Hi

Yes as to expensive in uk

Not sure on what type of Protein shakes to get thou ?

Thanks xx

Not sure what brands are available in the UK; I like Premier Protein brand, you get 30 grams of Protein with only 1 gram of sugar; you want maximum protein (more than 15-20 g), and less than 5 g sugar...or so they say

God luck!

There is a UK site called my protein.com. You can order samples (about 99p) so you can decide what flavour(s) you like before ordering a big bag. I use whey isolate, though don't have many shakes now.

I have my surgery booked for Feb 2nd, and I'm also going to Prague to do it. I'm flying out Jan 31st and coming back Monday 8th, so depending on where you're going/when you're arriving we may overlap.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
