I agree the Bariatric Advantage gave me terrible gas and diarrhea and the Unjury I thought were gross and too sweet. It took me a long time to find the right fit!

Hi, so which shakes did you finally settle on? I thought Unjury products were well liked.

Syntrex makes a great Peanut Butter cookie shake and a strawberry one. They also have one I mix with Water - fuzzy navel. Otherwise I get Body fortress shakes - they have some great flavors as well. For packaged ones - Premier Protein are good - I get mine from costco.

I use the Syntrax matrix Peanut Butter cookie not too sweet and not too thick, I mix it with milkfor the extra Protein and calories since I do not eat much at "meals". I had a really hard time in the beginning and was only able to start shakes after one month post surgery. I also like the Atkins pre made shakes for when Im on the go. $5 something for 4 at Walmart not too sweet and none of that artificial sweetner taste I can't tolerate since my surgery!

I actually said the same thing to him. And even went as far as to refuse to purchase the 60$ Protein Powder he wanted me to buy. I know that he gets a pay out for pushing product. I bought the minimal before post op and i bought only what I wanted after. And now I am not even using his products nor will i be purchasing anymore. A friend of mine had the sleeve done at a different place and they didn't make her buy anything. And the messed up thing about it all is that they make you feel like if you don't buy what they say you need then they will cancel your surgery. Live and Learn, I wish I would have explored more doctors. But I was just so excited to get it done I wont say it was a bad experience just one that seemed a little shady in some areas. So far with my after care they have been great but we will see if that changes at my two week check up Thursday.

Is it just me or does anyone else think it's a conflict of interest for a dr to be selling supplements and insisting you purchase them? Not cool.

      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!
