Mushy diet- I hate water and protein shake



Recommended Posts

Crystal light saved me! I actually love Water but have been surprised how little I drink. I switched to Crystal Light and can power through so much more water now. The Protein shakes--just keep trying different flavors until you find a good one. I did find that the vanilla mixed with pineapple juice tastes like a Pina Colada but we're really not supposed to have juice. but, it does help with getting the protein in

I could not stand my Protein drink I used pre-surgery and immediately following surgery (Shaklee). I now use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and Inspire which are not chalky and have good flavor but are on the sweeter side so I mix with coffee and milk.

Why does it have to be Crystal Light?

I will try very hard to get at least one premiere Pro Tien strawberries and cream drink down, it gives you 30 g of Protein. You can get unflavored Protein powder and mix it with cream-based Soup or broth to get additional Protien. If you're using crystal light with your Water you should dilute it, because although it is sugarfree, according to my dock too much is not good, it should be diluted. Flavored waters that you do yourself with fresh rosemary fresh meant lemons and cucumbers is very good. You could purchase one of those nice drink dispensers and do something different each day and drink on it. Get your Vitamins and your Protein in every day with a total of at least 64 ounces of Fluid, so important.

@@Fettchick83 It doesn't HAVE to be Crystal Light. I'm only saying what I am doing. There are many other similar options.

      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. 🤞
