Am having a hard time getting my protean drinks down. Does anyone know what would happen if I didn't drink the protean drinks? Also what are some good ones that y'all have found cause all the ones I have tried taste like bad. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I like the EAS AdvantEdge. Tastes like strawberry Quik milk to me. I accidently froze mine and ate it like ice cream until I saw I wasnt supposed to. I called the company and they said it would only expand and distort the carton it comes in and the texture would change. It worked for me!!!

Hey Jenn, I really like the Atkins shakes the best for taste. They DON'T have as much Protein as the EAS or Premier, Unjury, etc.... I just bought some of the premier ones at costco (on sale right now) and I like those too. I have the unjury powder and I like the chocolate splendor a lot and the chicken Soup is great for the liquid phase. I haven't had the vanilla or strawberry yet. I really think this is a trial and error for each of us. I have bought most of the ones talked about on here. I greatly dislike the muscle milk light. yuckie to me. Hope this helps you some, good luck!

I actually found a really delicious one by a company called Syntrax. The brand is nectar and the chocolate Truffle flavor is awesome! It doesn't even taste like you're drinking a Protein shake...give it a try! The Vanilla Bean Torte flavor isn't bad either, and they have a whole variety of fruit flavors too.

where did you find it? On-line or health food stores?

Not consuming enough Protein means that you are more likely to lose muscle mass than fat. If necessary in the healing stages, drink milk. You'll have to drink more than you would drink of shakes, but if you cannot find a shake you'll actually drink, you need to.

      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.

      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!
