Hi my name is Paamie and I live in Nyc. I had my surgery May 20th. I am down 30lbs, but I can not keep the Protein Shakes down at all. I have bought so many and nothing will stay down the the Protein shakes in them. I am nauseated every morning. My biggest fear is when I return to work next week how am I going to handle this?

I was the same way for a couple of weeks. I drank a lot of Water and Powerade. I found a Protein Shake called Muscle Milk (premade) and kept it VERY cold. It helped quite a bit. Hope this helps.

I was told muscle milk has a lot of fat in it and its more for people trying to build muscle not lose fat

The Muscle Milk is for the Protein. Mine has 7 grams of fat, 30 grams of protein, 2 grams of sugar and 200 calories per serving. My surgeon and dietician highly recommend it.

I too had issues with Protein shakes and reflux and nausea. I found the muscle milk RTDs and they have been a life saver. I like the chocolate flavor very cold and it does not make me nauseous.

Some people get lactose intolerant. Check the ingredients and see if there is any milk. I had a problem with diarrhea very time I drank a shake. I started taking LacTaid and it helped. I don't have the problem any more-3 mos post op.

Muscle milk is lactose free.

Muscle milk claims to be milk and lactose free on the front of their package, however the whey Protein that muscle milk is made from comes from milk protein which if you are lactose intolerant you can not digest! I am lactose intolerant and made the huge mistake of believing when it said contains no milk and is lactose free without reading the actual label. I drank a whole bottle of it and was violently ill the next day from it! Do NOT drink this if you are lactose intolerant!

      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.

        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!
