CONGRATS ON THE LOSS! How's the taste? Tolerable? Do you exercise?

I haven't exercised while I was on the liquid diet I've been really busy working extra hours and gettin things set up for my leave.... my job is very physical so I guess that plays a part. The muscle milk lite is really good actually it's surprisingly sweet and doesn't have that yucky artificial sweetener taste. The slim fast low carb however wasn't the best lol I got chocolate and vanilla..it wasn't horrible but you can definitely tell its low carb and low sugar it leaves a bit of a after taste in your mouth but it was drinkable!

I mix my muscle milk lite with 8 ounces of skim milk instead of the Water so it's one scoop per 8 ounces of milk and that is 190 calories

I drink 2 muscle milk shakes and 2 slim fast low carbs a day no order

Thanks for doing this post. I have only been to my first appointment with my surgeon, so I still don't know how many hoops I will have to jump through for my insurance. I have been trying to decide which would be the best shakes to try because I can't have chocolate or caffiene. I wish you ladies the best of luck!

I HAD TO SEE: PULMONOLOGIST, CARDIOLOGIST, UPPER GI X-RAY, CHEST X-RAY, NUTRITIONIST, sleep APNEA TEST, QUIT SMOKING, PROVIDE 5 YEARS HISTORY O WEIGHT PROBLEMS, AND LOST 10-15lbs! I BELIEVE MOST OF THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR MY SURGEON, BUT I DID IT! MY INSURANCE APPROVED IN A WEEK

The best high Protein Shake I have found by far is Lean Body on the Go Bananas and Cream- no aftertaste at all.

I was not required to do the liquid diet either (just low fat) but I did decide to do it for a week prior to surgery. I had two Protein Shakes, two Greek yogurts, and one Quest Protein Bar a day. It was good practice for after and helped get some more weight off.

My spouse likes the muscle milk, but I didn't care for the taste. I prefer Boost high Protein rich chocolate. Get variety packs of Jello. The same flavor will get old quickly, plus you will need to have some stocked for the day after a fill, etc. As far as Soups, buy a fine strainer and strain soups. It has a much better flavor than plain boullion cubes. Just watch the sodium! 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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
