....but gets better! Use that time ur gon b waiting to mentally prepare urself! Working for me....n I'm finally ready to get that surgery date! Good luck...

        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
