Hi everyone. So my Bypass is scheduled for Wed 7/20 and I’m trying to get everything prepared. Which Protein Shakes is everyone drinking after surgery? I ordered the sample packet of powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, but I have to wait until surgery to order more. I know my taste buds will change and I cannot afford to waste any loot on something I may not like.

Any advice or suggestions for the hospital visit? I also wanted to know what did people buy for their first week post-op?

I drank Premier Protein before surgery and I still drink it nearly every day 11 months post surgery. I find the strawberries and cream flavor to be super gross, but the chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and bananas and cream are all really delicious. I sometimes cut them with milk if I want something of a thinner consistency, and it still tastes great.

As for the hospital stay, I would recommend comfy clothing, chapstick, and wipies.

The first week post op, you may be in a bit of pain/discomfort and might find it easier to sleep in a recliner rather than getting up and down from your bed. I couldn't lay flat for the first several days without a lot of pain, but some other people can deal with it no problem. So just be aware that you may want to do that. :)

Hope this helps! Good luck to you, and see you on the other side. :)

Where did you find the caramel and bananas and cream premier drinks at? I'm scheduled for Aug 5, 2016 trying to get all my stuff together. I've already drink the chocolate.

We found them at Walmart in a 4-pack with the rest of the supplements/bars/shakes/etc. :)

So i go to my local GNC and they have a return policy, you can try a Protein supplement and if you dont like it you can return for full refund. That is what i have been doing myself :)

I'm jealous! My Sam's had the regular three flavors on sale, but we haven't had the new ones there yet!

      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!
