I have read a lot of post lately where people post op 3 weeks to 2 months are being told to wean off of Protein Shakes. Did some new study come out recently as there is no way I could come close to eating my Protein without the shakes. I am required to get at least 75 grams of protein a day

I was told at this point they are optional but no more than 1/day so that my gut stays awake and busy working.

I was told no shakes after the first month. We are supposed to get the protein from foods.

I was told one shake a day for life. Every doctor is different. Go with what yours says

I will because it is confusing. I just assumed I would be using some kind of Protein Shake daily. I only drink one a day but I have been drinking also 8 ounce glass of Unjury chicken Soup and this evening a 8 ounce glass of their strawberry sorbet and that gave me 72 grams of Protein today plus the Ham I ate and the Turkey so total about 90 grams today

My surgeon says no more and not to worry about the Protein amounts until about a year after. My nutritionist completely disagrees and says to drink shakes daily. I find that drinking 2-3 glasses of milk a day really helps to get your protein in.

The Unjury is pretty good. Reminds me of ramen noodles broth.

chicken soup is okay,not fabulous but not bad...I get SICK of sweet shakes and want savory or salty, the Unjury chicken soup fills that void for me.

I love milk!! My surgeon and the NUT both wants 80-90 grams of protein a day. But at last appointment they said to work on. 75 grams. I guess they want to work up to the 80-90

        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
