Putting that DaVinci sf Syrup works well to add taste too.

Had a tough time myself I did go to grazing had to wasn't getting enough Protein or Vitamins or liquids. I used powerzero alot and then started drinking fuze drinks learned to read the lables and drank alot just a little at a time. now to suppliment my protein needs I take a teaspoon of Peanut Butter and lick it. Not my favorite but works. I have been really lucky and never feel hungry. Make myself eat. I have also started keeping cherry tomatoes in my pocket while outside. They seem to help keep my hydrated along with keeping down extra vitamins.

Rosebud - have you tried the string cheese? I found that if I chew it really well I am able to keep it down and it's 6 gms. of Protein and 3.5% of saturated fat and less than 1 gm of carbs.

:thumbup:

ron -

ps - ur not failing! Hey! ur still in the game bc you're still TRYING! for sure try the grazing method - and i don't know much about the DO'S AND DON'TS here - but how bout some miso Soup with some SUPER puree soy peices in it?? soy in the pre-cut small cube form from health food stores is really soft and u can puree it to make it smaller and make it even mushier with miso Soup or even chicken broth!

I'm not getting my Protein in. I try and try and if I get 30 g's I'm lucky. It takes hours for me to finish my Protein drinks. I thought it would be easier when I was able to eat 'real' food but I'm not being successful at that either. I can just about get 4 - 5 small forksful of chicken salad in. Last night we went out and I ordered sashimi thinking that this would do the trick. If I got two ounces in, I'd be surprised. I'm afraid to push it because of all the bad stories so when I start to feel full I quit eating. Since it takes me so long to get the shakes in, my other liquids are falling behind.

I really want to be compliant with this program. I'm working hard at it. I am on the treadmill, I'm trying to eat, but I'm failing. I haven't lost an ounce in a week (in fact I am up .4).

Any suggestions ?

Girl it hasn't even been 2 mos and you've lost almost 40 pounds!!!!!!

I think that's awesome. :thumbup:

What stage are you at? I've been thinking a lot about doing the PB thing. I love PB and it has a good amt of protein, no?

      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!
