Protien drinks & one called Myoplex?



Recommended Posts

Any idea on what is the best drink to supply nutrients to the body while on this liquid portion of the diet? I am feeling a little weak and shaky. I was just banded Monday morning. I have been reading a book by Bill Phillips and he says that Myoplex is a great protien drink? Any body try it? Any idea on what to do to get rid of this dizzy shaky feeling? I am not hungry at all but just feel a little out of it.

Hi Terri,

I know what you mean. According to my Dr. and the Mid Band manufacturer, I was encouraged to start on mushy foods on the 3rd or 4th day. But I know that some doctors tell their patient to stay on liquids for up to 2 weeks. I drink "Boost" Protein shake. Its thicker than Slim Fast so it gives you a more satisfied feeling.

I got that dizzy shaky feeling for a few days after my surgery. Even though it didn't taste very good, drinking some Pedialyte helped so much. Keeping hydrated kept me from feeling so weak. Hope that helps! And congratulations on being banded!!

      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.

      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!
