Hi! I use a ton of different ones
I use bariactic fusion, biopro, Celebrate, syntrex, Quest and my newest one is snickerdoodle it'd the GNC one that is by far my favorite. I always have different ones in the house so it doesn't get boring.

Motivation is what got you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

I use Bio Chem, the absolute best on the market. I won't touch anything else after my surgery. Right now ( pre op ) I use premier but it has sugar and I won't want that after.

I have spent too much trying to find the perfect tasting and mixing Protein. My ABSOLUTE favorite is Dymatize ISO-100 Birthday Cake flavor 100% Whey Protein Isolate. This mixes very well with Fairlife milk and taste great. I add a banana and/or strawberries and it tastes just like a banana split. I get it from both The Vitamin Shoppe and/or GNC depending on the cost. I did not like any of the nectar brand flavors I tried. I also don't like the taste of the GNC 100% whey protein nor did it mix well for me. I will add od power to unflavored Unjury and it's ok.

We have a herb a life shake shop nearby and I can get them made to order. Also use the powder at home Just be careful not to put a lot of stuff with sugar etc bananas are the Snickers of fruit [emoji529][emoji529]

        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
