Pre-Op Drinking Isopure GAS HELP ?



Recommended Posts

  • I am still a couple months pre-op and have just started drinking Isopure 0 CARB. I have to drink it for 2 weeks prior to pre-op & my nurse said I could go ahead and buy a canister and see how I like it and find things I like to mix with it.
  • Well I have been drinking it 3 days and have extreme gas and have noticed that I am bloated. I feel really full drinking it and am only drinking it at Breakfast so far, but want to drink it at dinner but I am afraid I will explode with all the gas.:o:help:

Is this normal with ISOPURE has anyone else used this product?

I use it but I'm not overly fond of it. I have not noticed a problem with gas. I have only mixed it with Water (probably why I don't like it) because it has so much Calcium that I don't need to use skim milk.

What have you mixed it with so far? Is it the only choice your program gives you? If you are gulping it down to get it over with you could be swallowing too much air........

Serena,

Hi I love your icon moon thing. And the ticker. How do I add that I am very new to this.

I appreciate so much you answering, and it has been a while since I registered. My Dr's recommend the Isopure and I am mixing with skim milk, but am going to try the soy milk next week and Water. I also have been adding fruit and Peanut Butter. I have been better today so it may have just taken me some time to get used to it.

Thanks so much for your reply.

Rebecca

      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!
