That depends on the brand, type (pre made or powder)

I buy mine from Wal mart $15.00 52 g Protein Powder form flavor Cookies and cream. I also buy EAS premade drinks 4 for $5.00

I used Slim Fast - Low Carb & found them at a very reasonable price on Amazon.com with free shipping. The shakes can get a bit boring, but I have blended them with ice & added extracts on occassion (orange or coconut) a piece of banana, spoon full of Peanut Butter & I have heard of adding instant coffee, but haven't tried it yet.

I've been using several options: Carnation Instatnt Breakfast sugar-free, Boost Glucose Control, Slim Fast Optima or Glucerna. I had coupons for most of these. You can register on their websites and they'll send them to you in the mail!

I'm adding yogurt or skim milk, ice. My pre-op diet includes raw vegetables (carrots and celery) twice a day. I've added these for my morning shake. Put it in the Magic Bullet...never taste it!! I've also added a dash of vanilla extract, splenda/equal/sweet & low and lite pancake Syrup.< /p>

I prefer EAS advantage (advantage because its lower cals than regular EAS) - my fav flavor is choc fudge.

I find Walmart has these for the cheapest I've found.

      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.

        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!
