I'm still pre-op but decided to go ahead and try the Protein. I bought the whey protein isolate powder in a chocolate decadent flavor. 60 grams for a serving. 1 gram of carbs, a half serving at a time would be 30 g. I mixed with skin milk and I was totally surprised. It didn't taste too bad at all. I hope I can still handle it after surgery.

You may want to consider getting something called PB2 which is mixed into chocolate Protein Shakes. I'm told it makes them taste like a Reese's Peanut Butter cup. :o

Thanks for the info. What is the exact brand and where did you get it? Do you know how many calories it has per serving? I am doing the already made shakes and would like one with more Protein but have to watch my calories.

I started with the pure Protein brand of ready to drink shakes. 23 grams of protein and they were great at first but after about a month of them I can't even get them down. My suggestion is to change things up throughout it, so you don't get burned out like I did. Good luck to you!!!!!

I'm 3weeks sleeved I been having a hard time with Protein Shakes too they know me well at GNC I was on whey Protein before surgery buy after I could take any flavors of it I mixed it with Water, silk milk and still couldn't drink my NUT told me to try something else so I tried Isopure powder and that didn't work so I been trying to consume my protein in every meal but 70g is hard when you can't eat much. So today I went back to gnc and the guy knew what to do even though I had a list he gave me an already mix isopure drink cold 40g per bottle and I was in heaven it taste so good I have brought it up yet thank god... hope this help!

      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.

      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!
