Whatever Protein Shake you decide on needs to have NO sugar....The weight will come of VERY slowly if at all with all the sugar in regular slimfast. I use nectar by Syntrax (chocolate mousse, or french vanilla) both delicious and you can mix it with chilled coffee and milk and a little SF Syrup for a YUMMY iced coffee Protein drink!! (I did a youtube video about how I make this!) My pre-op diet was 3-4 Protein Shakes a day with 5oz of protein for dinner and as many veggies (no starch!) as I wanted with dinner. I did that for 2 weeks and lost 16.6 lbs!! You can do it!! <3

Where do you buy that? That sounds very good. So Lean CUisines would not be something you reccomend? This sounds like an easier diet to follow then all liquids. I know I would really struggle with that.

I get my Protein powder from the Vitamin Shoppe. My dr wanted me on a low carb diet, so that's why I wasn't allowed sugar or starchy veggies. Here's the link to the video!

THanks so much. I am going to try this. I hope it works for me. What kind of exercise were you getting during this 2 week period?

None!! I didn't work out at all! Actually I didn't start really exercising until I was 3 months post-op and then I started doing the c25k.

Awesome...Thanks! I have a little less then 3 weeks to get this done. I have to lose it by Oct. 7. Hope I can do it

You can totally do it in 3 weeks. I didn't start with the two Protein Shakes and broth based Soup the first week. I had two shakes and a normal dinner the first week and then went to shakes and cream Soups the second week and then went down to the broth based soups the third week. It wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be. I wish you the best!

      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!
