Hey Kathy! Try the Oh32 from The Vitiman Shoppe there on Cooper, they have them pre-mixed. Are you still on the shake? For how much longer? After the 23 of this month I have to stop drinking them. Since I will be on full foods at that point. Good Luck. We need to plan lunch some time. I think Jason's by the mall would be good! ~ Mis

I am in the same boat. I was gagging on all the Protein Drinks. Someone suggested that I get a few of the extracts to add different flavor so I got some vanilla, cherry, almond and banana. They are really helping me. Today I made a shake with vanilla Unjury, vanilla yogurt, a tiny bit of cherry extract and some skim milk and it was delicious! I bought some Syntrax Nectar in the caribbean cooler flavor and added sugar free pineapple juice to it and it's pretty good too. Also, someone suggested drinking them in "sippy" type cups (travel coffee mug) so you can't smell it and it makes a HUGE difference for me.

I hope some of this helps. I was just banded on the 14th so I'm learning as I go along just like you.

I couldn't do the Protein Drinks at all - not even the carnation stuff. so somone told me to drink extra milk (more calories) but i get in my Protein then - i use skim plus milke and good old fashioned Quick - gets me 11grams protein each glass 4 a day does the trick!

Not for everyone but it worked for me.

I made a mushy tuna casserole tonight. I used egg noodles, tuna, peas, low-fat cheese etc. If you like these things it's not that hard to make and freezes well. Let me know if you want my recipe and I'll send to you.

      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. 🤞
