Hi,

I will have my surgery on February 18th and I just started doing mostly shakes and the ones I am using are great! THEY are the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shakes and you can get them on line. The chocolate and Vanilla are great. How was the surgery? I am a bit nervous about that....I hope the you like these shakes.

Thanks for the tip will try. Surgery was great i had a lil discomfort the first 3 days but nothing major.. gas pains were a bother but walking is the only thing that helps. Lots of weight loss im down from 277 to 251 and im only 11days post of so its all worth it. Good luck on ur surgery its definitely life changing

I am day 13 postop from VGS and I am also struggling to get my Water and Vitamins in every day. I can do string cheese and cottage cheese and soft eggs which is helping. I made salmon and have done the tuna of course with a little light miracle whip my dietician's idea :) and that has been fine. Refried Beans with a little mozzarella cheese. I have done crockpot dark meat and white chicken in cream of chicken Soup, one time with just low sodium chicken base, and once with onions And mild peppers just for flavor and then puréed it. Any ideas would be great. A little Protein Powder in my fave soup progressive light potato bacon and cheese has only 3 grams fat. Down down 23# since surgery jam 19th.

      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. 🤞
