I can't seem to get all of my Protein in either. I guess it will take time.

Have you tried ground chicken? I use ground chicken in place of ground beef in my house for nearly everything (chili, tacos, etc). I've had problems with regular chicken breast with my lapband but been ok with ground. Hope I don't have issues after my revision to RNY. I don't always trust the ground chicken in the store so I usually pick out nice chicken breasts, take it to the butcher and have them grind it down so I know what I'm getting. Being in Kuwait, I don't always trust the stickers that say boneless/skinless. Labels out here are terribly inaccurate.

When I had the lapband I loved chicken. So with the rny what kinds of meats digest well?

I bought a ton of Protein Shakes be fore I had surgery I decided to buy some popsicle makers today and make some Popsicles out of them because just drinking protien everyday is very boring.

I love fish and turkey in addition to chicken. All three are loaded with Protein but especially the fish. Even canned tuna - 7 oz can has 39g of protein. Shrimp is another great source of protein. We always keep some in the fridge. Tilapia and salmon are also good choices. There is an amazing variety of turkey things out there too - turkey sausage, turkey bacon, turkey kielbasa, ground turkey, turkey Soups - all very rich in protein and I found them to be surprisingly good!

      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!
