Georgia Smith reacted to Maisey in Powder protien Drinks or Ready to Drink
I use 99% powder. Equate (Wal Mart) is cheap and my favorite. I put the powder, some ice and Fairlife fat free milk in the blender and it whips up light and frothy. The blender makes the difference. It is not nearly as good in a shaker.
The scoop inside the container will give you the amount and calories.
I keep a limited number of Premier Protein premade shakes on hand in case I need to grab something quickly. Even if I buy a four-pack, I find I tire of any flavor quickly.

After your surgery and on your way to a thinner and healthier life, did any of you use an app to help you keep on track to reach your goals? Which apps did you use? There are a lot of choices and many of them seem similar.

Two popular choices are MyFitnessPal and Baritastic. I just started a thread on this this morning.

It will come quick! I know I’m so nervous about the pre-op testing as well! Yes, me too!

My surgery is scheduled for June 3! Fingers crossed that there are no problems with the pre-op testing because I'm ready to do this!

Hi Everyone,
I finally got my surgery date for June 8!!!
It’s really strange to me how excited I am about this!
I would love to share this journey with others scheduled in June!
I think it would be so helpful if we can help each other through this experience!

Georgia Smith reacted to wordsthatrhyme in What post-op diet did your surgeon/nutritionist put you on, and what is your current success/failure result years later?
I had the gastric sleeve performed in July of 2017. The post-op diet consisted of 500 - 600 calories, less than 15 total carbs, and as little fat as possible. This was to be followed until you reached the end goal weight.
My surgeon's goal wait for me was 130 lbs, which is at the higher range of a normal BMI for my 5-ft 1-in height. When I followed that plan I lost weight, but after following it for about a year, it got to be too much like torture, and as soon as I started falling off of the diet, I fell really hard.
I started eating junk food and carbs/snacks every 30 minutes to every 2 hours and I gained all of the weight I lost after surgery back (I'm thankfully still below my highest weight). I've been unable to stick to a diet for longer than 3 days since. So I'm just curious what other surgeons / nutritionists recommended for other patients and whether they are success stories or failure stories, like mine. I'm hoping to model my diet towards the more successful options and see if that is more obtainable in the long run. Thank you all for your responses! Have a great day!
