Fairlife Milk is ultra purified, contains no gluten, lactose, has higher Calcium, higher Protein, and 1/2 of the sugar. Regular milk has 8g protein, Fairlife has 13grams. I love Isopure powder.I get the zero carb powder so I don't have to worry about carbs and the milk only has 6 carbs in 8 oz. Isopure is not gritty and mixes well, but as I have found, protein powders have a different taste for different people. I have tried a few others and couldn't handle them, especially designer whey powder. If you have 3 cups a day, you have 60+ grams of protein, and 24 oz of Water.< /p>

My dietician told me about Fairlife milk too. It is highly filtered. After my bypass, I became allergic to milk, so I started using Fairlife. It is great!!! You can get it at most grocery stores now. I am a band to bypass too. Congrats on the big decision! I am so glad I got rid of that band. It never settled right for me. The bypass is so much more practical for real life. And I lost all my weight very easily by following the rules, Protein first, then some veggies and fruit. But it takes awhile to get to the regular food stage. Hang in there and remember your stomach needs time to heal right and that is why you can't eat regular foods for awhile. Good luck! Tracy

I am definitely learning that this is true @@Tlmarsh and the others who have posted. I still do not have any appetite. I do not desire to eat or drink, but I am slowly drinking my Protein and Water daily. The sight, smell of food from my family doesn't bother me at all. I'm taking things slowly and enjoying the idea of what my new life is going to be. I did have to get on the scale, just to see what it said. Tomorrow will be one week post op and I am down 12lbs. I wish everyone continual success.

@@Dibaby44 I spent 3 nights at the hospital. My doctor wanted to be very cautious since I had a revision.

Don't be nervous. I had absolutely no fear. I was so overwhelmed with faith and excitement! Went in strong and came out stronger! You can do it and you will be just fine!

      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
