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.

        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.

      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
