So I have been searching high and low for shakes that do not contain milk products or soy because I am allergic to both of them and I have found some! :laugh: Now I won't spend my 3 weeks of pre-op diet puking my guts out, which was what I was anticipating. I haven't actually tried any of it yet, but I'm going to be adventurous and give it a whirl tonight. I got the vanilla chai flavour, which sounds pretty darn yummy. I'll let you know how it tastes. They also come in the more conventional chocolate, vanilla and mixed berry flavours. They are pricey, but I'm willing to throw in a few extra shillings to not have to be tossing my Cookies for three solid weeks.

I have been using the Nutiva Hemp Protein powder with fiber and its great! Especially in some chocolate soymilk or with juice! Check with a site called vitacost, they have the 3lb bag cheap! :thumbup:

Sadly I am unable to use any of those. I had a new bump in the pre-op road which cut out all of the Protein Shakes. I can tolerate Isopure to a degree, but I've had to go back to basic starvation, the oldest diet in the book.

      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. 🤞
