I am June 4th in Michigan! So nervous right now. Any luck finding a good Protein Shake? My first try was awful (premier Protein chocolate) and I have to start my liquids on Monday so I need to find something quick so I can stock up. Good luck on Tuesday! Update me when you can and I will let you know how my surgery is going as well.

HI! Good luck to you as well! I found 2 shake mixes I like. I got both from Amazon. The chocolate one is by Gold Standard. It's 100% whey, 24g Protein per scoop. The other is vanilla and it's by Isopure. It's more expensive but yummy! It has 25g protein per scoop. My dietician also recommended a product called PB2, it's a dry Peanut Butter. YUM O! It adds protein and makes the drinks extra yummy. I also found a shake recipe book "The Bariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes" and another book "Weight Loss Surgery Cookbook for Dummies". Both have really good recipes. I also bought some extracts to add flavor. The first book calls for a lot of them to make up different flavors. I just ordered a flavor free Protein Powder to add to puddings and stuff. I'm going to make some pureed stuff and freeze it over the next few days. I'll let you know how that goes.

I'm new at this blogging stuff but I'll do my best to follow you as well. I have to have some support from others because the hospital I am having this done at is a good 2 hours from my house. There's no way I can get there biweekly for the support group..

I was told to do HIGH Protein, low carb, low calorie and LOTS of Water. Not doing strict liquids at all. And I am taking a chewable for women to get used to the chewable part for the first 2 weeks when you cannot have any big pills.< /p>

But I may start the all liquids now that I've read all this! I sure don't want there to be ANY reason to have them not do my surgery on the day scheduled!

I wasn't instructed go do all liquids either so it's a relief to see another person that hasn't been on a pre-op liquid diet. My sleeve is scheduled for June 4th!!! I'm so nervous but I'm excited too! I enjoy the Rockin Refuel Protein Drinks. Good idea with the unflavored Protein powder, I'll have to look into that. I also ordered a couple cookbooks for after the surgery! Feel free to talk to me anytime you need, no one can ever have enough support!!!

Hi! I've been lurking for a while. My surgery is the 4th. I've been on my pre-op diet for a week now and it's rough! Tomorrow is my pre-op at the hospital. I feel like I should be doing stuff around the house to get ready but am completely braindead on what. Anyone else feel like that?

My surgery is on the 4th as well, And Yes I have moments When I can't think. I feel brain dead. This is my my 5th day of 10 day liquid diet, I'm have way there, I just wish my brain would wake up. As long as I'm moving I'm fine but when dinner time comes my brain do what ever it want. :-)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
