I was sleeved 10/6 and I live in Medical Lake, WA. I work in Spokane, WA. I'm down 13 pounds so far and overall feel pretty good. I haven't thrown up one time. Thank God since that was my biggest fear going into this. I've been saving Soups as well. I just strain everything out after I warm it up. Only about 1/4 cup at a time. Which seems to be plenty. I'm pretty happy so far but I too look forward to more options in the future. =)

Carnation Instant breakfast doesnt have alot of Protein in it (only 5 grams per package according to the side of the box). New whey has a liquid Protein in different flavors that has 42 grams of Protein that you can add to cold Water or almond milk and many of the other protein powders have 20-30 grams of protein per scoop.

Check out GNC. The wheybolic 60 is pretty good and meets the requirements. I just use one scoop. vanilla is good. strawberry tastes a little chemically but the chocolate is to DIE for!! Not to sweet but just enough!

Imaher718, once you mix it with something it tastes pretty good....better than the powder IMO. I have been mixing mine with almond milk and a half cup of frozen fruit to make a smoothie OR with flavored crystal light

VSG on 10/13

Clear liquids for one week post op, then semi solid foods (yogurt, Protein shakes)

am also able to start Vitamin regimen on 2nd week post op (Bariatric Advantage multi EA and Calcium citrate, both chewables)

my nutritionist included a nice packet of example meal plans beginning my 2nd week post op. one ingredient included HEB Mootopia fat free milk. I had never tried it but was curious. Apparently its a "designer milk" that has less sugar and more Protein and Calcium that regular milk. The taste is ok but im looking forward to mixing it with powders and fruits with my shakes. Not sure when ill lock in on a powder but i have tried the AMP products and BSN Syntha-6, both very good.

        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.

      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
