Protein Shake This Morning



Recommended Posts

Well, I'm not banded yet, trying to get everything worked out for surgery by end of next month but have been shopping around for different Protein Shakes since I have to do a pre-op diet. I had a Protein Shake this morning, I have to say it was very tasty, mango, but I think it was high in carbs. Guess I will learn all of this when I meet with the dietitian. Towards the end of the shake I was gagging, I have a very easy gag sensation, the taste wasn't gagging me it was the thickness and the thought of thick liquid going down and I just about threw it all up. I even gag and throw up when brushing my teeth, that's how bad it is.

Have you tried the Unjury Protein Shakes? They are really good.

Add more Water and thin it down. It is what I just did with a chocolate shake. My band is a bit tight after getting stuck on a pill last night. I didn't want the thinkness of a shake.

No, I haven't tried Unjury, may be next on my list! This one was really good but was really thick and thank you for the suggestion of adding Water. I feel full now and feel ok, it was just while drinking it at the end I was gagging. ew... thanks ladies!

I wish I could give you my unjury, I hate it. Everyone's taste is different. Good luck to you. I spent months prior to the required liquid phase trying different things. Boy didi waste a lot of money, but it is well worth to find something you like.

Jackie didn't you also order the Protein to go from Groupon? I did too, if so did you get it yet? How is it?

I usually have a shake for Breakfast, because I find liquids easier to get down at that time of day. Solids are not so easy for breakfast for me because they take ages and ages to get down and it can make me really sick, which is then a waste of time.

I like Slimfast in vanilla, it's tasty satistying and only 218 calories, it will keep me going until lunch.< /p>

I tried it first in the post-op 2 weeks of liquids and normally still have it now, almost 11 months later. It has been a life saver.

Now, since last week, I'm trying the Dukan Diet where shakes are not allowed, which is a bit tricky for me at breakfast.......

I have the same as you plus the chocolate. The chicken is ok and of course the unflavored I will use more on the mushy stage because I can do in applesauce and things like that. It is the chocolate I don't care for, but it is only temporary.

Oh ok I didn't order the chocolate. I like the premier Protein premade. I buy them from costco or SAMs.

      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!
