I know what you mean. Although I get enough Protein my sugar gets low. I am diabetic and I've realizes that along with Protein I also need some carbs. I had a spell yesterday which does feel horrible and found that my sugar was low so I ate a few carbs and felt tons better. I focus on protein but I also have to have some carbs for my blood sugar. Also I've been dehydrated before and that was miserable....tired and weak but not as shaky as with low bloods. Good luck!

Trust and believe you will change your mind about your surgery and will love your results. The best way to get Protein is a Protein Shake. I use Myofusion from West Coast Nutrition 39 gram+ protein, 9 carbs, 3 sugars. I use unsweetened vanilla almond milk (30 calories). You can have this three times a day along with your meals. I don't know what stage you are in...if you can have solid foods or not. If not, then use the protein shake more often. Don't forget to get your Water intake! With an increase in protein you want to keep your kidneys flushed so you don't get stones. I believe you will feel much better very soon. I promise you...you'll love your results. Just patience grass hopper!

Sincerely,

Jen

I am sorry you are having these issues ladies. Milk has been my savior, as both a liquid and a Protein. I hope things get better for you.

This sounds like dehydration. Getting in your fluids will help you feel much better. It this continues please call your Dr. It could be something serious. I hope you feel better. Remember it gets easier. Hang in there.

      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!
