I haven't gotten near the Protein in that I need and it is obvious since I've stalled. I tried the Carnivor shot and it has 50 grams of protein for 4 ounces. It tasted to me like I was drinking a fruit punch flavored liquid cow (tail end included)!!! It was so tart that now I have killer indigestion! The trial and error part of a new sleeve sucks donkey tail!!!!!

Your description is funny, haven't had my sleeve yet. Surgery is on the 12th. Hope you find a way to get in your Protein.< /p>

Have you tried any of the unflavored protien powders? I cannot say they taste fantastic, but you can add them to any and everything, Soup, broth, you name it. I find this really helps me to stay on track with my Protein requirements. Also, how does your sleeve tolerate seafood? Seafood has one of the biggest 'bang' for your buck as far as protien to serving size ratio that I've found, and is one of the easiest (for me at least) to digest since it's not as dense as chicken or beef. Good luck!!

I have not tried the unflavored yet. I think that is my next choice. We went out to eat last night at Red Lobster and I was able to eat 1 crab leg, 1 shrimp and 1 tiny scallop and u was full, but it was the first real food I have been able to keep down. I told my husband that we needed to buy stock in Red Lobster if that Is the only thing I can tolerate. Be warned and watch the stock market for a sudden spike!!!

omg your description is so funny! LOL!!!!!!

I think this process will be mostly about trial & error and that maybe as time goes on tastes will change. Maybe eventually you will actually crave fruit punch flavored liquid cow. Ha!

No doubt having a sense of humor about it all will be very helpful :)

Best of luck to you!

      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!
