Hi all, I am in week 3 puree stage........ Since ive gone on puree stage I just havent been able to stomach the Optifast shakes. My problem is im not getting enough Protein. My food for yesterday:

1 weetbix, 1/2 cup milk, 2 spoons benefibre

1/2 cup spag bol

1/2 cup baby food *2

1 ltr Water

Today its looking worse so far

1 weetbix+ 1/2 upn go+ benefibre

1/2 cup chicken rissotto

I am planning on having chicken and sweetcorn Soup for dinner

Prob have about 1ltr of water

Other problem being yesterdays food feels like a rock in my stomach (yes all food is pureed), just not feeling hungry.Trying to force myself to eat is not an option. Im thinking about buying some Protein powder to add to stuff but im lucky to eat what I am let alone add something else to it. Im thinking i might have to try n force myself to have at least 1 shake a day :(

Yeah, unflavored Protein Powder was a lifesaver for me (and stil is) as far as getting in my 70. I use nectar unflavored and mix it with hot cocoa or ovaltine and I can hold that down really well. I think I'll always need to rely on some sort of shake/drink to get my grams in until I'm ready to chow meat full time.

I drink Isopure. One bottle has 40 grams of Fiber with zero carbs.

Ugh, I wish I could. The taste of Isopure makes me gag. For some reason post-surgery I've been really sensitive to the taste of anything Protein Drink related and it usually isn't pleasant.

      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!
