Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for 1:15pm on Monday. A little nervous but ready to go. Anyone have a suggestion for a good Protein shake/brand? I really have never liked any I have tried over the years. Also anyone else having one next week?

So far Premier Protein is my favorite. Sometimes I add flavorings to mix things up a bit. Things like PB2, Stevia, unsweetened cocoa powder, vanilla extract, Decaf instant coffee.< /p>

I'm June 8 too! I have tried WonderSlim, Celebrate, and Bariatric Advantage. I really like the first 2 but Bariatric advantage is ok too. I've tried the chocolate, vanilla, cheesecake, and cinnamon roll flavor sand have been surprising good. Since I've been on my period-op diet for 2 weeks, have tried quite a few of them.

My surgery is on 6/9. I've been on a liquid diet for the past two weeks which has consisted of Protein shakes and chicken broth. The DR sold me Fortify BariEssentials. It's actually pretty decent. They also gave recipes to change it up abit. My favorite is to add Decaf coffee grounds. I heard powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury is also good.

Good luck to all of you that had your surgery! Unfortunately I had to postpone mine. My back went out on Wed. night and can't walk, etc. very well and will have an injection Thursday. Hope I can get rescheduled in 2-3 weeks. This has been a very hard, depressing day. The forum is motivational when I read all of your victories.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
