Recommended Posts

im excited, but a little nervous. my question right now for you wonderful people is this.. what is the best and most cost effective clear Liquid Protein option for me to try while on my 7 - 10 day clear liquid post op diet? ive read and re read everything they have given me, and i just think instead of eating Jello and broth and diluted juices that i would rather have something i know is good for my body. i just figured that having the Protein wouldnt hurt anything, but since i am impatient and plan on asking about it in the morning i thought some of you may have some advice and insight for me right now. thanks!!!

My doctor recommended Isopure. Got it at GNC. Needed 80 grams of Protein a day, so 2 bottles every day. Did that for 4 days when I got home from surgery. Started full liquids today.

Today is the day!!! Congrats!

Make sure to walk, walk, walk ASAP after you wake up. Moderate pain now saves a lot of pain later.

I think you will find that everyone is different- including your before and after taste-buds. I loved a certain Protein shake before, now I can't stomach it. The good thing is that the liquid diet is only for a week or so, so you'll be ok.

BTW I like Jay Robb whey Protein vanilla. :)

I agree. Before my operation I thought that Premier Protein shakes were pretty decent.

Now they taste like chemicals to me. Blech!

My advice is to just buy a sample of every kind. Unfortunately, I loaded up on these shakes, am now stuck with them (I won't drink 'em), and out a pretty penny.

Good luck and I'd go for Isopure post op as it's got great Protein (40g) and tastes pretty good.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
