And I see in our area both Speedway and Kroger handle them, how do they compare with the other Protein Drinks cost-wise? As an example Premier Protein is usually $7.27 at Wal-Mart.🌸🌺🌱🌺🌸😛

Do you have a Sam's club nearby? They have the 12 packs of Premier Protein for $16.

You and the prediet are going to be fine. My favorites so far, Peaches and. cream Premier Protein , Blueberry Muscle Milk, Svelte French vanilla, and in 4th place caramel Premier Protein . Have also tried Eqaute shakes from Walmart, $2 cheaper but one fault I find. I think they have a. processed evaporated milky undertaste, I can't eat anything chocolate because of allergies but. I am sure the Cookies and Cream would be very good.
I found a liquid Calcium at Walmart, brand is Wellnesse, cost under $10 , citrus flavor and it is calcium citrate, like we are supposed to have instead of Carbonate.

Your program should have a list of approved shakes you can have. I like to use Unjury they have shakes, chicken Soup and unflavored Protein Powder.

I found this great Protein powder that is 25g of protein per 6oz., 0 sugars and 1g of carbs. It's by Dymatize and I got it in the classic chocolate flavor. It tastes really good and it's not heavy or thick tasting.

You two will do great! I started the pre-op diet this past Monday but wasn't supposed to start until today. My surgery is June 25th. It was tough the first day and believe me I can feel my tummy growling at times, but keeping full and hydrated with Water help. I think I'm beginning to get the hang of it. I just have all my mini meals/snacks scheduled daily to the minute. Haha! Bonus - I'm down 6 lbs. YAY!

Thank you and nice with the weight loss! I’m expected to drink 3 Protein Shakes a day and have two 100 calorie yogurts in between. Two shakes are super filling to me though so I have no idea how I’m going to pull this off, lol. Best wishes on your surgery! So close!

You can do it! The Protein Shakes are pretty low cal, so I think you'll find you'll be ready for the next shake when it's time. I love the Light & Fit Dannon Yogurts. They only have like 7 grams of sugar and I want to say 80 calories? There are some yummy flavors like strawberry cheesecake and lemon meringue pie. They taste like dessert.

I can't believe our dates are almost here. It's really sinking in. :o:D

The strawberry cheesecake light and fit is my absolute favorite! And I don’t really have a big appetite in the first place so that is a lot for me. I did the Protein Shakes in place of two meals a day while I was seeing the nutritionist and even waiting a couple of hours and not having a snack in between, I had a hard time getting a second shake down because I was still full from the first. And time is flying! Our new lives will be starting soon. I finished packing my hospital bag this past weekend, I’m that ready, lol

You go girl! It's amazing how much Protein will keep you filled. I'll make a list and pack this weekend. I don't think I'll be bringing too much. Can't believe our day is almost here.

Protein is so ridiculously filling but I love that it’s filling! In my hospital bag I have 3 days worth of loose comfy clothes, a pair of slippers, a pair of flip flops, gas x, a tooth brush, tooth paste, and deodorant. So pretty much the essentials, lol

        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
