I started my two week liquid preop diet today. It hasn't been too bad except for the Protein drinks. They are so sweet. Any suggestions for ones that aren't? I have tried Oh Yeah! and Premier Protein. I can do anything for two weeks but any suggestoins would be so helpful!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try adding PB2 its available at GNC where I get it for $4.00. It adds Protein and a much better Peanut Butter taste to the Protein shakes ( which I cant stand the taste of without PB2). Its really yummy that way! Give it a try, cant really go wrong for that price. Good luck to you! :D

I just got a book, "The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein drinks." I haven't tried any yet, but they look good. Also, google recipe bariatric Protein shakes and see what looks good. If you make them yourself, you can make it to your taste. Hope this helps!

New whey has 42 grams of Protein and is less than 4 oz. The nu at my doctor's office just told me about it today. This product wasn't one of the suggested brands in my information packet as it is a new product and my packet was typed up and reprinted for the past 3+ yrs. She also told me that you can add ice or Water to it if its too sweet and it will still be less volume than the shakes. Not a big deal pre-op but from what I hear post-op its quite a chore to get the Protein down due to the new tiny stomach :) Just thought I would forward my newly found info!hope it helps.

      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.
