eat more lean Protein (and or drink a shake per day to help up the quota) which is what i do in the a.m.'s as i am not hungry and too tight to eat in the mornings...

go the web, look up high Protein foods and choose what you like. that is what i did (and my nutritionist gave me a list of items also).

hope this helps.

I still can't make my quota when it comes to Protein, honestly my tracker indicates I am getting in just about 38 grams of Protein on good days. I look back on how I dealt with protein pretty much all my life and honestly, I was barely getting in 25 grams a day. Since I track what I eat I am more aware and strive harder to eat more protein, while its still a task...

BTW, I can't do Protein shakes since sugery because of my continuous acid reflux issues that seems to be triggered by the protein powders. So, I soley depend on regular food for all my protein intake at this point.

Isopure zero carb beverage it's not a shake it's like crystal light. I get it at GNC but you can get it on Amazon too. It has 40 gms whey isolate Protein. Saves me.

I agree with skyvic, I've used the Isopure ready to drink bottles since day 1. They have variety of favors. I use them to supplement during the day at work or after a good workout.

      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!
