I enjoy Syntrax Nectar Cappuccino. Mixed with 8oz Water and 8 oz of skim milk or unsweetened almond milk. Delicious! Also Syntrax nectar lemon tea with 32 oz water and a crystal light lemonade packet.

I love the pre-mixed Ensure HIgh Protein shakes, milk chocolate flavor. They are very smooth, like chocolate milk with no aftertaste. I prefer them chilled but it's not necessary to refrigerate them. Each bottle is 210 calories, 25g Protein, 5g sugar, 2.5g fat and lots of vitamins/minerals too. Wish I had known about them during my liquid phase. I usually drink one per day.< /p>

I am a die hard Unjury fan, I am almost 5 months out and still do a morning shake with unjury. I love it. the unflavored is great and so is chocolate splender.

I became a huge smoothie fan after I started gaging on Protein shakes, just the consistency of them made me gag. I use smoothie King Protein Powder (45g in 2 scoops) mix in some strawberries and apples, little bit of ice and there you go.

I am 4 weeks post op and have never been able to get down Protein Shakes. I get all my Protein (and meet my requirements fully) from natural sources. My nutritionist said I can't do it but I did! My main sources are 1% and fat-free milk, cheese, fat-free greek yogurt and lean small meatballs. Thankfully I'm not lactose intolerant!

      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. 🤞
