I am still waiting for my surgery too, but I have been trying different ones to see which ones I like because I know I will be on a 6 week liquid diet (yum?).

I just go to the Vitamin store every week or so and try a few of the pre-mixed cans and plastic bottles they have. I am making a list of the ones I like and don't like. (I figure that the powders of the same brands will taste like the pre-mixed ones)

So far, I like Muscle Milk vanilla and Cake Batter; Oh Yeah banana and Cookies and Cream.

I just got a few bottles of Isopure which I can't wait to taste as they look more like a juice drink than the thick shakes.

Good luck on your Quest, both for Protein shakes and weightloss!

check out the thread, "samples samples samples" - there's a list of places you can call/email for small sample sizes to try out products. Some are free, some ask you to pay shipping, but well worth it.

Thanks - will definately have to check that out. My surgeon's office is big on 'their' Vitamin ... which I did not buy.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
