For a tasty Protein Drink I've found I like adding the crystal light flavor packets along with plain whey Protein isolate. I don't like the typical chocolate or vanilla Protein Drinks. This way I can have lemonade, fruit mixes etc and I can mix it up everyday

I had trouble with the shakes until I tried whey Protein isolate. I use the Now brand, I buy it on Amazon. It dissolves really well, I hate when other Proteins have clumps.

Another thing you might want to try I'd the Syntrax nectar Protein powders. Mybariatricpantry.com has a sample pack of a bunch of different flavors for like $20. If you like fruit flavored drinks that brand has alot of options

My highest 299.which I also was made to go on 2 week Diet prior to surgery. My current is 255. I was told I was doing OK. I lost 19 pounds at my 2 week follow up.

I had my two week post-op check up Wednesday and I lost 31 so far. That's including my pre-op weight which was 388 and my current weight is 357.... My incisions are healing perfectly and my doctor said that Ian doing great. I still have pain from time to time with one of my incisions which is the larger one that is right above my rib cage.

I'm here! Had surgery 11/10/14. Down 150lbs! Truly the best decision I have ever made. :)

Hi! I had my surgery on June 30 and for the last 5 days I have not lost a single ounce. Did you have that too?

Are you able to tolerate more food now since you are farther out? I'm not even a month out yet and sometimes I feel like I don't want to eat and drink anything. I force myself to do so. I don't want to end of in the hospital.

@lennon15. And how are you doing? Eating? Keeping it down? Pain? And what are you eating? Activities?

I'm doing great actually!! Eating honestly Protein (chicken, turkey, fish and eggs). I've been exercising pretty regularly. I'm down 32lbs. Drinking Water all the time too!

I've been in a stall on the scale for the last 3-4 weeks. It sucks!

Are you trying different types of chicken? I had grilled chicken from KFC and I did pretty well with it. I was a little dehydrated so I had to get me some Pedialyte to drink. It does not have to be chicken try a different type of meat that has a lot of Protein in it. What about yogourt? Peanut Butter?

      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!
