I found this in a drug store ( rite aid.) It has 50g of Protein in one vial. You drink it a d it's not bad. It's 2 servings a day 25g ea. 1g sugar! The cost was 3.59 each.

Surgery date 4/18/13 @ 7:30 am SW 316 CW 287 GW 150

Your. Body will only absorb about 1/2 the protein in that. There is 1 brand of shots that are ok. But I don't remember the brand. They sell them in the gift shop at the bariatric center I use

For about two weeks (5-7weeks after surgery) I went thru the same thing except it was vitamins, fluids and protein. I was feeling sick all the time and no desire to eat or drink. Actually had to get iv fluids twice however it passed, thankfully. I use unflavored protein in drinks and foods like Soups or yogurt. Even if you use half a scoop in one drink or food then later in the day the other half scoop its a little added protein to your day.

      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.
