Here is some info on Visalus- a good Protein drink. i am not a distributor, but i know one if you are interested. it is a marketing thing...but the shakes are good.

Hi, I am getting ready to have my surgery in a month. I asked my nutritionist if this would work, but she told me that it didn't have enough Protein and too many carbs. Did you ask your dr or nutritionist about this? I'm wondering if she misread the package? Thanks! Can't wait to get started... and if I can use visalus I would be thrilled because it is yummy. Lisa

From what i understand, the Protein is lower but it is better utilized by the body. it does taste great.

I tried it too & it really is the shake mix that tastes like a cake mix. It was SOOO good but my nut says I can't have it either. :(

I was told not to use it pre op only because they wanted me to find a Protein Powder I like... so I didn't use it... darn, because you are right- so delicious! I have not heard of the BSN Syntha-6 isolate, where did you hear about that? Is it a Protein powder? I still need to find a delicious one, because who wants to drink something you don't look forward to???? Seems it will cause you to eat stuff you shouldn't if you don't find something that is more than "tolerable".

      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!
