I've been collecting products since before my first appointment 10/30/18; I know that many people caution against buying so much ahead of time, but I like having options and I understand my taste buds may change after surgery. I am using a lot of the products in the two plus months before surgery.

Wow! That's what I call prepared. I found a Protein before surgery I liked and after surgery I can't stand the smell of whey.

They're not kidding when they say your tastes change. I had to take it all to my support group and give it away. Also, Water tasted sweet after I got out of surgery.

Good luck.

Ps tried my favorite drink yesterday from Starbucks and it just doesn't taste the same. Mango dragonfruit.

Oh wow, you are more than ready. The only thing I've purchased so far is a box of Premier Protein shake and box of of Bone Broth Soup. I will do a bigger shopping after my pre op class with the nutritionist. I like the water bottle with the time time and ounces.

That's alot of RTD Protein Drinks and shakes must cost a ton.

I've been buying bulk Protein Powder and bulk Vitamins and finding air tight containers on special whenever I can...

I've been reading everything I can find, here and on Facebook. I know RTD drinks are more expensive but I've always had issues getting the powders to mix properly, I don't have the patience!

I have stocked my freezer with homemade Soups. I froze them at different stages. I kept some as broth, and blended some for puree,and then some as is. I used homemade chicken Soup, and homemade stew. For puree soups, I also made a creamy Tomato and a squash soup. I was going to make pinto Beans and freeze at the different stages, but I've read that beans are not good to have after surgery.

CalGal I'm sure your homemade Soups will be way better than my packaged soups!

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

        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
