I really like the optimum nutrition double rich chocolate whey Protein Shake mix. I get it off Amazon. I have it with either almond milk out reg milk but I take enzymes with reg milk cuz I am lactose intolerant. I found enzymes really helped me out in the first few months. Our tummies can be kinda sensitive at first:)

I use the Flintstone with Iron, natrol Biotin fast dissolve, natrol B12 fast dissolve, nature's plus chewable iron, nature made fast dissolve d3. Please do yourself a favor and get the biotin! It helped my Hair loss. Whenever I would stop taking it I would shed a stuffed animal.

I get it all from Amazon. :)

I would get different samples of Protein packets for your shakes. From your local Vitamin shops. And maybe order on from the bariatric shops. Cause our taste for everything changes after surgery. So what taste good now might not after.. As for vitamin Gastric bypass patients we have to take vitamin for the rest of our life's.. My doctor recommend's chewable. I take flintstones,bariatric advantage calcium citrate. Bariatric Advantage sublingual b12.. But your doctor should recommend what he wants you to take as far as vitamin.. I hope this helps and welcome to your new life.

      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.

      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!
