Ohhh! Your going to do great!

Tips: drink liquid protien not shakes in the beginning... Also you don't need to eat for the first 6-to year as long as you get Protein in that's what my doc always told me also I started shakes 1 month out Nd muscle milk pro series worked the best, the least calories, most protein and least sugars its 40 grams but I can only drink pre made the powder is gross

Wow! Great job! My surgery is set for November 12. I can't wait to get it over with and start toward the downward side!

Thanks for the tips! I'm a little confused. I hope you can help me out with this. You said drink only liquid protien in the beginning, not shakes. What would that be? All I can think of when I hear liquid protien is protien shakes.

Also, what is ND Muscle milk and where do you get it? Is that a protien shake or the liquid protien you are talking about.

Like I said, I'm confused. I hope you can help me understand the difference a little better.

Thank you. And you really do look FABULOSE!!!!

If you get Muscle Milk Light it has under 5 grams of sugar and it's not bad at all!

Hello i have a question. If i continued to just drink my Protein i really dnt have to eat?

I am finding myself not hungry and nothing satisfies me when i do eat.

I am 8weeks out. I lost 44lbs so far. My dr feels i lost too much too fast and placed me on a regular diet, lol, not working. I dont like food, as funny as that may sound.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
