Lol @eggnog flavored Protein drinks!!

Good luck, I know it will be a bit of a challenge this time of year for sure! But just know this "diet" is so different from any diet you have done before and will be the first step to a happy healthy life by this time next year :)

To make my vanilla shakes egg-noggy, I have been adding vanilla, a little sweetener and a sprinkle of nutmeg. I did not miss the egg, but the nog is pretty good.

DaVinci (like Torani) makes a sugar free eggnog syrup! You can add it to vanilla Protein Shake and sprinkle a little nutmeg on top. I've been doing that & it's keeping me from missing my Starbucks eggnog latte!

The SF Torani syrups are awesome (at the grocery near the coffees). You can also add a sprinkle of SF pudding, Jello, Crystal Light to your shakes. Be adventurous! Good luck!

Started mine today. Let's just say :( only could tolerate 3 of the 5 shakes I was told to drink daily. Did broth and Jello. This is going to be a long 2 weeks. I'm weak!

It's normal to feel weak and even get headaches the first couple of days.. Trust me it gets easier around day three.

If you feel weak I would also suggest drinking all of your recommended shakes :)

Try different flavored shakes....I added various Mio flavors to my vanilla shakes....orange, grape, pomegranate, pink lemonade... I had "coffee shakes" by mixing Decaf coffee with a vanilla shake. Added unflavored Protein Powder to broth...beef or chicken or tortilla Soup base. PB2 is awesome mixed in vanilla or chocolate shakes. I'm pretty sure I had something different every day. You can totally do this. I spent 16 days on my preop and lost 20 pounds.

      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!
