Stop exercising for now. Your putting on muscle. Wait until after for that. You need to look at what your drinking. How many sugars are in it and how much Protein. Try between 15 and 20 g of protein per shake, 11 oz to 14oz only. Muscle milk lite is awesome tasting and has about 20is g of protein. EAS Myoplex and Atkins are also excellent tasting and in the correct range. I get 4 - 5 shakes or a bar and 4 shakes or 4 shakes and a Soup. All the non starchy veggies and 3 Servings of fruit and thats it. 800 - 1000 calories per day.

I saw the surgeon today and got all my Vitamins and Protein supplements (is that not racket? $350 for 90 days of vitamins am two bags of Bariatric Advantage protein). I am lucky - I don't have to do a full liquid pre-op except the day before. I'm on three shakes a day and one lean meal. He explained that it has to do with BMI. I am a 38 BMI (major comorbities), so he feel confident my liver will be okay on that. Makes me happy. I am starting the pre-op tomorrow and then on July 14 I go to Clear Liquids for my July 15 date. It is starting to feel real!

Howdy y'all! My date is July 1st and I'm BEYOND ready! I was wondering if any of the July Sleevers write blogs? If so' date=' what is your blog called so I can follow you! Mine is http://kjordanjournal.blogspot.com. I just started about a month ago and I absolutely love the therapeutic feeling I get from "putting it all out there!"

I look forward to keeping up with this group and celebrating with you on the looser's bench! Good night!

I'm July 2, we must keep in touch!

      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!
