Genepro powder is awesome. 30 grams in a tiny scoop and it mixes great with hot tea. Not taste at all. I have 2 cups of tea a day to at least get my 60g without my food

I just eat the cheese off it. Bread fills u up too fast

Please make sure you really think about possible complications. I shrugged it off and I'm now the 1%. 6 weeks in the hospital, ventilator almost died. Not trying to talk you out but make sure you really understand what could happen.

Virginia hospital center in Arlington. Dr james mayes

Auri I'm doing better. Thanks. Quite an ordeal

Ad my surgery on June 26th. On June 28th I was rushed back to hospital and ended up having a twisted bowel. That turned into leaks and 7 surgeries later spent 1 week in ICU. I'm the 1% this happens to. I spent a month in the hospital. Have an appt with my dr tomorrow to hopefully get my 30+ staples out ( they gut me like a fish) and hopefully he will take out my feeding tube. I never thought this would happen. I know I will be happy eventually but my days are pretty depressing. Not saying don't get the surgery, just venting and letting y'all know what can really happen. I almost died for this

Good luck. Where are you located. I'm in front royal

Waiting for on call doc to call me. Got discharged yesterday after gastric bypass and hiatal hernia. Sitting in chair and got some sharp pains in my right thigh. Any suggestions

I had massive complications and I suggest not matter how far of a drive that you see a doctor ASAP.

Got the musclegen carol. No taste. Works good. Thank you so much

After my living nightmare of MY experience with gastric bypass and after all my surgeries and complications, I cannot get even close to the protein I need. My tummy hates the shakes and I can only eat a very small portion. Don't know what to do because I've had enough go wrong already and I can handle any more problems. 7 surgeries and over a month in the hospital and almost dying, I need something to go right. Any suggestions??????

Yes. Our problems are VERY rare

Mine was different though. I had major complications. Spent 6 wks in hospital. I had a twisted bowel and leak. Believe me you will know if it's major.

Thanks so much. I will try them carol

I had a similar pain and it was nothing. Call and ask your surgeon just to be safe

Elpa this was bypass

As of right now I would not get the surgery again but I'm sure in a few months I would say different. It's been very rough and very depressing. My worst thing is dealing with lower back pain from laying in a hospital bed for a month.

An I take a midol???

Well my surgery was a disaster. 7 surgeries, week in ICU and 1 month in the hospital. Almost died. Had the bypass, came home and after 1 day I had a twisted bowel. That turned into a leak and massive infection. I've been home for two weeks now and just started to feel a little better. Got my staples ( they had to gut me like a fish) out and took out my home feeding tube. This is not what I signed up for. I'm the 1%

Virginia hospital center in Arlington VA. Great hospital. They saved my life

Yup

Made me cry. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I already have depression and anxiety. It sucks. Hope you feel better too

How the hell ca. I get any water intake? I'm do busy trying to get enough protein.

I've only been home since yesterday evening but today had 2 episodes of loose stool. How much do you have to be having to show concern. I'm on all liquids so it's kinda hard to think I would have solid bm,s. Any thoughts

Pik~~ I had my bypass Thursday and I also had my days that I was terrified. Don't give up on it. I'm only 1 full day home post op but I'm glad I did it. They also found a huge hiatal hernia on me as well. The recovery will take longer but better to have it done all at once. You can do it
