Hi guys! I'm still pre op, I'm currently testing out Protein powders and I've read lots of good things about the taste of Mint Cookie and Cookies and cream Protein Powder from Sytrax Matrix line. I've also heard mixed things about whether Matrix is good for bariatric patients because I believe it's not straight whey isolate, but a blend of isolate and regular whey- though I have seen bariatric patients drinking it. Thoughts on this? I want to know if its going to be a good thing to purchase before I go through with it. Thanks all!

whey Protein Isolate is the gold standard, but if it uses whey Protein concentrate or even just regular whey protein it is still good and perfectly acceptable for our use.

The only caveat being that if you are lactose intolerant stick to the isolate.

Thanks for the info! I've been worrying about whether I would be able to digest it alright, this is good to know! I'm going to see if I can get samples of these then! :)

      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!
