Had surgery on April 27th. With hernia repair as well. I can't stomach the Protein Shakes or Water and only been able to get in about 50-60 oz of liquid. I stay so nauseous , burp a lot, hiccups, and when I do try something by mouth it feels like it is trapped between my breast and chest. Any answers or suggestions please!!!! Very stressed!

Have you spoken to your surgeon's office? The first few weeks were rough and I had a massive hiatal hernia repair (as well as gallbladder removal). I think that weird feeling of there being an alien inside my esophagus went away around 12 weeks. I didn't have much nausea. Are you on any anti-nausea pills? And what about antacids? Are you on a prilosec or something like that?

I hiccupped a LOT when recovering from the surgery. I was told it was from the hiatal hernia repair and maybe if my stomach is too full.

Have you tried the Unjury chicken Soup? that was something I was able to stomach pretty well.

Hang in there, it gets better!! Recovery isn't easy for everyone and the more you had done the harder it is. Walk walk walk walk walk. Even just slowly around the house. That will help as well.

I have talked to my surgeon. He prescribed me phenagran and it helps a little. I'm just so over the sweet Jello and popcicles! Thank you for replying!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
