I'm going shopping today for my pre op and post op liquid diet. I saw this huge tub of Protein Powder from costco that said 50g Protein per scoop and it was whey protein. Is there a specific kind of protein I'm looking for? What's isolate protein? Help please!

Be careful with proteins! You want low/zero sugar as well as high Protein. Check out Isopure or Syntrax Nectar. I also got a flavorless soy protein to mix in with my Soups as well to make sure I am getting enough in!

A lot of people on here get the costco one but for me it was waay too sweet, and tasted sort of like a really thick melted milkshake from McDonald's. If I were you get samples first before you invest in a tub that you may hate. unjury (unjury.com) and Syntrax nectar (luckyvitamin.com/vitacost.com) both have samples, have 0 carbs, 0 fat, and have an amazing amino acid profile... something that a lot of Protein shakes don't normally have. Isopure is also pretty good. If you are looking to go all natural without artificial ingredients try Jay Robb, who has shakes in whey isolate and Egg white and a variety of flavors.

Last but not least, get a variety of flavors because you will get sick of the same thing all of the time. Syntrax Nectar has over 20 different flavors from Cappuccino, to iced tea, to chocolate truffle, to fuzzy navel...

      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!
