Has anyone used shakeology after 1year post op



Recommended Posts

I am 13 months post op. I do exercise at least 30 minutes a day. I just keep loseing the same 3 pounds and then i will gain it back. I bought the shakeology and I was going to replace a meal with that. It has been a slow weight loss for me over the last year.

I haven't heard of shakeology, but if you don't intend to do it for the rest of your life, I don't think it's a good weight loss strategy at a year post-op. I know some people have to eat less to lose and it sounds like you may be one of those. Are you tracking what you eat? If not, start there. You need at least 65 grams of Protein and 64 oz. of fluids per day.

I also recommend weighing and measuring foods and liquids because it's easy for portion creep to sneak up on you. After tracking your food for a few days, look at where you can cut some calories without too much pain. Can you substitute a lower fat version of something? Cut out a snack? Are you eating white bread, rice, or potatoes? Eating whole grain instead of white grain and eating healthy starches, such as a sweet potato or Beans, will provide carbs that keep you full longer.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
