try Premier Protein peaches and cream,I got them for my in-case shelf where all the pre surgery items are,kept. Still not giving up on late Spring-Early Summer for me. Anyhow last week I was running late for PCP appointment. Hadn't ate so,popped one open. Not bad at all, very faint evaporated milk aftertaste. I'm sure I will loathe such things before pre and post [emoji40] surgery diets are finished but I could stand this one. I'm allergic to chocolate and so many use that for a shake flavor, I like strawberry now, but every day? Maybe not, cross that bridge when my road opens back up.. Soon and very soon is my deepest hope. [emoji12]

Try Quest banana cream it’s awesome IMG_2627.JPG
It’s so yummy. And often I just make s with Water. They use real freeze dried bananas in is so good

Hi. I had my sleeve done a week ago today. Please try not to be nervous. I'm sure it will all go fine. My advice would be to tell you to get up and walk walk walk has soon as they let you! It really does help with the gas pain. By this time next week you will be feeling happy you had it done!

I have found that I love Syntrax Nectar. The unflavored dissolves well and I can add it to my crystal light or Soup or whatever. (I haven't had my sleeve yet, but I am getting ready) The fuzzy navel is really good too. There are about 15 flavors, but I have not tried any others. They even have a sample pack. I will say the unflavored is only 10 g Protein per scoop. The fuzzy navel and other flavors have 23g per scoop. https://www.si03.com/nectar.php

This is the Syntrax site and great for info. Amazon has it a lot cheaper.

The purpose of the pre-op diet is ketosis which shrinks the liver. The liquid diet was tough for me since I don’t enjoy the Protein Drinks. I did, however, stick with a high Protein and no carb diet during the pre-op and lost weight, and the surgeon said my liver looked great.

Had my pre op appointment today! I am extremely surprised that my surgeon has me on a liquid diet only 24 hours before surgery. Thoughts???

I believe from others comments here that not all surgeons do preop to shrink liver so he must only do clear fluids day before to have a clean clear stomach.

That was my experience too! I had no problems. By chance do you have Kaiser?

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

        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.

      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
