Recommended Posts

I'm 5 weeks post op and would like to make my own Protein Shakes but I heard we are not allowed to use a blender. What is everyone else doing to make their own shakes?

huh, I've never heard of not being allowed to use a blender. I do find that using a standard blender puts a lot of air bubbles and foam into a shake, which can be uncomfortable and gross to drink. But you can put your shake in the fridge for an hour after blending to get rid of the bubbles if a standard blender is what you have on hand. I use an immersion blender, which doesn't add any foam or air bubbles to the shake. Plus it is easier to clean!

I use a blender everyday (HB dual wave) to make Protein smoothies. Add skim milk, ice, bananas, apples, berries, whatever to my Premier Protein and Syntrax Nectar drinks.< /p>

Thanks every one . I was told not to use a blender because of the air it puts in, but when I let it sit it separates and is not very appetizing...

      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. 🤞
