I didn't drink shakes ahead of time though I bought some different powders and a sampling of Syntrax nectar flavors and tried them. In the first month after surgery I drank unjury chocolate but at about 3 weeks I couldn't tolerate it anymore. Everything became too sweet and made me want to gag. So I started adding in Mint flavoring and Hersey's SF chocolate Syrup to change up the taste. I also would add Isopure Unflavored Protein powder to apple sauce and SF chocolate pudding.

In months 2 - 3 I used the Inspire Chocolate and Butter Mint powders (bariatriceating.com) and Premier Protein Caramel pre-made drinks - once a day in the morning. I also drink Fairlife milk (13g protein) with SF Hershey's Syrup.

Now at 4 months, I can get most of my Protein from food and just drink the Premier Protein Caramel on mornings that I am working out to give me that extra protein.

I can't handle thick shakes. I tried syntha 6 chocolate brownie and Peanut Butter cookie. They both make me sick now and I feel I'm going to gag while drinking them. I tried skin fast pre made drinks too, same thing to darn thick. Premier Protein I seem to do ok with. I just ordered the inspire Protein Powder in blueberry cheesecake. I hope it's good and I can tolerate it.

Ps it's horrible after a while but worth it. When you are able to eat again it is glorious.

      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!
