Sorry if this has been asked a zillion and one times... I'm so nervous about drinking the Protein Shakes. shakes in general (unless legit milk shakes from restaurants) make me gag. I am pre-surgery and would like to start trying shakes now so that I can find one or two brands and flavors that I can tolerate or might actually like.

Anyone have any suggestions of brands?

I second Premier Protein. 30 grams of Protein and doesn't taste bad at all. When I get tired of the flavors offered (chocolate, vanilla, etc) I just mix the vanilla in a blender with frozen mango, frozen blueberries, etc to create my own new flavor.

Low fat Muscle Milk is okay , but I actually like the banana cream by Premier the best.

Premier Protein Shakes are the best so far and advanced body fortress powder from Wal-Mart is also pretty good and have 30 grams of Protein and body fortress powder has 60 protein. Pre op I am told we need to drink Atkins shakes because we need to drink 60 grams of protein so we need to drink five shakes a day of 15 grams of protein 5 times a day plus 60 ounces of Water.< br>

If you don't like "shakes" try the Syntrax Nectar. I bought the variety pack to try them all. Flavors like lemonade, iced tea, fuzzy navel. They aren't creamy, more like a regular beverage. I mix them with ice and Water, they are 100 calories, sugar free and 23g Protein. I'm pre op and just giving them a try to see what I like, and so far, so good. [emoji1303]

I was drinking the lean shake from GNC for a long time over a year but now I'm in bulking up mode at the gym and I cant drink the thick milky stuff for working out I found a Water based Protein taste like kool aide no sugar added 20 grams of protein its called isolate ZERO pina colada is the bomb so give that a shot if you don't like the thick milky stuff

      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.
