Ok so I am still 17 day away from surgery and I Am already getting nauseous when I drink the Protein Shakes. I have been drinking them for about a month now because was having a hard time losing weight and doc put me on liquid/green/lean meat diet. Any suggestions as to maybe changing up the shakes?

Here is a couple ideas, blend ice into the drink and add some cold Water. It may be to think and high in protien. little more quanity but soomther going down. The other idea is to additional flavoring to them like Davinci syrups sugar free version or just regular flavoring extract like coconut flavoring. PB2 works too or just a small amount of regualr PB, do not need much to flavor it.

Hang in there our road about to get bummpy!

twinderful, have you tried taking Emetrol? its a liquid anti-nausea that I give to my daughter for car sickness. Its usually over by the tums and ppis and whatnot at the store. I also use sf Torani syrups in my shakes to mix it up, so that might help? 17 more days for us! The 20th will be here before we know it :)

These 2 weeks are going to be crazy with getting ready for this and my son with Tech week for Sound of Music which opens on the 11th! Crazy!!

I think you are lucky, the more busy we are the less we may concentrate on missing food! Try to think this is our final lap and we only have one more hurtle until we cross the surgery line...uh finish line. In a month this will just be a badge of honor that you survived and are stronger person for it.

Well I did it!!! Friday is my official weigh recording day, and I got my 100# medallion back!!!!
My High weight was 423 (long time ago) and today I was 321.6 so I have lost 100# before I have surgery!!! Which is on Monday. Not to shabby but getting a little flabby. I started the surgery Journey at 360# so I may make 40# loss by surgery date..Keep the prayers coming for me and my family.

Ok so it's been a little tough with the food situation since my surgery on Monday, but OMG I just got on the scale and I have lost 10# since my surgery!!! I am under the 300's!!!!! I haven't seen 299 in a long time! I have lost a total of 27 pounds in 2 months! I think that will get me through the next week and a half of soft foods.

Wow, I lost the same 10# the first week, so that makes 50# since I started surgical Journey. I too am pleased with the loss so far and yes I know that most people loose a lot in the beginning but I am happy now!!

      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!
