Protein supplements success



Recommended Posts

I am about half way through my 90-day pre-op medically supervised program. I have been trying out different Protein supplements because I'll have a two-week pre-surgery liquid/protein drink only diet. I have gotten samples from several companies and have just been trying them out. I needed to find things that are not over-the-top expensive as well as some I can get locally in case I run out. And I think I have a plan. First, of the bunches of different things I've tried, my absolute favorite is opurity chicken Soup. Just plain YUM. (I hope I feel that way after surgery). I am also going to order Isopure whey isolate unflavored powder from Amazon. Finally, last night I bought SixStar whey Isolate Plus decadent chocolate locally. I mixed it this morning with a cup of unsweetened Almond Milk. It was actually very yummy (170 calories, 3g carbs, 31g protein, 4g fat).

I am happy to have a plan! Even if my surgery gets delayed for some reason, I'm still going to use these protein supplements to start trying to lose some weight.

You can also try Quest Protein Bars if you are feeling the need to chew. They have 20-21g of Protein in each one and very low carb. Good luck on your journey and make sure if you buy Protein Powder, don't buy the big containers. For me, I cant handle the liquid post op

      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.

      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!
