High amount of Protein with low amount of calories. The higher your protein and the lower your calories, the more wt you will loose. Also if you work out protein helps build musle which helps burn fat. So even though they are not the most tasty thing. They do help. Also I put coffee in mine to take away the sweetness. Its like putting alot of Creamer in your coffee just healthier.

Protein isn't optional for us. Our nourishment firstly comes from protein, veggies second, and carbs last (if there's even room). Your NUT should have given you a protein goal each day - I find mine is easier met through Protein Shakes. At some point in the future we're supposed to wean off of Protein Shakes and onto food only.

Hello all,

I am new to this site and am learning a lot set to have surgery next month. I wanted to get some clarification on the Proteins drink. I just saw that you posted the more Protein it is better and less calories. Does that apply to the total fat or over all calories. I am still learning and I want to know what to look for when shopping. I did see Isoplus, Lean body and muscle milk. What would be the best Protein to but as well as ready to drink ones?

Thxs for your answers

I am 6 weeks post op today and my NUT and surgeon have set Protein daily goal of 90 grams. It's impossible to get that much protein without the Protein drinks, but I find that I am getting a horrid aversion to the artificial sweetener taste in the Protein Drinks and am tending to go with the Soups. Your taste buds might be changing as you go through the process; the whole process seems very individually based.

      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.
