I'm currently day 4 into my pre-op and have tried multiple Protein powders but can not seem to like any of them! I'm such a picky eater, so this is a very difficult task for me. What powders do you recommend? What tastes great?

Try a ready to drink shake, better tasting in my opinion. Premier Protein is my favorite and the favorite of many here.

Thanks! I'll have to give that a try.

Are you allowed fruit or nut butters in your shake? If so Peanut Butter banana with vanilla whey and vanilla almond milk is my go-to.

They just said to keep my sugar intake very low and have at least 30g Protein. I've been trying so many different variations of mixes and I can't seem to find the one I want to spend months drinking. ????

Try different things to mix in...PB2 or sf Torani syrups...they really help...I do vanilla Protein with unsweetened almond milk and a few drops of Folgers iced coffee drops...blend with ice and I have a frappuccino like I used to get from starbucks!

I'm on day 2 of my preop diet and haven't found a powder I like either. (I began taste testing a couple months ago) However, the RTD Premier Protein shakes and Muscle Milk shakes are so yummy I am fine with those. Yes, more expensive... but at least palatable. :)

DH and I have been drinking Premiere Protein pre-made drinks form costco. So far chocolate is the best tasting in our opinion. Vanilla isn't too bad, but a bit sweet for my taste. In order to combat the sweetness/chalkiness I poured it over crushed ice and it was much more enjoyable. I actually drank it much quicker than when out of a cup or the disposable container. DH has added PB2 to his drinks to help add variety to the flavors.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
