Try the powdered boost the chocolate is the best. Just add a scoop to 2% milk and it is just like drinking chocolate milk it doesnt have as much protien as the Protein Shakes but it will get you through.

can you blend them with ice. they taste much better really cold. Or add a few strawberries and blend to give a better taste?

By tolerate do you mean the taste or are you vomiting them up being unable to physically tolerate them? If it is just taste then try some different ones. I find Muscle Milk vanilla Creme doesn't have much of "that" taste and Unjury unflavored doesn't either. Adding fruit and ice does help with the taste as well. Just experiment til you find something that will work for you. It is important for healing to get in your Protein.< /p>

I'm on my pre op as well. They've been making me nautious as well although I think for a different reason. Someone suggested to me on here to try carnation instant Breakfast. I had some today mixed with skim milk and I really liked it! Plus, with the skim milk, it has 14 grams of Protein. Good luck!

If you have a juicer try making some fresh strained juice for yourself. If it's to thick, you can Water it down.

For now as long as you get some fluids, and stay hydrated.

I couldn't stand the Protein Shakes that I had to drink pre-op...so the second week post op I drank Jugo juice Protein shakes (Tropical Protein is wonderful). I could only drink about half of one at a time, but they really hit the spot and are very healthy as well. I would only drink a maximum of one of these Jugo Juice shakes per day and I also drank 1% milk (which has similar amounts of calories, carbs, fat and protein as the protein shakes without the gross taste, weird smell and texture). I would also make cream Soups (milk plus pureed vegetables) for a change. Hope this helps...Good luck!

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
