Hi nikki' date='

GNC has a great whey powder that is unflavored. The protien shots are so full of additives and fake color and flavor that it really does cause some indigestion

If you have a juicer or can get your hands on o e for while, try spinach, apple, carrot and put in the whey Protein. Try to go as natural as possible.

The GNC whey also mixes well in Soup. However do not bring it to a boil thought or it clumps.

Good Luck

I was on August 23rd. Feeling good but found out today that I have pneumonia!

Oh noooo! I'm sure you were taking some time off for the surgery, but that is a complication no one needs. I'm hoping the pneumonia will Be resolved quickly so you can get back to healing. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Just have to share. I talked with my doc yesterday and asked about the Premier Protein shakes from costco and he said they would be perfect. They are 30g Protein, 3G sugar and fat. The best part is they taste like chocolate milk!!! That alone made my day, so I had to share for all those struggling with protein intake and nasty shakes. :-) wishing all of us the best!! <3

Hey guys I was sleeved 17 days ago. But I had a question. I'm having lots of soreness/pain on my right hand side on my stomach I believe where they pulled the stomach out. Is anyone else feeling like this? Should I be worried?

I was sleeves 13 days ago and I'm not sore. Is it red or warm in that area?

      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.
