I hate chocolate too for the most part.

I used unflavored powder with broth. I got sick of drink sweet stuff.

There is also a lot of variety in the Syntrax Nectars.

Quest Caramel Powder (comes in single serve envelopes if you just want to try one), 1 cup of cold coffee. Ice. 28 G Protein caramel frappucino. You're welcome. (I add Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup to mine.) (I was allowed regular coffee, but you can use decaf.)

I use a lot of coffee house type syrups (sugar free) to flavor vanilla. This morning, I had 8 ounces of Fairlife Skim milk, 1/2 cup frozen tropical fruits, 1 scoop vanilla Protein Powder and a couple squirts of coconut sugar free syrup. Blender. 31 grams of protein. Using 1/2 cup of frozen fruit should be OK with your plan, but check with your team.

There's a great frozen mix at my supermarket that is blueberries and pomegranate. I use 1/4 to 1/2 cup of that with vanilla powder and Water or milk, depending on mood.

I still drink a shake for Breakfast most mornings and I'm 13 months and 102 pounds out. It is easier for me when I'm busy and I can drink it in the car while dropping kid at school and commuting to office. My other two go-tos are

Chocolate powder, water, 1 tablesppon of PB2, caramel syrup, ice. Snickers shake

Vanilla powder, coconut milk, frozen mango and pineapple (about 1/2 cup) coconut syrup. Tropical delight

Take a look at pinterest - there are so many ideas there. It does get better.

Ok so my very favorite is my green smoothie. Don't know if you're allowed to have spinach or blueberries if they are blenderized to smithereens or not? If not, maybe you can use powdered spinach from vitacost? I keep meaning to try my spinach powder in it. I do it two ways: with/without powdered Peanut Butter.

Green Smoothie:

1/2-1 scoop (16-32g) Isopure Bananas and Cream Protein powder

1 oz frozen blueberries

1 1/2 oz frozen chopped spinach

5g whole psyllium husks, Now brand (or equivalent in Benefiber)

6g Peanut Butter Slim, Vitacost brand powdered peanut butter (has less sugar/carbs than PB2)

12oz ice Water

4 cubes ice

Blend the crap out of it. It's fabulous! It's not very sweet, so if you want it sweeter, then add a couple of drops of vanilla stevia.

(Because I'm still pre-surg I don't need to have as much protein out of a Protein Drink, so I opt for the 16g of the protein powder. If you use the full scoop, it may be sweeter.)

      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
