Protein is very hard to get in for me as well, Protein pudding has been the only way for me to get it down, I had the rny on Jan 22, I’ve lost 35 pounds already, welcome to the site

Hi Thanks for replying, you have done really well! What else has helped and if you dont mind what Protein pudding have you been having? I'm a bit stuck on food choices

1 box sugar free pudding
2 cups skim milk
2 scoops 60g Protein powder

Mix chocolate Protein Powder with the milk and mix well then follow the directions for the instant sugar free pudding box

I usually make this last 2 days so I get 60g protein each day

I also eat scrambled eggs, usually 1/2 to 1 egg

Broiled fish
Chicken salad with light mayo
Egg salad light mayo
Lots of sugar free popsicles
Fat free cheese sticks
Natural apple sauce
Organic 3 Beans in can
Cottage cheese
But I only eat about 1/4 cup at a time

      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. 🤞
