I would love to hear everyone little tricks and tips.

I drink the ready to drink Premier Protein shakes but I add 1 cup fair life fat free milk. Helps thin out the shakes so not so thick (for those that don’t like them) I don’t mind the shakes but enjoy the extra Fluid and the Protein boost (43 grams).

A friend gave me a tip of adding fat free powdered milk to any shakes or milk to increase the Protein so it's easier to meet protein requirements during the post surgery period when u consume very little.

sugar-free Jello counts as a clear liquid. If you don't chew it well, it gives a sense of fullness in your stomach for a while when you're doing the pre-surgery liquid diet.

If/when you get sick of the Protein Shakes, try Protein Water. If you can't find it locally, you can order it online: try Protein2O or Atkins LIFT. Lighter than the shakes, helps with your water requirements, and has 15 g of protein per bottle.

I was also told that Isopure clear Protein Drinks aren't bad either. I think they r 40 grams per 20 oz bottle.

I get it at Sam's club. Some has 20g of protein. I find it very sweet, so I dilute 50% with water to get even more water in.

      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!!
