HEB is a grocery store chain in Texas, I think.

It's a grocery store and I was down in Texas. Thought someone could help me find some good Protein.< /p>

Depends on where you are located, each HEB markets to the type of neighborhood they are in. In San Antonio Bandera and 1604 has its own health food Protein section.

Best thing I found at HEB was fat free Mootopia milk. It is lactose free milk but has like 12 or 13 grams of Protein in a glass which is much more than regular milk or lactose free milk. I used it for everything to up my protein intake.

I went the HEB and bought a pint of the chocolate lactose free milk, and it taste amazing. However, 1-cup has 12-g of sugar. Won't this be a problem after surgery??

I am Pre-op(Sept 16th surgery date), so I am trying to find things for after surgery. Thank you.

Thank you for the information. Any additional tips please feel free to give them. I feel like I am a little unprepared understanding the acceptable foods and I want to educate myself STAT.

      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. 🤞
