No I haven't! powder or is it already made?

The muscle milk light is what my nut recommended. It was the only Protein Drink I like. I would recommend the ready to drink over the powder.

Hello hek1127,

A drink my nut recommended for something that is tasty and you can carry ( i commute to work here in Philly) and has 16 gr of protien and counts towards your fluids is Gatorade G3.... found it at target for $1.59 per bottle its not bad ...kiwi strawberry has a " unique" taste. but the other flavors are not bad. hope this helps :-)

So my doc told me NO Protein Shakes or anything that doesn't come from food. Problem is, I don't feel like I'm getting enough Protein. I'm hitting maybe 25g a day and that's me eating as much protein packed things I can find. I'm only like a week and a half post op. I just feel like I'm the only one on here that isn't in taking some extra form of protein. Any ideas?

Your not allowed Protein Shakes? Wow that's crazy. Did he say why? I'm not allowed to have regular food for 2 more weeks, that's after the purée stage. ???

I'm required to make up my Protein with supplements. Sixty grams of protein is like 6-8 oz. of beef...no way could I eat all that!

The first 2-3 days I was on clear liquid, then day 3-7 I was on purée foods, now from day 8 - 4 months I'm on soft foods.

Went in for my post op today. 5 days out from surgery and I'm down 7.5 lbs. God is so good because I am feeling great. Drove myself to the doctor today. Haven't had pain meds in days. My back and stomach start to feel really tense after I've been up and about for a few hours but that's really it.

      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.

      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.
