Preparation and advice!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! So I have a question of what to order and have in stock before surgery? I am scheduled for the sleeve on 12/4 and I have been researching a lot but what I put from others experience. Also has anyone tried the nectar Syntrax Protein Powder I was just thinking cause they have so many flavors??? I work in the hospital and on a busy floor and thinking Protein Shakes and shots might be good for me while working as getting breaks are hard at times. Any advice I would love and thanks in advance?

I really like the nectar ones. I ordered a sampler pack and ended up getting a big tub Peanut Butter cookie. Every morning, I use a half scoop of that and 1.5 scoops of ON chocolate whey from costco. Almond milk and ice. Blend. It's the one thing I have not gotten sick of yet.

Thanks for the advice I found a vanilla Protein Powder I like but was trying to find something with different flavors that had the Protein benefits. I’m glad to hear that someone has tried this brand because everyone talks about premier and I hate the taste of that brand.

My answer is.. nothing . Don't waste your money you can't predict what Protein Shake you will like or not. Taste buds change so much. If you do buy things tiny amounts . Alot of us encountered alot of waste.

nectar. Isn't bad.. but it's hard to get used to the flavour. Some people love it.

      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.

      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!
