Does anyone drink the body by vi shakes for their Protein Shakes? I have been drinking them for a few months now and didn't know if i should switch to something else once I have surgery or if i can continue with them...

My only "beef" with the body by vi shakes is that their main source of Protein is soy (it's listed first on their ingredients label). Most doctors want you getting your protein from whey protein isolate. I'd check with my doctor/nutritionist...

My surgeon made me buy two bags of Bariatric Advantage for my two-week preop liquid diet but i was not allowed to have them after surgery because of the Fiber content. If i recall correctly, body by vi has some Fiber in it. if so, you could probably have them again down the line.

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I'm curious about this too since I enjoy the body by vi shakes. I'm lactose-intolerant so the Vi shakes agree with me well since I mix them with lactaid milk.

      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!
