Getting-used-to-new-me replied to Greenize42's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Bariatricchoice.com is good. Our surgeons group recommends that and www.celebratevitamins.com. It would be nice to have a sampler box from these suppliers. A sampler box with individual servings of everything they offer would help us all to decide which we like, and which we don't BEFORE we order a 90-day supply! -

How'd you get those $5 off coupons? Can you get them more than once? -

This sounds like a lap band question. Have you tried the lap band forums on bariatricpal.com? -

Add to all of the above: pureed sauerkraut, yes! And a little dill pickle relish. Relish the relish! I add each, as relish a little at a time, to appropriate meals. -

Has anyone tried protein powder, like chocolate flavor, added to cream of wheat or oatmeal? -

In addition to most of those above that Laura mentioned: split peas, pinto beans, garbanzos, refried beans, 1% milk, frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries, frozen cauliflower, SF popsicles, hash browns, white fish fillets, oranges, lemon juice and Crystal Light to add to water, non-salt seasonings, Clif bars, Body Fortress whey powders, GNC whey powder, canned soups like split pea and tomato, tomato juice, vegetable juice, Special K protein flakes, potatoes, tortilla chips. Now that I look at it all, I'm doing more with more variety than I thought. Thanks for starting this Christi, I fell less deprived than I did! -

I like those protein shake recipes at the eggface blog. -

Me too. My dietitian tells us repeatedly at our support groups and office visits that it's most important to get the protein in. Body fortress is low sugar and low fat. And low price! -

It's what I use because like you I'm motivated by price. -

Just some ideas: low blood pressure, need for healing sleep, not enough calories, fat burning requires rest, blood loss from ulcers? Any of these could use a call to your doctor or nurse. -
Favorite Recipes

I'm having trouble with both. I'm also getting dumping with too fat/oil or too sweet. My standby protein is whey powder shakes, with frozen fruits blended in. -
I'm not sure if this topic has been created before, but are there any favorite recipes out there for us post-RNY folks?

Post op protein.
Getting-used-to-new-me replied to mizznickie13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! I needed to know that about the protein grams absorption per feeding But what's your source? -

Getting-used-to-new-me replied to Getting-used-to-new-me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm with you. I've only been able to tolerate it in cream of chicken soup, and even then only in small quantities. -

How much protein can an RNY patient's body process in one sitting? -
How about some NSVs!?!?
Getting-used-to-new-me replied to shyanne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Another NSV is people double-taking on my passport and DL. I'll have to get new ones. But at $200 for the new passport and $25 for the new DL, I'm thinking it'll be the DL first! -

Post op protein.
Getting-used-to-new-me replied to mizznickie13's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wal-Mart does sell whey isolate, but not the Isopure brand. Their whey isolate is a Body Fortress brand too, about $5 more than the regular Body Fortress brand. And it only gives the same amount of protein grams per scoop as the regular brand. So, I just get the regular, one vanilla and one chocolate. -
How about some NSVs!?!?
Getting-used-to-new-me replied to shyanne's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know this is women's territory. But I'd like to share my own NSV, if I may. I was going through my old clothes, (mostly suit coats and sweaters), which I haven't worn for over ten years and found out they all fit! A couple of my suit coats could even be altered now to make them double-breasted! But my 19-year-old daughter saw me styling them and said "Ugh Dad, those are so '90's!" Little does she know they're actually '70's and '80's! Oh well, more donations for the thrift stores. -

It'll pass, eventually. Pouch pain is the biggest pain of all. -

I'm with you on all but chili. I like it in half-cup quantities, eaten slowly. -

Welcome! I was vegan pre-surgery. But since then I've tried to get in the protein however possible. I'm leaning back toward lacto-vegetarian, eating legumes and dairy for the protein. I just have such a hard time with pouch pain and meats. My nut says it's impossible to get enough vegan- only protein. The veggies I tolerate now are all soft, like tomatoes. I'm thinking my salads will be mostly soft, diced tomatoes with other soft, diced veggies.
