What do you do when you can't stand Protein Shakes and sugar free anything.... so afraid this won't work.

Find something that you can stand. There are so many different brands of Protein these days it's crazy. Experiment and find what you like. I find it hard to believe that you dislike **ALL** Proteins and **ALL** sugar free stuff.

I literally do not like anything SF, so it is possible. My surgery is coming up and I have a plan to use honey, only slight amount, as I don't like really sweet drinks. I will transition to a small amount of frozen fruit.

You can do it with some small tweaks. Best wishes!

I would not suggest using a sugar substitute that is really just sugar by another name (it may slow down progress)

There are a plethora of non sugar substitutes, made from plants, fruits and vegetables, or in a lab. Try one until it fits.

The other viable choice is no sugar substitutes at all. You're sweet enough 🌈

Safe Journey!

I was not a big Protein Shake lover. And everyone seems to be stuck on Premier Protein, which I was not a big fan of. I only really like 2 flavors of premier Protein, the caramel and the strawberry. I was advised to go online and order some samples of different kinds and try them out. I also went to the local GNC and Vitamine Shop and picked out some sample packs to try out. It's usually not very expensive to purchase sample packs ($5 or less) and gives you the opportunity to try out some different brands and flavors, to find some you like. I also researched different additives that I may be able to add to make the shakes more palatable without over-sweetening. Adding some low carb low sugar, non-seed fruit is a big help. this may work for you, just keep in mind to review your carbs and sugar grams additives may add to the shake you select.

      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.
