Please tell me what your drinking? I'm three weeks out and need a good Protein Shake to get this going. Also, I been reading about everyone getting stuck, etc.. I have no yet had a fill and only banded on the 6th and can eat soft foods now but I feel like I can eat anything. Everything I had so far seems to go down fine, is this because I don't' have a fill did I stretch my band out?? I'm so worried.. I wont' be getting a fill until April 9th :(

I go to the Vitamin Shoppe to buy Protein Powder. I joined their frequent buyer program (though I don't buy that much there) because they send coupons through the mail. My doctor wants patients to use whey isolate which is a higher quality Protein. Not all protein powder is created equal so look for Isolate in the ingredients.

I buy Optimum Nutrition -Gold Standard Double chocolate and Dymatize Nutrition- Elite Gourmet vanilla.

Post op during liquids phase most doctors say not to add fruit to your shakes.

I highly recommend the Hampton Beech individual Blender, the mixing container is a travel cup which is really convenient. It also cheap $15 at Walmart/Target. Works really well on ice cubes.

I would freeze fat free milk in "milk cubes" add a couple regular ice cubes which gives the shake a nice icy texture.

So about 2/3 cup fat free milk and 2 milk cubes equals 1 cup milk. I also bought sugar free coffee syrups, fat free/sugar free pudding powder

These are the BEST Protein Shakes I think on the market. This website you can get them cheap and depending on where you live can get them within 2 days via ups. My fav's are Peanut Butter, banana, strawberry & cappacino. So So GOOD....

Oh one more thing, You can mix with Water, skim or 1% milk. It isn't to good with water but with skim milk it adds more Protein to the drink.

go to AllStarHealth.com look up MUSCLE MILK LIGHT. 1 1/2 LB. CONTAINER. all you need is Water.< /p>

Flavors that I like are:

Cake Batter

Peanut Butter chocolate

Chocolate Milk

strawberry

Vanilla Creme

Some of these are also good for a base. Meaning put them in a blender, and add fresh fruit to chop up in them. Like the Vanilla.

No Matter what you order, as many as you want or only 1 item, your shipping is $5.95

Also check out Larry and Lennie's bars Triple chocolate Brownie is very good, and High in Protein

Don't worry, you didn't stretch your pouch. You have no fill, so it's almost like not having a band. I like the Premier Protein mixed shakes from costco, they have 30 g Protein, only 130 (or so) calories and one gram of sugar. Low fat too!

      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!
