Recommended Posts

I'm here too!! I was in the hospital 4 nights...the pain was pretty bad. I guess because they had to take my band and port out. I'm home and feeling good now! I am sipping Protein Shakes (2 a day) and Water. So far so good!

^ What kind of shakes are you drinking? I need more protein!

What day are you on?? If you are past day 5 I do nectar Protein and add 2 scoops to about 16oz of Water and for just drinking that I get 180 calories and 46grams of Protein. I drink that once a day and then a chocolate Premier Protein Ready to Drink (this one after day 10) which is I think 160 calories and 30 grams protein and there you go 76 grams of protein all done for the day so what ever I get in over those 2 drinks is a bonus!! DO NOT drink those Vials of Protein they are a bad source and a very low form of protein. It is a collagen protein and you do not want to know what they put in that stuff. Hope this helps.

Feeling good! Down 17lbs already! (6lbs of that was pre-op)

Tomorrow is day 7! And Friday will be 2 weeks since I had a bite of real food.

I'm very bored with my liquids and Jello, but hanging in there!

How's everyone feeling?

Just today I went to GNC and bought some Maximum Protein by SEI. I got the chocolate flavor. Mixed it up with about 8 oz of 1% milk and have a glass that is giving me 30 grams of protein. Quite tasty too. I can definitely do that twice a day.

I'm mixing New whey Protein shots with apple juice. (42g of Protein in each shot)

You can pick them up at GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe.

On what day did you start mushies? i can't wait!!!

Not a good source of protein those are the vials and they use collegen protein.....NOT GOOD!!!:001_tt1: It is a very low protein....on the protein scale of 0-100 it is at the bottom.....Whey Isolate Protein is like a 98....Please do not buy any more of those. I bought 36 vials from bodybuilding.com and returned all of them....read the lable if anywhere on there says collegen return them.

      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.

        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!
