My dr told me to try different things prior to surgery to see what I can tolerate. I did get a new Ninja as the other one would have been entirely too much work for the quantities I was attempting to make.

I did break everything down into small freezer bags, purees etc, I am attempting to get used to this diet now so that I can be prepared.

GNC had a grand opening and I got free membership, so I will try their Protein Powder too. I do see that it has more calories than Unjury, and I'm thinking it has some fat calories too. I'm not looking at it right now but I remember the pack is 200 calories.

I really went in search of the Apple Melon Isopure. I tasted it, and was surprised that it tasted like apple jolly ranchers. I did get a few Protein Bars to try as well and other isoPure flavors. I explained to the employee what I was doing. She then led me away from a lot of the products and showed me why. Some of those bars have 400 calories each.

I'm learning a lot. I feel excited about it all!

GNC carries Quest Protein which is pretty good. I like their Protein Bars too.

I love Quest bars, I also like pure Protein bars and Premier Protein bars with Quest being my favorite. I personally like Jay Robb Protein Powder.

I did get the Quest Protein bars. I may have the Premier as well. I am not sure. I have 2 different brands that they explained would be best for someone after surgery. I have seen this protein powder on another site. There are many people that use it.

I have so many issues with allergies that now I see the unjury sits well on my stomach, I am nervous to change too quickly with the flavors. The one I got from GNC is French vanilla. She said to try it in orange juice.

The main thing is to stick with Protein isolate since it has a higher percent of Protein. Try different ones until you find the one that works for you, we all have different tastes. Ask for help at the store making choices with allergies. Good luck!!

      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.

        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!
