I found this product about 3 months after my surgery now I did choose to have the by pass over lap band but just speaking about capsul pro it worked great I was finally able to get all my Protein in and I even took it into my doctor and showed it to him and the nutritionist and they both stated that it would be okay for me to try them out. It really is pure protein and 3 capsuls give you 11 grams of straight protein I would take them 3 times a time in order to make sure to get all of my protein.
The capsuls are about the size of a Tylenol gel cap or a bit larger but it desolves very quickly. My doctor said that after 90 days I was able to start taking them and for those having alot of issues with getting their protein 90 days is better than nothing.
I'm having trouble finding it any longer so if you are able to find it please let me know as I would love to continue to use it even though I'm far enough out to where I don't need it. I am 2 1/2 years out from my surgery and do not regret it at all. Doctors recommended I loose 101 pounds and without trying I exceeded that and have now for the most part stopped loosing but I'm also no gaining:) I started at 262 and stay between 145 and 150 now.
The best advance I can give is stay away from carbonation and as for liquor only in very small doses maybe a drink 1 a month or less but again nothing with carbonation and nothing for the first year.
I followed 100% of my doctors instructions for the first 6 months and then after that about 90-95% of the instructions I still follow to this day. You must be ready to make changes, if not then don't do it. I know others that did it just to drop the weight and it didn't work and most of them gained back over 60% of what they lost within the first 2 years.
