Hi,

In the begining, I ordered Isopure Protein Drinks from GNC, they are fruity like and they don't taste half bad, and come in 4-5 flavors. I also bught EAS chocolate [protein mix from costco, the flavor I could handle. I sometimes drink Low carb slim fast when I am on the run or out of town. I don't drink any other slim fasts becasue they are low in Protein and high in sugar, which isn't good for diabetics. Recently I went to DS Nutrician and bought Myolean, Peanut Butter cup flavor. I dont care for it as much but I can tolorate the flavor. I did pick up some great Protein Bars. Power Crunch, peanut butter fudge and supreme Protein that is awsome. Gerry is great there he is so knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have.

I need to really start exercising more, with this hot hot weather I have been slacking off.

who's doing your surgery?

I am having it done in West Hills by Dr Sergey Lyass. They are opening an office in Bakersfield, but I didn't want to wait. I am heading to GNC this weekend. Where is DS Nutrition I haven't heard of that

DS Nutrition is at 4701 White lane.

I am looking for a fill DDr as my fills cost $350.00 right now and I have great insurance but my Dr bills out of network and insurance wont cover it when they bill that way. So hubby is like, find a new Dr so we can use this insurance.

      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!
