Hi everyone! I am so excited to share with you all that I just got a call from my advocate, and my surgery has been approved for August 20th!!!! YAY!!!!!! I am so blessed! So, starting today I am on a one week pre op diet until my surgery date. Can anyone share ways they made their shakes taste better? I am drinking the Bariatric Advantage vanilla and chocolate shakes. The consistency is awful. Any suggestions would be so helpful! Thanks yall!

Congrats! It's nice that you don't have a long wait before the surgery.

I like to mix mine with sugar-free hot cocoa (not too hot or it will get clumpy) or with leftover coffee (usually over ice for the coffee/protein powder mixture). You can also get unflavored Protein powder and add to crystal lite.

I switched from Bariatric Advantage to powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I found the Bariatric Advantage too sweet and chemically tasting. I also made the shakes with skim milk plus and a few ice cubes in the blender it definitely helped.

Congrats & Good Luck!

Unfortunately, my doctor has Instructed that I only mix my shakes with water...booorring! I tried mixing 6 oz of coffee with two scoops of vanilla flavored Protein this morning. The taste was ok, but the texture is what I'm going to have to figure out. I have a feeling I will be sticking to broths more than shakes at this point. I've heard a lot about Unjury. I will have to try it. Thanks yall!

I had to switch to Unjury from BA also, I tried the vanilla and it was like trying to suck back shots of cake frosting. Gross! I really enjoy the unjury chicken Soup with just Water. I've been pretty much living off it since surgery 8 days ago. I'm getting some unjury chocolate splendor today to break up the routine. I tried it with water before and it wasn't so great, but I will use it with skim milk so I can add the 8g of protein!

I bought coconut, root beer, cinnamon and almond extract. I tried the cinnamon with vanilla I liked it. I have to Water mine down cause it's a little to thick for my liking. I will be trying coconut and root beer tomorrow.

You have a blender, right? If no, buy a Magic Bullet ($50). Grind up some ice, then add the Protein shake. Makes it taste like a milkshake! Also coconut and pineapple flavorings make a great piña colada. I even added Hershey's Cocoa to the chocolate flavored for a richer taste.

unjury has a strawberry Sorbet flavor that can be added to sugar-free Jello if you want something with some substance.

Good luck in your journey. It's going to be amazing!

      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.
