Your body starts to consume its muscle for fuel if you don't get your Protein. Not a good thing. Did your dr tell you to have a specific kind of shake because there are tons of different ones. I use eas advantedge carb control ready to drink. The chocolate is my favorite and it has 17gr Protein in 11oz. I'm not a huge fan of the powdered kind. But I've started making Popsicles out of it and they are very yummy. And 20gr of protein.

When I made Popsicles the powder all settled in bottom. Not very tasty.

I use a cup of powder and a cup of milk and put it in the blender for a full minute. Makes it really thick. Yesterday I made chocolate ones with a tablespoon of Peanut Butter. O. M. G. Reese's cup!!!!!

ladies..try this Peanut Butter. 2g of sugars and 6g of Protein, 7g in carbs. I had a teaspoon of it wonderfull. It's organic and glutten free. What impressed me the best is that it does not have all the oil like regular peanut butter. It's pretty dry!!

Oh man. Day 20 post op and I feel like crap. The last few days I've been tired, low energy, low blood sugar (light headed when I stand up). I'm eating right, taking all necessary Vitamins, getting in my 64oz of Water. I think this surgery is finally kicking my ass!

Good morning :) Hope everyone is feeling better today.

I had a bad food day yesterday, as in not enough. So even though I'm allowed pureed foods, I'm having an Ensure high Protein Shake so I know I've gotten at least 25 g of Protein today

You didn't mention Protein, are you getting enough protein besides your water? Do you think your food is enough protein? I felt like that once and it was my protein. I hope your energy kick in.

      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.
