So I am almost a month post op, doing really well no pain or anything my only problem is the stupid Protein Shakes. I have nectar fuzzy naval and double stuffed cookie and i can't seem to make either tolerable does anyone have any suggestions of either how to make them more tasty or which ones might be better.

I really like Premier Protein or Pure Protein because they are both really light tasting and not chalky or gross. I was using a powder for a while but it just became disgusting to me, so I ended up having to switch to the pre-made shakes and I don't regret it at all.

I love Quest Protein Shakes and bars. So yummy and you can bake with it too! My favorite is Peanut Butter and they sell it GNC.

Have you googled Bariatric shake recipes? I have many great sounding ways to modify plain shakes. I ordered this and am so glad I did as it not only has ideas but ways to work with the powder to make it the texture/consistency desired: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1480101095/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1441633999&sr=8-1π=SY200_QL40&keywords=bariatric+shakes+book&dpPl=1&dpID=41Q8WEwHzpL&ref=plSrch

Experiment. I found that blending in fruit (a half a banana) made the Protein shakes more tolerable.

I never could tolerate Protein shakes and new i would have a problem...bought the premere at costco and drank one and said hell no and returned the case.

i've tried so many and i hate them all! i have now resorted to slim fast with 1.5 cups of milk and 2 tbsp greek yogurt to dull the sweetness. the total Protein comes in at just over 30 grams. 1 a day is all i can handle.

i have started eating low fat ricotta cheese with a tiny drop of Tomato sauce, it has saved my life! it actually makes me happy to have 2 tbsp of that and i eat it lunch and dinner.

Unjury has been my favorite post-op! I make them in my nutrition-bullet rx with 8 oz of FairLife 2% milk and some ice to make it milkshake like. Both the vanilla and the chocolate splendor have been my fave so far. I'm going to try a tsp of creamy Peanut Butter in my chocolate splendor tonight. I tried the unflavored in cream of broccoli Soup last night and almost vomited! I made sure the temp was below 140* and it was still gritty and clumped....never again! The chicken soup Unjury is also good!

I used to like Premier Protein pre-op but hated it post-op. And all the other whey Protein shakes/powders I tried. They just left a nasty after taste. I started using Vega Protein. It's a vegan Protein Powder with 20 grams of protein per serving, and 120 cals. I love it! It cost $24 for a 16 serving container but well worth it. I'm on my 3rd container.

        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
