I have discovered this amazing product called ProYo High Protein Frozen Yogurt. I am 3 days post op and have been able to get 40grams of protein in today eating these alone. Great replacement for the shakes if you are stick of them. Check to see if they are available in your area: http://proyofrozenyogurt.com/where-to-buy/

Note that these contain whey protein concentrate, not whey isolate. Because it's from concentrate, your body is not absorbing the entire 20 grams from one serving. So if you eat two of these, you're probably getting around 30 grams instead of 40. Thanks fro letting me know! Learn something new everyday! I didn't know there was a difference.

I also have lots of acid / heartburn / gas in my stomach. I have taken the Pepcid but I also bought the baby gas drops & double the highest dose (2 syringes). It seems to help some. Was really tired of the minty gasx strips.

I had mine nov 19th. Felt ok the day of, no nausea or really any pain. 2nd day wasn't as great - hurt to drink & I had some mild nausea in the evening. Woke up today (day 3) with no nausea, less pain when drinking. It's more of the gas bubbles & pressure that are annoying. Today I've had a danactive drinkable yogurt (3 oz), premier protein shake (11 oz) and some egg drop soup strained. It really hit the spot. I'm going to try & get one more shake in for 60 grams protein. But no way am I able to get 60 oz fluid yet.

Shane did you take your measurements? I've read many who stall don't see the scale move, but they are losing inches.

I am 6' and CW is 260. 10 years ago I got down to 185 and was a size 10. It was a great weight and size for me. I hope to get there again soon! Surgery Nov 19th.... Here is what 185 looked like for me then: http://bit.ly/1SPclkC http://bit.ly/1kvp5BL

Good luck tbmichaels! Thoughts are with you for a safe surgery & fast recovery. I am Nov 19th with Dr long as well. Keep us posted on your recovery! Sara - so happy to hear you are doing well after surgery! Has the gas subsided? And tips/tricks?
