New here doing Protein Shakes this week surgery is scheduled for July 18th. I am starving! Anyone else doing the Bariatric Advantage shakes.

@pumpkinlocks Yes im on the Protein Shakes right now, for three weeks (cries)! I actually like the Bariatric Advantage but I am allowed to make mine with unsweetened Almond Milk, then I freeze it for 30 mins so its like "ice cream" LOL! I have the banana, chocolate, and vanilla. Sometimes I mix it up and do banana and choc together, choco and vanilla, etc. The Vanilla is a little plain so I threw in some cinnamon and vanilla extract.

I got my call to be there at 9:10 so we will be in surgery around the same time. :)

I’m grossed out drinking the premier protein-ugh. I’m having a really hard time on the pre-surgery liquid diet. You said you think the Protein Shakes Body Fortress tastes better?

thanks!! Megan

Less sweet and no nasty fake sugar after taste but it is still a Protein Shake so it's not like it's from Dairy Queen. If you like almond milk I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk. I've made it with skim milk and with Water. All 3 are good but the almond milk was the best. Good luck!!!

Tomorrow is 4 weeks until the liquid diet and 6 weeks until surgery. I'm counting down every day!

Today I was bad and ate a few things I shouldn't have but since I won't be able to eat them after surgery I just had to have it now. I know that's a terrible way to think. Back to healthy eating tomorrow!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
