Closest whole foods is on the other side of the state, or in Chicago. Buuuut, I gotta go to wally world tomorrow. I'll check it out.

I got raspberry, vanilla and hazelnut. Omg. Yummy. If you add raspberry to chocolate pudding it's delish. Or to vanilla yogurt. I'm just sayin.

Just a dash. And stir and add more. Lol. Not even as much as you'd squeeze chocolate into milk to mix to make chocolate milk.

They are delish. Also, if you like chocolate covered strawberries you can toss frozen strawberries into a chocolate shake, I used the RTD premier and blended them when I was on my supervised diet. No ice needed. The frozen strawberries did the job.

At first we can't have them Bc of the seeds, but I can't wait. Lol

Are you allowed to have fruit now?

I can't wait to go to Walmart tomorrow. Apparently there is a root beer extract, and when added to walmart a vanilla Protein drink, it makes it at taste like a root beer float. NEED IT.

You need to give reviews after I try it. No fruit for a very long time. Protein, veggies, fruit then carbs. My nut made it sound like I'd never have fruit and it bummed me out. But then it was explained in prep class.

I've found that Protein powder is only good in the chocolate or chocolate swirl puddings. Not vanilla. Not even vanilla if you freeze it. It's gross. Maybe if I add some Mio or raspberry. I'll try it again I'm sure.

I'm referring to sugar-free puddings of course.

Believe it or not, I literally can not tell on the chocolate except for the fact that after you mix it up, it's runny. So I set it in the fridge or freezer to let it thicken back up.

In the vanilla or dulce de leches it's horrid

have you tried EAS AdvantEdge RTD, they are not as thick as some of the others. The chocolate fudge and strawberry are my favs, but the cafe' caramel is also good.

If it's the milk like flavors that you don't like try Isopure Zero carb, there is a rtd and powders.

Also nectar makes many flavors of powder that are good.

I just can't stomach those Protein shakes, there has to be a better way .

I am not sure about pre op. I stuck to the directions on the canister. I just mixed fusion bariatric Protein Powder with the almond milk and a couple ice cubes to add thickness. I had surgery Feb. 3rd so I am like 11 days post op. I am doing pretty good thanks for asking. I had a bad day today. Nothing was sitting well except Water. I am still extremely fatigued but I have one more week off for a total of 3 weeks. Its hard to catch up on rest since I have a three year old who is a boss. :D

I'm def worried about the fatigue! Bless your heart... I'm sure this is difficult with a toddler. How much have you lost?

I started my pre op diet at 253 (10 days liver reduction diet.... cheated a couple times). On my surgery date (Feb 3) I was about 242. I haven't weighted myself today but yesterday I was 234. So nearly 20 lbs.

I got sick of the shakes fast and even now when I drink them (6 months) I get grossed out. Now I make Protein hemp muffins using vegan powders instead for protein light days. What about them makes you gag?

I absolutely love Hemp Protein Powder (I get the hi-Fiber kind). I have to start experimenting more with recipes that call for more plant based Proteins. I feel the best when I eat clean and stay away from as many processed, packaged things. That is why I am leaning more toward making my own shakes instead of the store bought.

Please share recipes as you find them. I love discovering cleaner more veggified foods! I'm going to experiment with making some nut cheeses.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
