Every Protein Shake I have tried tastes terrible to me. I am almost a week out. Anyone have any good suggestions? I have been eating cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and Soups that are all liquified down, but really struggling to get my Proteins and Water in. My mid-back aches and I just don't feel hungry. I am starting to feel a little weak. I have only urinated twice today. Anyone have any good advice?

Hi, yes I do have something for you. It's called Protein Milk shake Bar. It has 22g of protein. They have a variety of flavors. vanilla Caramel & Rocky Road are very good. They are not yucky or gritty. I have used it with Water & with milk, it's good either way. I get mine through Amazon, but here is their e mail address.......www.proteinmilkshakebar.com phone..1-888-582-2580. Believe me I have tried several and this brand is by far the best. Trust me on this!! Good Luck!!!

Did you try Protein Water? I am preop and cannot stand the taste of protein mix or premade shakes. The water I use has 15g of protein in each serving and comes in different flavors.

I Hated almost everyone I tried. The only one that was palatable to me was Isopure. Make sure you get the no carb one. Grape and orange, to ME, were the best. I didn't like the powder. And they tasted better cold.

The thing about Protein is it's important to our survival after this surgery. Water, Vitamins and protein are our 3 must always do's. They sustain our heart function and brain function along with helping aide us in weight loss and weight management. If you notice yourself being tired or loosing hair or scatter brained or gaining weight check yourself and ask am I drinking 80oz of water every day? Am I taking the dr recommended vitamins? Am I drinking 25 grams of protein 2x a day? I have learned when anything is off inside me I am slacking off on one of those things!

These are the ones I have used-Pure Protein (Walmart, Costco), Click (The Vitamin Shoppe, Drink Click online) and Inspire (bariatriceating.com)

I would also go to Bariatric Foodie site. She has many recipes to improve the taste of your Protein Shakes plus a great book called "The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes". It is well worth the price. Without this book I am not sure I would have survived the protein shakes.

Best of luck. Hope this helps.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
