I had my surgery two days ago, July 20, by Dr Robert Shin. I have five very small incisions which are sore but tolerable, a little nausea and still feeling sort of wiped out.

I am having a real hard time getting miniumum of 60 gms of Protein in on this full liquid diet week. I am drinking Protein Drinks and adding some protein to cream of chicken Soup. Any other suggestions?

Congratulations on your surgery. I am glad you are doing well. Maybe you could get some unflavored Protein things - like I know that this stuff called Unjury is high protein and it has an unflavored kind. Mix it with your Water or tea or whatever you are drinking. You won't even be able to taste it. You can buy it off the internet at unjury website

hi moonpie,

i use the new-whey Protein bullets. i bought them online at A1Supplements.com - Wholesale supplements Nutrition at Low Prices to Build Muscle, Lose Fat with EAS, MuscleTech, BSN and more!

they have them in 25 gms and 42 gms

i like the blue raspberry and fruit punch the best

i continue to use these today if i cant eat enough Protein

good luck!

Congrats on your surgery! I was banded on the 16th and I'm facing the same issue. These are some great suggestions! I will try both.

I am two days out and am having the same issue. I am just not hungry enough to get down that much Protein. I am getting most of my protein from the Unjury chocolate (20 grams protein per scoop) and 2 cups of skim milk (16 grams protein). it doesnt taste too bad at all. I had horrible luck with the unflavored and juice.< /p>

      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!
