Body Fortress Vanilla Protein powder is sold at Wal-Mart and is one of the less expensive ones. I think it tastes very good when mixed with skim milk. Nature's Best Isopure zero carb powder and ready to drink drinks are more like sweet Fruit Drinks without any milk. You can get these at GNC or on the internet. I like those too. My favorite tasting drink is Worldwide Sports Nutrition Pure Protein Shake Frosty chocolate. It comes in an 11 oz. can. I got mine on the internet from Vitamin Shoppe (look for coupon codes) I did a bunch of taste testing before the surgery so I would be ready and know what ech one tasted like. There is also a high protein pudding for the mushy stage: Instone Stallone high protein pudding. The only flavor I tasted so far is vanilla, but I though it tasted pretty good.

I just got a new Protein drink - not really a shake.

New-Whey Liquid Protein by IDS. It has 42 grams of Protein in 3 oz of liquid - Orange is the flavor of choice. I have tried the fruit punch, too - but Orange is best. (The old version had 26 grams - be sure you get the one with 42)

You can either drink it like a Jello shot - or do what I do and cut it with Water to cut-down on the unfortunate texture. It is a little slimy and gacky sweet - but it has no fat, 2 grams of carbohydrate and all that protein. I mixed it in a litre bottle with a propel and some tap Water this morning and it was fine. I sipped on it all the way to work in the car and finished it. It wasn't bad.

For the traditional Protein Shake, I use Six Star powder - ton's of Vitamins and 20 grams of protein with a nice flavor. You can get that at Walmart.< /p>

My preop was fat and carb restricted but not sugar restricted. I found that I could take a Slimfast low carb vanilla shake and add about 2 tablespoons of strawberry flavoring ( I used Hershey strawberry milk flavoring) and it acutally tasted like a real strawberry shake. I put the shake in the freezer for about an hour before I blended it with 1/4 cup skim milk and the strawberry flavor.

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
