What to do??? I am 1 month post-op tomorrow and haven't been able to stomach Protein Shakes AT ALL. I am eating small amounts of food. Was in the ER for minor dehydration, a UTI and low Iron. Haven't felt good at all since surgery, along with hardly any energy. They did a bunch of tests and my Protein level was good...

Hoping the iron helps pick me up... Doing my best to get all my Water in, but vomit every time I try a Protein Shake. The doc said that once our stomach heals and we can eat normally, that we shouldn't have to rely on drinking the shakes for protein... Help??!

I also couldn't handle the Protein Drinks. I've told my surgeon I'm done even trying and just always try to eat Protein. My surgeon said he'd rather you get protein from food vs. shakes anyways. My protein is lower than what it should be each day, but I'm losing weight pretty steadily. I'm not too worried about it and my surgeon doesn't seem to be either.

I really like the Isopure that is ready to drink. It's expensiveat GNC, but cheaper if you order a case from Amazon. I'm still drinking 1/2 a bottle each day to boost 20 gramsof Protein to my daily total.

However, the Isopure powder I have tried is disgusting, in my opinion.

I read this thread earlier, and went to buy some Isopure to try. Can't say I cared much for it :( we tried the blue raspberry. I also got the alpine punch and apple melon. Maybe one of those will be better :) you can get singles to try at Vitamin Shoppe. They are $4.19 a piece. I like the banana creme muscle milk, poured over ice with just a splash of orange juice... To me, that tastes amazing!!!

Hiya!

I could not tolerate the Protein Shakes too well until I tried the nectar brand...it is VERY light & I have been able to tolerate it VERY well...just seem to be soooooooooooo hungry, so I have to drink it every couple of hours. I have tried the fuzzy navel (peach) and the lemon tea (tastes like Lipton's lemon tea to me). Just be careful with the lemon tea bc it does have caffeine in it and I did not realize when I purchased it and I did not sleep at all last night :angry:. So just a heads up! The Isopure is really good also, but it just seems to dry my mouth out lol...I get to begin blenderized foods in 10 days AND COUNTING lol

You may want to try it first before you buy a bunch. It has a very distinctive aftertaste that I found slightly unpleasant pre-op but utterly intolerable post-op. It's a great way to get your protein if you like it though.

      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!
