Oh the sucks. It has been a long time since I had it. I switched to Protein bars once I was on solid foods because I was SO DONE with shakes by then!

Yea, it really does/did suck! LOL. I am not opposed to trying another vanilla isolate whey but don't even know where to start because there are so many. costco just happened to be sampling a vanilla whey isolate yesterday and OMG it was sickeningly sweet. Ick.

I bought Now Sports unflavored whey isolate and just added sugar-free syrups to flavor it.

Have you tried the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury vanilla whey isolate powder? It has excellent reviews.

@@lupita19, Good questions. You basically want to get high Protein, low carb, low sugar shakes. They’ll help shrink your liver so surgery is safer. The exact brand isn’t that important as long as it’s high Protein and low carb. Just get one that you like, and feel free to choose a cheap brand!

There aren’t many “food liquids” that you can have on a liquid diet, but you can probably have Gelatin and pudding. You may be able to have juice, but ask your doctor because it’s high in sugar.

Be sure you stay hydrated during this time, too! Don’t just focus on protein – also focus on getting enough fluids.

Good luck with your surgery!

I'm allergic to sucralose and aspartame so I use Betty Lou's low glycemic chocolate. I have also tried the Tera's whey grass fed whey Protein and it's not delightful.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
