There is alot of Protein in lentils and black Beans which I eat tiny portions of through the week. I have some black Beans in the crock pot right now.

Exactly as @Orchids&Dragons said. beans and lentils are good, but they are not very Protein dense compared to other sources. "tiny portions" throughout the week is not going to make a dent your protein needs.

I get it, Protein Shakes, Water, etc., don't taste great. But you really don't want to go very long depriving your body of protein.

The Protein waters are easier to get down, imho. They're still quite sweet, so I Water them down or add ice. But both the waters and the shakes counts toward both your Fluid and your protein requirements.

They tasted awful maybe I’ll try to Water it down like you I’m getting fluids from the water/ crystal light and one Protein Shake

Have you tried Protein2O? It actually had no Protein taste at all to me, I really liked the flavors I tried.

And they do sell it at Walmart, at least my,local,one does The Pure Protein waters, maybe Sams Club or costco. Also check Meijer, Target, Kroger, Winn Dixie whatever else,you might,have around, failing that Bariatric Pal Store and last resort Megopolis Amazon. I'd much,rather enrich Alex Brecher's wallet --who,looks out for us here than Amazon,who just lives for profit. But that may just be my viewpoint,on the subject. It is still a country with free choice.

      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.

        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!
