Hi Everyone!

I am at the start of my journey- I have had my pre-op stuff done, and I am getting ready for my psych-eval next week. We should be setting a surgery date soon after that.

I am very concerned about the Protein Shakes etc.

I have tried different ones off and on over the last few years. But they all make me sick to my stomach. I am not lactose intolerant (heavens knows I can eat ice cream!). SO I am looking for suggestions. I have been reading a lot, and people tend to recommend Unjury. Has anyone tried the Protein stuff from Celebrate? What do you think? Thanks!

I started my pre-op liquid diet this past week and I'm drinking the Premier Protein chocolate drinks and I think they are pretty good. I haven't tried any others yet. For the pre-op my Doc only gave me 4 options to choose from (Premier, Ensure, Slim Fast high Protein, and a bariatric powder that's only available online) and the Premier seemed to be the highest rated on the message boards so that's what I went with. I was planning on getting a mix of different types for post op to see what I liked the best for afterward. I'm curious to see what answers you get here!

I tried sooooo many Protein Drink post op and pre op, I threw so much money away. I could just not find the right one, until I tried Premier Protein in chocolate it's by far the best tasting. I fill my Protein shaker with ice then pour the shake in and I'm ready. It really is Delish! Low in sugar and calories and high in protein. You can find the big case at costco or smaller trial ones at Walmart, WinCo, etc and they also have them in vanilla and strawberry.

I to have tried the Premier Protein shakes. I think they taste good. They just make me sick to my stomach. So I am hoping to find one that tastes good and doesn't make me sick. Any ideas?

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
