There are other options!! It takes some creativity. There is this wonderful blog, you'll see mentioned here or there on this site. Its called the World According to Eggface, and the writer had gastric bypass surgery. Since our surgeries are so closely related, her site is a wealth of information!! Here is the link to her shakes... remember after surgery that you'll need to avoid any of the shakes that have fruit with seeds (like Strawberries) until you are healed up. http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-favorite-protein-shake-recipes.html

I just had my surgery on Thursday of last week. I had been on liquids for 2.5 weeks before surgery. I got really tired of sweet liquids so stared to mix Soups in the blender and add a couple spoonfuls of plain greek yogurt for extra Protein. That really helped to make it tolerable.

Stop the insanity. There are better ways to get Protein. Tuma chicken Beans turkey beef Prepare to nut over a bed of baby spinach or your choice of greens. Nuts works great adds crunch to a salad and you eat less and chew more.

I like the vanilla or chocolate whey Protein from Walmart. 2 scoops. I mix it with 2 table spoons of plain Greek yogurt high in protein and very little sugar. I also mix in a cup of frozen fruit. Strawberries , mangos, peaches, pine apple or mixed berries. Sometimes a little ice and one pack of Splenda. I mix it all together in my blender. When its Really thick. I eat with a spoon and thin I drink in a cup. It Hold me for a good 3 hours.

I was able to do the Adkins advantage. It tasted a lot better then the other options and they came in already made cartons. I would have 4 a day and during dinner time have a cup of chicken broth. In between I would have sugar free Jello. I was also allowed 8oz of skim milk a day. Lo carb yogurt or sugar free Protein pudding. It was a lot easier to do then I thought it would be. I had my surgery on 10/02. Good luck!

I like OH YEAH Protein Drinks, they are RTD's (ready to drink) shakes. Vanilla cream is my latest fav. Clear Protein fav used to be cytosport whey isolate drinks in tropical and tangerine (rtd's as well).

      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!
