Do they have it in other flavors? I can't stand orange unless it's from a tree or OJ.

I'm sure they do. This is the only one ink have tried. I get it at complete nutrition and i know they give samples.< /p>

Don't be jealous girl...I am on soft/pureed and if you aren't careful you can really make yourself feel like 'crap' (that's being polite!). I made myself go back to liquids & some pureed each day and that seems to working pretty good for me for now! Maybe advancing slower is better...or maybe I just don't know what I'm doing! I'm just glad to be losing weight!!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Yea true, you're right... I've gone back to almost full liquids at this point also because the heartburn is bad. I love my Protein Shakes, they are yummy and satisfy my sweet tooth haha Does your doc also require each phase for 2 weeks?

I take a V-core Vantage' date=' two scoops. With two scoops it has 300 calories, 18 carbs and 50 grams of Protein. I mix it with Water 16-18 oz or some times I put in 1/2 cup of low fat yogurt. It is the orange creamsicle and I like it. Some times I use the Isopure grape with vanilla EAS protein too. I tried the strawberry ones from Unjury, yuck! So I stick with what I like. So with that and what I eat, I think I am ding pretty good. Just need to get all my water in too![/quote']thanks!

What is your calorie intake?

800 I hover around. I'm doing better. My wellness doc said to worry about Protein first but wants me to get 1000 cals.

Check out topic Weight loss stall at 2 weeks. There is a great article on their that explains what your body is going through. Measure yourself too. You may be losing inches. I'm going through the same, but I can feel my legs and face thinning out.

I think mine is longer than 2 weeks, I went to an appointment with my nutritionist on the 10th (1 month post op) and she advanced me to soft/pureed, I just gotta get better at measuring and weighing my foods! I go back Monday for my second check-up (5 wks. 5 days) with the doc., can't wait to see how he thinks I'm doing!

Under topic "weight loss stall at 2 weeks." It was a link under a persons profile. I was trying to find the darn thing to forward to you. If I can find it I will send it to you. :-). It's the exchange of Water and some other substance in our muscles. Best wishes!

I know, :-/ -_- :-(. My App my my phone also told me....."you're not eating enough calories. Your will cause your body to go into starvation mode if you don't get in enough calories. I'm working to get in at least a 1000 calories. It's so hard. I am doing great with my Water and protein....geeez. Never thought in my life I would be struggling to get my caloric intake in. Lol. I know I'll get there. :-).

      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.
