We're probably better off buying our own shakes. From some of the posts I've read, it seems like they are pretty expensive when you have to buy them from your surgeon's office.

Vetniemeer - I'm doing the EAS Advantage - Carb Control premade shakes in the morning (I get them at Sam's Club) and Muscle Milk Light powder shakes at lunchtime. I have a small single serve blender that I mix the powder one's up with at work - I put the Water in first and add the powder then pulse several times to mix. I make sure that it's mixed really well before I add ice to the blender. The flavor I have right now is chocolate Peanut Butter and I must say - it's delicious!

      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!
