Good deal.

It's always great to find new sources of Protein that you like.

I've been very fortunate in that I've had great results with a dozen different Protein powders and pre-mixed drinks that I've tried.

There has only been one that I never, ever want to taste again and it is unjury strawberry flavor. Never again. Tossed a brand new can in the garbage. I really like their chocolate and their unflavored.....but never again on the strawberry.< /p>

That one is awful!!! I sent that and the vanilla back, they are supposed to be sending my the chocolate one in there place. I also like the chicken Soup one, I now add soft carrots and a little chicken for meals.

I just got my sample pack of the Syntrax Nectar flavors, I'm hoping I find a winner in one of these! The milky flavors just aren't cutting it for me, if none of these work then I'm going to pick up a few bottles of the Isopure.< /p>

Thanks for input. My surgery is Monday and I'm the first one. So excited, BUT A Bit scared! Not about actual surgery as I am an old OR nurse and I have friends that are like my family taking care of me. Worried about drinking afterwards, I drink really fast! Everyone says that I will figure it out and take little sips. We shall see, huh? Wt loss was good in preoperative diet, no chewing, lost 8# in 4 days, but then broke my scale, lol. Guess who's going scale shopping tomorrow!

I find it very interesting that we have a large number of health care professionals having weight issues. Perhaps no time for ourselves taking care of others? Or stress plus no lunch breaks, eating pizza? Hmmmmm. J/w

Practice now. Pre-op we were instructed to practice taking really small bites and eating slow & sipping slowly when drinking. It made it easier postop

I haven't tried the strawberry kiwi yet! I heard great things about the fuzzy navel so I was excited to try it and so far I've liked it the least! I'm drinking the cherry right now and it's not too bad, I think if I mixed it in to a cherry crystal light it would be something I could drink regularly. I'll be trying the strawberry kiwi tomorrow when I start my pre-op diet

      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.
