Lol @eggnog flavored Protein drinks!!

Good luck, I know it will be a bit of a challenge this time of year for sure! But just know this "diet" is so different from any diet you have done before and will be the first step to a happy healthy life by this time next year :)

To make my vanilla shakes egg-noggy, I have been adding vanilla, a little sweetener and a sprinkle of nutmeg. I did not miss the egg, but the nog is pretty good.

DaVinci (like Torani) makes a sugar free eggnog syrup! You can add it to vanilla Protein Shake and sprinkle a little nutmeg on top. I've been doing that & it's keeping me from missing my Starbucks eggnog latte!

The SF Torani syrups are awesome (at the grocery near the coffees). You can also add a sprinkle of SF pudding, Jello, Crystal Light to your shakes. Be adventurous! Good luck!

Started mine today. Let's just say :( only could tolerate 3 of the 5 shakes I was told to drink daily. Did broth and Jello. This is going to be a long 2 weeks. I'm weak!

It's normal to feel weak and even get headaches the first couple of days.. Trust me it gets easier around day three.

If you feel weak I would also suggest drinking all of your recommended shakes :)

Try different flavored shakes....I added various Mio flavors to my vanilla shakes....orange, grape, pomegranate, pink lemonade... I had "coffee shakes" by mixing Decaf coffee with a vanilla shake. Added unflavored Protein Powder to broth...beef or chicken or tortilla Soup base. PB2 is awesome mixed in vanilla or chocolate shakes. I'm pretty sure I had something different every day. You can totally do this. I spent 16 days on my preop and lost 20 pounds.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
