...Ran into a complete stranger in the grocery store and had a conversation about Protein and thought, "I wonder if she had WLS"? I swear it happened to me today.

I was at food Lion in Massanutten and this lady and her kids came down the aisle where the yogurt is. I had some light and fit vanilla in my hand and she asked me how it was. Told her that I mix my PB2 chocolate in it and put it in the freezer and it tastes kind of like a Reese cup. She said she doesn't really eat PB anymore and it's hard to find good protein that doesn't have peanuts in it.....I soooo wanted to ask her if she had it.

Could be! Although lots of people who haven't had WLS are doing the low carb, high Protein thing these days.

And that's exactly why I decided to shut up and move on lol! Don't want to offend anybody.

Yep...I did low carb high Protein and lost 25lbs in two months. So I was definitely in the supermarket on my Protein scout...had nothing to do with WLS.

Unfortunately I gained it all back ????.

      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!
