Sick of cold and sweet



Recommended Posts

I started my pre-op diet on Monday and am already dreading drinking more cold, sweet Protein Shakes. I know this is just the beginning though, so I’m looking for some good Protein mixers that are more on the savory side. Something warm would be a bonus too! I’ve heard using broth with unflavored protein works well. Just wondering if there are any other suggestions out there. Thanks in advance!

I pour the pre-mixed shakes into my coffee. That way I can get something reasonably hot and the coffee really helps cut the gross sweet taste.

Protein mugcakes is my go to protein recipe (Google it there's tons of them)

My personal favorite is 1 scoop of Protein Powder (syntrax matrix) 1 tablespoon coconut flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a little skim milk to get it all mixed (until it's dissolved and a thick mix)

Microwave 30-60 seconds based on preference.

Now your protein is hot and cakey. Plus it's delicious, and it's not sweet at all

I do this every morning! I do 1/2 caramel Premier Protein, 1 cup of coffee (decaf)and it tastes great! I do this twice a day and it makes me happy :)

GENEPRO sold in the bariatric store, can be added to tea, broth, Soup. It mixes in nicely.

I’ve never tried that brand before, so I’ll have to try it out. Thank you for the suggestion!

That does sound good! I love coffee, so I’m betting I’ll love that too.

I’ve never heard of those before! I’ll definitely be googling them tonight though. Thank you for the suggestion!

      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.
