Hi everyone. So my Bypass is scheduled for Wed 7/20 and I’m trying to get everything prepared. Which Protein Shakes is everyone drinking after surgery? I ordered the sample packet of powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, but I have to wait until surgery to order more. I know my taste buds will change and I cannot afford to waste any loot on something I may not like.

Any advice or suggestions for the hospital visit? I also wanted to know what did people buy for their first week post-op?

I drank Premier Protein before surgery and I still drink it nearly every day 11 months post surgery. I find the strawberries and cream flavor to be super gross, but the chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and bananas and cream are all really delicious. I sometimes cut them with milk if I want something of a thinner consistency, and it still tastes great.

As for the hospital stay, I would recommend comfy clothing, chapstick, and wipies.

The first week post op, you may be in a bit of pain/discomfort and might find it easier to sleep in a recliner rather than getting up and down from your bed. I couldn't lay flat for the first several days without a lot of pain, but some other people can deal with it no problem. So just be aware that you may want to do that. :)

Hope this helps! Good luck to you, and see you on the other side. :)

Where did you find the caramel and bananas and cream premier drinks at? I'm scheduled for Aug 5, 2016 trying to get all my stuff together. I've already drink the chocolate.

So i go to my local GNC and they have a return policy, you can try a Protein supplement and if you dont like it you can return for full refund. That is what i have been doing myself :)

I'm jealous! My Sam's had the regular three flavors on sale, but we haven't had the new ones there yet!

      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.
