My surgery date is July 5. I need to go ahead and buy my daily Vitamin, Calcium vitamin, and some Protein Powder.

What brands/flavors do most of y'all prefer? My NUT has recommended powder brands Unjury, Isopure, Inspire, or nectar. And where do y'all order it from?

Thanks in advance and sorry if there's already a post about this. I may not have scrolled far enough to find one.

Vitamin World, GNC, Amazon, Cotsco have Protein powder. You can go get individual packets at GNC and VW to try. I like Jay Robb strawberry and dreamsicle and premade Premier chocolate, but everyone is different and tastes change after surgery too - so don't buy mega tubs until you try some.

I love Isopure. I prefer powder to their drinks, but that's a personal choice. All the stuff you mentioned is available on Amazon.com among others.

I use GENEPRO in my coffee every morning. No taste to it. Dissolves completely. 30g of Protein in one small scoop but I've been told it's actually half of that. I'm ok with that! 15g first thing in the morning is great!

I've tried the Nextar Protein Shakes and like all the ones I've tried. I'll see if I can find a link to a sample pack that you can order. Caramel Macchiato was my favorite! Taste just like an ice one from Starbucks

      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!
