I am new to the group and this process. I have my first dr visit this week and my first nut appt next week. Right now I always have an Atkins low carb shake for Breakfast. Didnt know if this is something I should continue or if I should switch to something else that I will continue to have in the future. It's 160 calories and 15 Protein. Appreciate suggestions

I would like to know too. The mocha shake is my favorite! Although I would like to try the premier shakes that everyone talks about since they are higher in Protein.

The Nutritionist will tell what they want you to have. The Atkins shake may be OK but maybe take one with you to the apt so they can read the nutrition label.

This might depend on your individual Doctor/Nut, but my hospital had specific guidelines for carbs, fat and Protein. A lot of people use Premier because they are low in fat, carbs and high in Protein. And are decent tasting.

My nut had several items out for examples. One was the Adkins, also the Slimfast high Protein.< /p>

Brands ready made that I like are Oh Yeah all flavors, Pure Protein all flavors, EAS Advantage--- the kind you make yourself I have always used Designer whey Protein- chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and White chocolate. You can use the vanilla for so many different recipes and you can also get Davinici or Torani sugar free syrups and make your own flavors.

These are all high-proten & low carb.

      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!
