Premier Protein shakes for me as well. The cheapest place I've found them is Sam's club. Looking forward to trying Cookies and cream next. I haven't found any bars I like.....

I like EAS Advant Edge vanilla Protein Powder. It can be mixed with frozen berries, Peanut Butter powder, yogurt, etc for additional flavors. I haven’t tried it in this brand of powder Protein but, in the past, a I would add some sugar-free Jello Gelatin powder for different flavors. I liked cherry the best.

I’ll have to try that one.

Haha I didn't realize you were from MI too! Oh yeah I love Meijer, closest one to us is about an hour away in Bay City or Saginaw though. Might have to make a trip though!

@Peacock: I really really loved the Nutrisystem ones, and they weren't terrible (200 calories and 11 grams of protein) but someone told me that I should be having 15-20 minimum for a Protein bar.. which really stinks because I actually looked forward to the Nutrisystem Peanut Butter chocolate lunch bars... I'll definitely have to get some premiere!

I like Premier Protein shakes. (I still put caramel flavor shake in my coffee for creamer)
I eat Pure Protein storebrand protein bars....they're not bad. 200 calories. 21g protein.

March 26th for me. Excited and nervous here as well! Good luck[emoji256].

I’m March 9th as well! Where are you located?

Hello, just turned 40 on the weekend and wanted to share some pics. Feeling great and within 5lbs from goal!!
Never felt better and so happy to have been blessed with this RYN and the plastics that I’ve had done. I’m currently in the process of doing research for the second round of plastics!!

I reached my goal and could not be more satisfied! My sleeve was the best decision of my life. 10 months of learning how to use this tool brought me from a size 20 to a size 6.

Hi All,
Just received my insurance approval this morning and got a call from my surgeons office with my surgery date of March 28. I have a pre-op appointment on the 5th and I am so ready to get this done. Not too worried about the 2 week liquid diet as I have slowly been moving in this direction to get my body and mind ready. I have been lucky enough to have already lost almost 40 pounds from the start of my Nut. visits back in October and hope to be down 10 more pounds come surgery day.
This will be my first surgery so I am a bit nervous but I am super motivated.

March 26th here!! Having band to sleeve revision. So happy to be getting the band removed.

I am having the surgery on March 9. I am very nervous/excited also. I would like to have kept my surgery a little more private but have received a lot of advice from a coworker who is a fellow sleever. So instead of assuming they will keep my confidence I have been pretty open about it. Also my mother-in-law, who can't hold Water, saw my obesity surgery folder. Normally I am very private person so this is a little uncomfortable for me, but I am hoping it will help hold me accountable.

I saw these on one of my followers page. They are sold in Sam’s Club only right now. I can’t wait to see if my local club has them. I would love to do a review on VSG journey YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA Especially the Cookies and cream The little things that bring joy lol

I made the mistake of assuming my weight loss would be speedy. Instead, virtually all of my losses were single digit (1 to 7 pounds monthly) and it took me 18 months to lose 100 pounds.
I made the mistake of comparing my weight loss progress to others. The more comparisons I made, the more depressed I became about my snails pace progress.
I made the mistake of concluding I'd be the one anomaly for which the gastric sleeve wouldn't work.
I made the mistake of downplaying the strong genetic component that drives weight loss after bariatric surgery during the first year.
I made the mistake of not having enough faith in the process.
Now it's all Water under the bridge.

2 months post op before and after pics SW 279 Cw 237 it’s been a rough 2 months still trying to get in 64 Fluid ounces a day and 90 grams of Protein but hopefully I’ll start to feel a lot better soon it’s definitely been a journey   

I am scheduled for 1st March at West Medical in Tarzana CA. I am on day 6/14 of the liquid diet and doing great so far.

Me too!

My date is 13 March.

March 1 for me start pre op on Monday since I only have to do 3 days of liquids

March 7th for me. It is starting to get real for me this week! Good luck to everyone and I look forward to cheering each other on!

March 6 here!! Starting preop diet today. I am more nervous about that than I am the surgery...

Im beyond nervous yet so excited for what the future holds for me
