Protein bar = feel like cr*p



Recommended Posts

I am pre-op and have been changing my diet, eating better, cut out all soda and almost all caffeine. I have been feeling good. Today I ate a Protein Bar for the first time and it has made me feel terrible. Has anyone else had this problem? I feel nauseous and just bad. The fact that I have 3 more Protein Bars in my pantry makes me want to throw up. Anyone else can't tolerate the Protein bars? The drinks don't seem to bother me.

First-good luck with the pre-op. Second, maybe it's the brand of Protein bars. I love them. I eat the Cliff ones that have 20g of protein. They make different ones. My dietitian told me to eat these. I have had the chocolate chip, chocolate mint and chocolate with Peanut Butter. Love them all. If you hate the ones you have, return them. Almost every store takes them back.

Check and see if it has sugar alcohol in it. That can act like a laxative. Also some bars have too much Fiber. I gave up trying yo find a bar and decided eatting food works much better for me.

      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.

      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!
