I had surgery on 5/6 and yet to hit my Protein goals. I have a very hard time drinking the shakes and the Isopure is disgusting. Is anyone else having this problem? What can I expect if I do not begin to hit my daily goals in the next few weeks?

Get unflavored Protein Powder and mix it in broths or dilute strain cream Soups.< /p>

Try diluting your shakes with skim milk. This is the only way I could ever drink them.

I think Syntrax Nectar tastes WAY better than Isopure.< /p>

I agree with getting unflavored Protein powder....mix it with Torani sugar free syrups milk and ice or frozen fruit....not sickly sweet.

My favorite is Torani Belgian cookie Syrup, half a frozen banana and skim milk...blend til smooth...Soo good!

Syntax nectar mixed with Greek yogurt is incredible! I've tried the Roadside Lemonade, caribbean cooler, and strawberry Kiwi. 3/4 scoop (might be able to do a full scoop, just haven't tried it) mixed with 1/2 cup non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt. The easiest way to get Protein in, in my opinion.

I use NOW Sports whey Protein Isolate unflavored and DaVinci syrups and sometimes I use banana, a peach, or a couple of strawberries. But I don't use milk except unsweetened Almond milk. Its great.

I ended up lactose intolerant after surgery. Switching to Lactose Free milk, Ensure Protein RTD, and ProtiDiet Concentrate really helped me meet my Protein goals. The lactose intolerance got better and I can now handle milk and greek yogurt again.

My doctor office has a store I bought mine from, but you can just go to Unjury website and order. They actually have advertisements all over this website, so you can just click on their website that way too.

      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!
