Hi Jer-Z Girl,

It will get better by the 3rd day. Hold On! I've switched over to the Bariatric Advantage Protein shakes and I must say they are MUCH better than the Premier Protein Shakes I got from costco. When I say 'Better', I mean in keeping me satisfied. I made the Bariatric Advantage shakes with my Magic Bullet and the portable shaker and they were great either way. I have a shake or Bariatric Advantage pre-packaged snack every 2-3 hrs along with plenty of Water, and I am good. My surgeon recommended 80oz of Water per day, but I'm targeting 96 oz (3 32oz bottles) per day.

Hang in there - You can do it!

Oh dear!!! Have you tried drinking the muscle milk? its got the same thing as the bariatric Protein Drinks but taste 100x's better!!! My only advice is to constantly remind yourself why you are doing this. it will pass but no doubt is it the hardest thing to do. I can assure you, it is SO worth it. Good luck

Thank you all for your advise. I will keep moving along as planned. To keep myself motivated, I go to the "Before and After" pictures so I can become inspired again.

Another thing I did was measurements.. I took them all over writing them down. So far I've lost 22 1/2 inches from all over my body- I didn't notice weight dropping but the numbers do not lie! Also, my nut said I could have egg drop Soup strained yummo :) ask your nut for advice.. Mine also said add in an extra Protein if needed. Hubby mixes powered whey with ice n a little Water it taste like a shake :) ps 1 to 2 pounds a day rolling off and I'm going in for surgery on 3/27 so close

Great job!! Popsicle brand has a sugar free tropical that's out of this world when it comes to flavor! Also Powerade zero- for that "other" taste u crave

Ok how many grams of Protein is it in the Bariatric Advantage? I brought the Premier ones from Sam's Club. I'll have to try those.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
