Is it possible to go through this journey without Protein Shakes? I hate them. All of them.

I found some called "Beverly Hills Weight Loss & Wellness" Meal Replacements at a local health food store. They are better than anything else I've tried, including the unjury stuff. Unfortunately, this shop is the only place I've been able to find them, you might see if they could ship some to you. Here is their website: http://www.healthy-weight-supermarket.com.

I am really getting tired of them also. What brands does everyone like and what flavors? Any suggestions on doctoring them up? Still in full liquids phase

Unjury has a flavorless Protein Powder that you can put in anything liquid as long as it is not over 140 degrees. You can mix it with broth, coffee, tea, pudding, Jello, fruit juice ect..

does the Unjury unflavored have any taste to it at all? Does it change the taste of what you put in it?

unjury unflavored doesn't really have a taste but it does have the grit of Protein powder. I add it to yogurt for a boost.

I like Atkins ready to drink shakes. And Syntrax nectar.

I'm pre-op and Im going nuts. I just want to eat a piece of meat, even fish. Why can't we eat lean meat? Anyone know?

Every Dr. is so different! I'm allowed chicken Breast on my Pre-Op diet. I'm also allowed peas, mashed potatoes, canned fruit & S.F Jello.

I just had a super lite string cheese and a slice of thin deli turkey. It was amazing.

Earlier I went to the grocery store to get more Protein Powder and I seriously felt like I was staring at the food like it was porn or something.

Next time I'm sending my husband.

I saw these chocolate crisp things that look like Pringles and I picked it up and was thinking "oh my darling do you know what I would do to

You, if only we could be together, imagine the possibilities."

Does your Dr. allow for broths or leafy greens? My nutritionist said I'm allowed to have up to 4 lbs. of leafy greens. I don't think I've eaten that much salad in my entire life. I struggle with the constant sweetness of the shakes, but I've found that a beef or chicken broth, or a couple dill pickles (basically "healthy" salty options) helps reset my brain. The saltiness of the broth helps combat the "tired of sweet" feeling. The same with the pickles, only they have the bonus of giving me something to chew on. sugar-free gum also gives me something to chew on, which helps. Hang in there, from what others have said, this is the worst part..

      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.

        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!
