If I can not eat much of anything to get enough Protein in because of so much pressure and or having dumping syndrome, I am doing the shakes but can you tell me if you've experienced this as well and if you have what did you do to help get the protein?

I added Un jury unflavored Protein powder to every broth and cream Soup I could find. Used milk instead of Water to mix my Protein powders because it adds an extra g of protein for every oz you use. Once in pureed stage, I Did eggs, refried Beans, pureed split pea and bean Soups, pureed tuna fish, and still kept adding unflavored Protein Powder to everything else including mashed potatoes, hummus and guacamole. Getting enough liquid and protein was my full time job from waking up to bedtime.

I couldn't eat more than a couple tablespoons at a time for at least the first month, but still managed to get 60g protein everyday from shakes and powder. I had a lot of bloating everytime I ate, so did a lot of walking to help move things through. Even at 11 months out I drink a 24-32oz protein smoothie with 30-40g protein everyday in order to meet goals.

Where did you find Unjury? The only thing I can think of is ordering it online but I'd like to buy it in store. I am on stage 2 so am I ok to have milk now?

I've only seen Unjury online. After 3 or 4 days, I was allowed anything I could tolerate. Of course, the same applies to eat or drink slowly and in small amounts at a time.

Ordered it online from their website. But there are other unflavored powders you may be able to find locally at GNC or other health food store while waiting for it to ship.

I also ate a lot of Greek Yogurt. Plain Fage or Chobani flavored with Torani SF Syrup or vanilla Protein powder.

      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!
