Protein is an important for healthy cell repair and development. Also, affects Hair loss etc. We need Protein to repair our bodies after the surgery and gives us energy. I myself drink the Protein Drinks called Premier chocolate protein drinks from costco. They also sale them at Sam's Club. This satisfies my sweet tooth. LOL ;)

You should do something to substitute the Protein you were getting from the shakes. Lots of companies make 3oz liquid "shots" that are 25g each, or Unjury makes a protein chicken broth powder (21g per serving). You will start to feel the lack of protein eventually (fatigue, slow healing, etc). Hope you're able to find something that works for you.

You don't have to drink the Protein Shakes or do Protein Shots so long as you are getting your required amount of Protein in which can be done with foods.

Thanks everyone I will take it into consideration. I will try Protein Bars. I just left my appointment and happy to hear a total lost of 60lbs but I have to do better bout Protein intake. I hate chocolate but could swallow a pill better. Do anyone know of a protein pill maybe?

I think I heard Protein pills have very little protein in then so you'd have to take a ton of them. I'm sure you can find info if you Google it.

nectar makes a slew of fruity flavored Protein blends you mix with Water. Look the flavors up on the internet. The chocolate/vanilla shakes are not for everyone taste. Also, Isopure is a Water like drink with Protein.< /p>

Good luck!

      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.

      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!
