Do you not like your Protein shakes?

I've been using Jay Robb whey Protein powder with Stevia and I really like it.

It smooth and not gritty at all. It has 25 grams of Protein in each serving and if you use skim milk that will add another 8 grams of protein.

I add to it Torani sugar free syrups made with Splenda. They come in many, many flavors.

You can buy Jay Robb at Whole Foods, directly from the company or Amazon.< /p>

You can buy Torani sugar free syrups from the company directly or if you have World Market in your area they carry them too.

Good luck in finding something you like.

You can also use unflavored Protein Powder in many different foods like Greek Yogurt, sugar free pudding, even mashed potatoes. Be creative. It mixes better with cold foods. I used Unjury and it worked well for me. I would also encourage you to try several types of shakes, you might hit on one that works.

At 5 weeks out I was getting more Protein from food with Protein added then with just shakes. I got an unflavored whey protein powder and added it to most things I ate. I added it to hot tea and Soups. I added chocolate protein to my cream of wheat. I got a lot of protein from greek yogurt, cottage cheese and refried Beans at 5 weeks out also. I also enjoy Muscle Milk Light (chocolate) as a source of protein. I'll have one at night if I calculate my numbers and I'm deficient in calories or protein.

I also use Muscle Milk light but if you don't like mike I suggest Syntrax Nectar, there have several flavors but I love the fuzzy navel fruit flavored. I blend it with ice and make a smoothie.

I too hate shakes. Have you tried getting cottage cheese? When I was stage one my diet was mostly Chiobani 100 yogurt, cottage cheese, creamed Soup and milk. I could not choke down the whey products.

      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.

      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!
