I'm almost 5 weeks out and I've been drinking Premier Protein, but everyday that goes by, they make me more nauseous. I threw up this morning. I have some Unjury powder that I put in my Crystal Lite, but the consistency makes me sick. I know I'm being picky. Where do you get Syntrax Nectar? I need something that will go in my Crystal Lite that doesn't make it too thick. What are some good options? I can't get enough Protein from food yet. When can you eat Protein Bars?

Have you tried unflavored Protein? I found one on Amazon that is an unflavored whey isolate that I make smoothies with in the morning. I used vanilla flavored whey isolate for three weeks pre-op and for eight weeks after surgery and I couldn't tolerate it by the end of the eighth week. I am now making smoothies using oj or milk, fresh fruit and frozen berries and it goes down real smooth. You have to be careful regarding carbs, especially from the fruit, but my stomach can handle the Protein again.

Try Protein waters like the Syntrax Nectar or Isopure nocarb drinks. You can buy them either online or at Vitamin stores like GNC and Vitamn Shoppe. If the drinks are too thick, add Water or serve over ice.

@@sbagby1960 - your stomach should be healed, so protien bars shouldn't be a problem. Run by GNC and try Isopure. 40g per bottle. Not everyone likes it but it might work for you.

Could you freeze it and make something like a pudding pop? I can't handle anything thick unless it's frozen. I also can't do anything 'sugar free'. Good luck & hope you find a fix. I tried Special K strawberry Protein Bar (meal bar) and it was very tasty. I ate half and my husband ate half.

If it is a consistency of the drink issue, I would add more Water. Doesn't matter how much water you add, as long as you drink it. I make my daily Protein Shakes with 24 oz of water instead of the 8 oz they suggest. I don't like it at a thick consistency, so that helps me,

I have been using the unjury strawberry lemonade powder in my Water bottle. It was fine the first few days but now the sweetness is nauseating to me. This morning I mixed it with greek yogurt and coconut milk in a smoothie and it was MUCH more tolerable. I think the thicker consistency helped me. The powder in nothing but Water was just yucky.

      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
