I'm 2 weeks post op and I'm sick of Protein Shakes. I've tried many and I can't drink them suckers. I'm done! I hate the way they all taste. I'm still on liquid for 2 more weeks. Not sure how I'm gonna get through this stage. I'm barely getting in about 30g of Protein, when I should be at 60g. I'm drinking all my Water and Vitamins though. Im starting to worry. What will happen if I don't get all my Proteins in?

Have you tried the unflavored? If you add it to warm coffee.. Let it sit for a while and heat the coffee back up it isn't detectable..I use flavored coffee (Gloria jean's English toffee) and add some stevia

I was told if you didn't get enough Protein, you would lose your hair and muscle tissue among a list of other things. I was drinking muscle milk's chocolate powdered Protein Shakes and I couldn't take it anymore. I went to costco yesterday and got their Premier Protein ready to drink shakes in chocolate. They are pretty good. To me they taste like really sweet chocolate milk and they have 30g of protein which means I only need two a day.

My nut won't let us use the premier shakes because it's not all whey isolate.. Again showing how different docs are

Wow! Your NUT is opposed to Premier Protein, but caffeinated flavored coffee is okay? You're totally right in pointing out how different each doc/program is - that is wild!

They are all so different. My nut gave me a print out with some different brands and places you can buy ready to drink and powders from. I'm just glad I found a Protein I like...for now.

Good call Mama!

Thanks all for the advice. Yes I've tried muscle milk and I like it but for some reason most of the Protein I've tried all taste like metal to me. Oh lord don't ask me why I just said metal. It just has a weird after taste that makes me nauseous. I guess I have to keep trying until I find one I like. I sure don't want to be bald. No way! I'm curious to try the unflavored in coffee. I love coffee so this might be it. Looking forward to try this. Thanks again all. I really appreciate your comments.

Haven't tried it yet but will be. Thanks for the advice. I've tried many Protein shakes and I hate them all so far.

      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!
