Try almond milk with your Protein powder. That's what I used when I was drinking them and it tasted better than milk.

My program recommends no fruit or vegetables until week 8. They want us to start out by focusing on Protein and they are right, IMHO. It didn't have anything with getting fat from fruit the way they explained it to us. There is no way I would be getting all my Protein in right now if I was trying to eat fruits or vegetables on top of it and protein is extremely important as your body is learning a new way to get energy. Last thing I want to do is lose muscle instead of fat because I'm not getting enough protein. But goes to show how different programs are.

Throwing out another Protein shake idea -- I love GNC's Lean shake 25 -- with 25 grams of Protein and 170 calories. And it's lactose-free.

If you get a GNC membership, you can get a discounted price on multiple cases of the shakes so they're less than $2 apiece.

I love the Swiss chocolate flavored ones. Mmm - mmm!

And yeah, fruit isn't what makes kids fat.

(Apparently, a lotta docs get out of medical school without passing "Nutrition 101." Sheez.)

children are NOT fat from eating fruit.

they are fat from eating too much sugar and processed foods. but not from eating real food.

This!

And because high fructose corn Syrup is in EVERYTHING. Including children's Tylenol.

      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. 🤞
