Nut: ok here is a brand that is fantastic!!!!! I swear you'll love it!!! It's called nectar Protein. So I go to Vitamin Shoppe to get it and mix it with Water almost threw up. As a matter of fact I started gagging. Now I'm turned off. But I need this protein any suggestions? I swear I wanna do right. So hard. But i am killing the crabs. Love love love it!!!!!!!!!

Have you tried WonderSlim Protein drinks? They have a mint hot cocoa, which is great. And right now I am drinking the Tangy Orange Protein Drink. Mixed with Water, it's basically like Crystal Light with protein.Also like the shakes that you can make into puddings by adding less Water are pretty good. Their stuff has been my saving grace!

which nectar did you get? I didn't like most of them either but I could handle the fuzzy navel one. Reminded me a little of orange juice instead of all the usual chocolate, vanilla and strawberry you usually have to choose from.

Hi sleeve buddy Amy!!! I haven't tried any of them. Isoplus I have seen but haven't tried it. I have a big strawberry nectar here I have to get down. But I will try some of the other brands. Maybe I'll put some in some pudding and mix it. Thanks for the suggestions ev 1.

Hi there ♥ I am looking for a buddy and or mentor... I had my surgery on the 18th and have only lost 10 pounds. What am I doing wrong? Any advice?

You have a lower starting weight than a lot of people. (You're like me!) And you lost 10 pounds in 9 days. That's over a pound a day--a terrific loss! If you have a lower BMI to start with, you're closer to goal, so you won't lose as fast. You are doing nothing wrong!

Yes I'm in stage 2 of my diet I can have yogurt. I think I want to try premier, heard from other people they were tasty. If this doesn't work I'll try maybe 2 more then I'm done. I will see if the have Protein pills. They have everything in pill form. Ev 1 lose differently, 10 pounds is great!!! I guess maybe I'm heavier, or have more Water weight to lose. But you can be out buddy to , keep in touch compare ask questions but most of all encourage.

I only drink premier ready made shakes. They are a little bit more expensive, but in my opinion well worth it :) Don't give up you really need to get the Protein in!

      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!
