OK, I have been trying to get prepped for surgery and found Stacker 2 Protein Water online.....but I dont wanna buy a whole bunch and it taste like crap...does anyone know where you can buy this at I havent seen it anywhere.....also is this a good source for protein? I also have Proteinex but it tastes HORRIBLE. Here are the stats on the Stacker 2 Protein water for 1 bottle:

protein 20g

carbs 0

sugar 0

Calories 80

They make pink lemonade, grape, sour apple, and thats all i have seen

I personally think they taste like shit, but a lot of people in my support group like them. You can buy them at Meijer if you have one near you. I think the grape is the worst but the sour apple and pink lemonade are drinkable if they are freezing cold and there is nothing else available.

I forget who told me about this, but I found this New Whey liquid Protein at smoothie King. It is $3.31 for 2.9 Fluid oz. I had the fruit punch. It doesn't taste great, but it isn't horrible, IMHO. I had another person taste it and he said it tasted like cherry Kool-Aid.

This little test tube like package holds 25 grams of Protein. They have another just like it that holds 42 grams. I ordered a dozen of those from Bodybuilders.com - The Largest Bodybuilders Site Online. For Bodybuilders, By Bodybuilders. for $36 which includes the shipping. As soon as I get one of those, I'll let you know how it compares.

I kind of think of it like medicine. Some medicines don't taste good, but the sooner you can get it down, the sooner you'll feel better.

New Whey Liquid Protein is made by IDS Sports which can be found at :: Innovative Delivery Systems - Welcome to IDS Sports ::. I like the fact that it gives me a lot of protein pre-mixed in a small amount of liquid.< /p>

Good Luck!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
