I know people really like it, but I'd stay away from whey Protein. If you have any lactose intolerance problems, it is the wrong choice for you. Trust me on this one. I've created some...toxic...situations with it. And unless you're seriously into building muscle, I'd choose vegetable-based Protein Powder instead of animal or dairy-based.

My NUT recommended that I take a probiotic for immune support.

Sample some Isopure rtd flavors. They have 40g of Protein a little like crystal light with more benefits. I like alpine punch. Some don't care for them but for pre op it's a savior!

I lik Nature Best Isopure Strawberries and Cream Protein Shake. You mix it with 1 percent milk and it is so good.

      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!
