I have been sampling Protein Drinks and reading the forums here, and I saw at one point that the foam makes people really uncomfortable after surgery. I am using a Blender Bottle to mix my Protein drinks, and it does create a bunch of foam. What is a better option for mixing that won't create the foam? I want to have all of this figured out before August. HAHA

I've found that almost all methods (shaking, stirring, blending) create foam. Early on, I would let it sit out awhile or stick it in the freezer for 10 minutes. This seemed to help.

Now at 8 months post op, I just go ahead and drink the foam. Its incredible the things your sleeve starts to tolerate over time.

Pouring your Protein drink over ice helps with the foam. Plus, keeping it cold makes it taste better while you choke it down. :P

I tried all the powdered shakes and didn't like any of them.

Way back when I started, someone on here suggested Premier Protein shakes from costco. I tried them and have been drinking them for over 18 months every single day. They are ready to drink, smoothe like chocolate milk, no grit, no foam, tastes great and the lowest in ratio of calories to Protein. 30 gms protein in 11 ounces and only 160 calories and 1 gm of sugar. Simply cannot be beat. (I check & compare labels on everything)

I like the Premier Protein shakes from costco, but I'm 300 miles from a Costco, and I definitely need some variety. I really enjoy the Unjury Protein Shakes, and they aren't chalky at all.

I'm only about 30 minutes from Costco, but I still order them off Costco's website anyway. Just more convenient.

They ship them now? Last time I looked, they didn't. Thanks for that info!

immersion blenders will make you a Protein Shake without foam. Also, if you are using a Blender Bottle, if you fill it up 100% there will be virtually no air in the bottle and it will be a lot less foamy.

      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!
