1 full week tomorrow and I feel great. I could probably return to work (at home desk job) tomorrow but I’m going to take another week.

I am getting in plenty of fluids, no problem. I can drink 2 Promeir Protein Shakes over the day but then I’m done. I’m getting 60 grams in but feel like I could get more but I’m so over the shakes. I have a texture thing… so things that don’t taste how they normally do because they are thinned with milk seem gross to me.

Should I just stick it out or should I try to mix it up to get more Protein in? I see Dr. on Tuesday.

You are doing great! I had RNY on 3/3 and I couldn’t drink Water period without pain or a nasty taste ( thrush) until the swelling went down week 6

Have you tried Protein hot cocoa? I found that warm liquids went down more easily than cold. If you make it with Fairlife milk instead of Water, it has about as much protein as a shake. I love the BariatricPal brand hot cocoa packets, and you can also buy protein hot cocoa on Amazon (the ProtiDiet brand in a big canister is cheaper per serving).

Talk to your doctor about how to personalize your food intake. I used brewed cacao and drinking three a day is actually enjoyable for me. They taste so good. With a little flavored Creamer and unsweetend almond milk. I am down 23lbs my first week. I hope to match that next week when I can get into soft solids.

Do you drink Crio Bru? I LOVE that stuff! I add a little almond milk and some sugar-free flavored Syrup and it's delicious. It's also really good for adding Protein Shakes. I used to add a couple of ounces of Protein Shake to my Crio Bru (I don't need to do that anymore because I can get enough Protein from food now).

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
