Drinking sweet stuff all day is really gross.

What I do like is broth alone, and broth with unflavored Protein Powder. I find that far more satisfying. I have the Unjury unflavored powder and the IsoNatural unflavored whey. http://www.vitacost.com/allmax-nutrition-isonatural-whey-protein-isolate-unflavored-2-lbs-1 the IsoNatural foams up a little more than the unjury, but it also blends better. I can buy the IsoNatural locally so I think I will use it ovevr Unjury. Unjury also makes a chicken Soup, but the sodium content is very high. You can get the same effect with broth and unflavored Protein with less sodium. I also have Syntrax Nectar Cappucino and watermelon flavored Protein Drink with BCAAs for muscle retention.

I drink broth and Water in between shakes to keep hunger at bay.

July 21 for me... today is day 2 of my pre-op diet... if anyone has some suggestions for flavor and variety from the the usual stuff on the Doc's handouts I would be grateful

I have my sleeve surgery on July 14th. I'm excited to begin a new chapter in my life. God bless everyone with their surgeries.

Hi Jen--me, too!! It almost feels like it is surreal! I have to do a two day liquid diet before Tuesday, and I am starved! I truly feel sorry for those who have to do this for two weeks. Good luck to you and everyone else here!!

You don't have information from your doctor? I have a book and a paper packet and the nutritionist also told me what to have. If you are in doubt contact the office. If you need advice on types of Protein, plenty of people can help with suggestions.

I'm at the other end-in Barnegat. Did you get any answers from the doctor's office on what you can have on the pre-op diet? I had a one hour class just on the pre-op and first week post op diets. I could share my info with you, but every doctor seems to have their own protocols all the way from all liquids to just a low carb diet, so it would be better to get the info from them.

      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!
