One of my co workers was telling me her sister had Bariatric surgery and got a medical card that allows her to order off the kids menu....does anyone know about this.

Does anyone have any easy recipes for protein bars?

I'm finding it hard to keep my potassium up. However I don't want to waste a meal on bananas when I really need the protein. What do you all do to ensure you are getting your potassium too?

I was doing really good with my protein until last week when I started having problems with a perirectal abscess that went rogue. I have been in and out of the hospital and have had some other issues so I'm not getting all the protein absorbtion so my hair is starting to fall out. Does anyone have any vitamins or other things I can do?

I am having trouble finding protein bars that are low carb, high protein, low fat.....what are you all doing?

I had to have a major abscess removed surgically last week. The antibiotics are causing me to dump. Has anyone had this problem and did you find one that didn't cause dumping?

So my Dr said no Advil. What do I use for headaches instead....and Tylenol does not work for me....

I am 3 weeks out and am pretty much on solid food. I do 2oz of a protein shake at night if I'm short for the day. I have gained 4lbs. I also started walking this week. Has anyone else had this problem? Here is a typical day for me.....breakfast - Greek yogurt. Snack either a protein bar or Speacial K Protein with skim milk, Lunch- chicken Dinner- some form of meat protein.

I should say I have lost 25 lbs but now I'm gaining....

Good Luck! -

Thank you all.

Ok when did you introduce lettuce?

Sick and tired of full liquids and protein shakes!

I found a super advance choc at Walmart that's pretty good. I only do 6oz of milk with 2 scoops and I also discovered the sugar-free flavored syrups (Like at Starbucks for coffee) are really good. There is a site called Lollicups ( I think) where they are inexpensive. I have also found adding these syrups to other things are pretty good for something different. -
2 weeks out and i had a total break down
aprilj replied to newme31's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too broke down day 2. I am almost 2 weeks out and feel its one step forward two steps back. I struggle with the things I need to have and feel like everything is against me. Sometimes I think my family doesn't think when they show up with fast food and I get a protein shake. At least once a day I question the choice I made. It's encouraging to hear I'm not alone and I'm looking forward to having you all for support. -
How will I know if my sleeve doesn't like something I eat? Not really sure what to expect.

Thank you all! Has anyone had trouble with the unflavored protein mix. I have tried adding to soup and it seems to alter the flavor and I can't stomach it.
