weight loss -
I had a class yesterday that went over all the things to look for that are not normal, and the things that are normal. I am with Gomekast you need to go to the ER. Or call the Physician on call at your surgeons office,. I would bet that you are dehydrated! You shouldn't be so weak that you cant stand and your not able to hold things down you need to be seen. I was told as well, that if you are eating the things you are suppose to and you are throwing up.....seek medical attention. Throwing up foods that you can have is not a good thing. I have seen on here that some people say oh its normal....well my surgeon said NO its not normal to throw up foods you should be able to tolerate. I am not sleeved yet but I to cant have protein until weeks 3/4

Post surgery Protein shake options
Erica2013 replied to Derbymama21's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i havent had my surgery yet but i have heard people say Isopure is a good one I also have read good reviews about Bariatric Choice having good reviews on their Protein shakes as well. I personally like the Bariatric choice shakes from Bariatric choice. I enjoy the strawberry ones. But whos to say what will happen after surgery. Alot of people use the Whey Protein by body fortress. Bariatric choice sales ISOPURE and their shakes...you can check them out. and their shakes are low Cal as well. I have ordered all my food and shakes from them. plus when you sign up and you use a referral code you get $20.00 off a $40.00 purchase. Ill copy the link below. Check em out I think you will like them. https://www.bariatricchoice.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/107981/I I dont know if you will need this but the referral code is : 8314537 check them out -
awesome good luck and God bless you
