You might want to ease into the steak. A lot of us found steak hard to eat. For me personally, I was unsuccessful at eating stake until month 5. Tried 3-4 times before that. You may have better luck, but thought I would warn you ahead of time.

Tried out the two think thin flavors today and got nauseous after eating. I think they are too sweet or something is messing with my gag reflex. Felt kind of sick for an hour. First time. Now I am sure I Like the nu go bars because they do not leave any after feeling like think thin bars did. Maybe it is because there is some ingredient in the think thin bar that I am not agreeing with. I am Protein loading to help my legs repair a bit after a weekend hike. Still able to run on my treadmill at incline 5% (oh, felt so good and the sweat was a river), but I look like a zombie walking around the house due to my two stiffies ( no ideas ladies!! :) ) it will probably clear up by Wednesday. In the meanwhile I am adding 3 extra protein based meals in between my 6 meals in order to get in the high protein ( 200+) over next day or two. Extra 600 calories or so daily to get me around 1800-2000. Then I will drop back to 1200. Probable good for my BMR to try this little experiment out.

Tried out the Detour Lean Muscle Bar today. It is not bad in terms of taste, nutritional stats and satiety. The flavor I got is cookie dough caramel. This may be on the sweet side for some, but it does not seem to bother me.

Calories: 190

Fat: 6g

Carbs: 17 g (1 Fiber, w sugar and 13 sugar alcohols)

Sodium : 230 mg

Protein: 16 g

Vitamins: claim is 21 Vitamins and minerals.

A little high on sodium, but still manageable. I still like the nu go slim bars better over all.

I live off of Quest bars. I think they are some of the best out there. Mixed berry is my favorite.

      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!
