How many of you continue the shakes in your diet after many months after surgery?



Recommended Posts

I plan on using the Protein for good, it does the trick for me, and I want get back into weight training again, I did have to research to find the right one, paid 24.95 and get 2 servings for 32 days lots better than 90.00 for a month

@@TammyDTM, yes. I just had my consult with her the day after I scheduled my surgery and she just went over what was on the handout sheet. She just said how many grams of Protein the shakes should have and she also emphasized I stop the Protein Shakes at 3 weeks... It's strange they don't do Protein Shakes because all I see on here is people talking about Protein and their shakes.< /p>

I do a shake once if not twice some days. I can still meet my protein intake on food source along, but the additional protein I am getting in from the combination of food and shakes, helps greatly with the whole sore weak feeling muscles. Plus if you can incorporate the shakes in pre and post workout they will help greatly with muscle building.

Im 6 months out and I still drink 2 drinks a day. I don't get enough Protein in with food. My doctor has no problem with it.

I'll be 2 years out in 4 months. I do one or 2 Protein supplements per day. Daily, one in my coffee to make a "latte" and often, but not always one in "bar" form later in the day. The "bar" one is really more of a "cookie fix" when I use it. PowerCrunch is da bomb! I'll probably never give up my Protein latte at this point. It's my morning treat!

      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. 🤞
