Is it possible to go through this journey without Protein Shakes? I hate them. All of them.

I found some called "Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness" Meal Replacements at a local health food store. They are better than anything else I've tried, including the unjury stuff. Unfortunately, this shop is the only place I've been able to find them, you might see if they could ship some to you. Here is their website: http://www.healthy-weight-supermarket.com.

I am really getting tired of them also. What brands does everyone like and what flavors? Any suggestions on doctoring them up? Still in full liquids phase

Unjury has a flavorless Protein Powder that you can put in anything liquid as long as it is not over 140 degrees. You can mix it with broth, coffee, tea, pudding, Jello, fruit juice ect..

does the Unjury unflavored have any taste to it at all? Does it change the taste of what you put in it?

unjury unflavored doesn't really have a taste but it does have the grit of Protein powder. I add it to yogurt for a boost.

I like Atkins ready to drink shakes. And Syntrax nectar.

I'm pre-op and Im going nuts. I just want to eat a piece of meat, even fish. Why can't we eat lean meat? Anyone know?

Every Dr. is so different! I'm allowed chicken Breast on my Pre-Op diet. I'm also allowed peas, mashed potatoes, canned fruit & S.F Jello.

I just had a super lite string cheese and a slice of thin deli turkey. It was amazing.

Earlier I went to the grocery store to get more Protein Powder and I seriously felt like I was staring at the food like it was porn or something.

Next time I'm sending my husband.

I saw these chocolate crisp things that look like Pringles and I picked it up and was thinking "oh my darling do you know what I would do to

You, if only we could be together, imagine the possibilities."

Does your Dr. allow for broths or leafy greens? My nutritionist said I'm allowed to have up to 4 lbs. of leafy greens. I don't think I've eaten that much salad in my entire life. I struggle with the constant sweetness of the shakes, but I've found that a beef or chicken broth, or a couple dill pickles (basically "healthy" salty options) helps reset my brain. The saltiness of the broth helps combat the "tired of sweet" feeling. The same with the pickles, only they have the bonus of giving me something to chew on. sugar-free gum also gives me something to chew on, which helps. Hang in there, from what others have said, this is the worst part..

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
