Calling Sacramento/East Bay people?



Recommended Posts

I am trying to test out Protein Shakes and find some that I like before I even start my pre-op diet so that I can know ahead of time what I like and stock up on it. I wanted to see if anyone in the area (pre-op, post-op or already sleeved for a while) wants to get together and have a "shake party" and test out some different types of shakes. It would be a good way to save money, try new Protein shakes and meet some people. :)

I wish I was closer! I posted in nutrition to do the same thing here in the Peninsula/South Bay- I have about 18 kinds to try and hate to waste it on just me. I do go to Fremont for some of my appointments but that's about as far as I go!

Hope you find some peeps !

Ah, bummer! Yeah, I would really like to find at least one person. The more the better, because we could try more types. I'll just keep trying. Good luck to you, too! :)

Just a heads up, what you like before may not what you like after! Buy samples and try them after is my advice.... I had a stack of diferent flavors, I would try one each day, and rate the packages... later I went out and bought whats I liked.

Did you join the Sacramento Yahoo support group? I found a shake I like but I have lots of samples I didn't even try. I could bring them to the group.

      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!
