IF you can eat asparagus (yes, it fibrous), you can get a lot of Protein from that as well as tuna.< /p>

Thanks for the suggestions. Asparagus, no, but I had forgotten about what a good choice tuna is. Thanks again.

buy unflavored Protein powder and add it to whatever is possible. Gravy, Soup, stew, Beans, cottage cheese, oatmeal, cream of wheat, hot chocolate, etc. I'm not allowed to have Protein Shakes except after vomiting or PB and for 24 hours after a fill. Other than that I have to eat REAL protein. I can't eat a lot of it though, as it constipates me horribly. I do better with a balanced diet.

SIL and everyone, thanks for the great ideas. I use Unjury Protein and I put it in my coffee once and it was like lumps of Jello in it. What protein powder you use for your oatmeal and coffee? Thanks, everyone, for your help.

I buy champion whey Protein in vanilla and mix it with 8 ounces of Water and a crystal light packet. It tastes like a yummy cream drink. VERY tolerable!

ps... mix it with tap or cool Water and THEN refridgerate, if you want it ice cold. If you try to mix Protein with hot or very cold liquids, it does get lumpy or grainy.

Just keep the hot liquids under 130 degrees and then you can mix in the protien powder. Any hotter than that and you get the lumps. I got a cheap thermometer at the Mart and use it all the time. Now I get perfect moist chicken every time too and never have to worry if I have cooked it enough. No more over cooked dry anything. And its handy for mixing protien powder into my coffee and Soups.< /p>

I have BeneProtein, which is 6 grams of Protein per scoop with 25 calories and no carbs. It can be mixed with anything wet or mushy! I discovered this on my own and even took my nutritionist by surprise when I told her about it.

Thanks. I'm gonna google that and see where I can get it. I had to have a 1.5 cc unfill yesterday, so I am on liquids right now, but I will need the additional Protein soon.

When was your last fill? I guess what I am asking is how long after your last fill did it take to know you needed an unfill?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
