    Got any recipes for frozen protein pops?

    I used a few frozen strawberries, ice, premier protein flavor strawberry and cream, Splenda and Then I added more unflavored protein to it.... And blended all.... I divided them in portions and put them back on the freezer. After 10 mins out of fridge it feels like ice cream lol

    I have one incision that really hurts me a lot, and it is on my right side. When I woke up and the swelling when down a little, I notice I had that incision sunken into my tummy and it still feels weird. The doctor said he put the "knife/stapler" through there and because he used that area the most he attached it to my muscle to prevent a hernia in the future.

    Calcium citrate - lemon cheesecake

    Do you know about any other brand name that taste the same? Creamy I don't like the other ones that much because they are a little chalky
  11. I finally found a Calcium citrate that is delicious! Very creamy and it taste just like lemon cheesecake. Have you guys try these?
  12. I thought the Calcium had to be taken separate from the Iron and because this one has everything in one I was concerned about that. Thank you!
  13. I am on my pre-surgery journey. Surgery will be in couple of weeks and I have been searching for Vitamins. I found this item in Walgreens which states is specifically for Bariatric surgery patients. Have any of you tried this brand?
  14. I ask my nutritionist and dr office and they have never hear about it before.

    New Shakes!

    Sugars is 18g and I think that is too high. Just lie the previous comment the eas low carb and Adkins are good. There is a section in Walmart for diabetics where the have all the shakes that are low in carb.

    How long?

    I haven't have my surgery yet, but my nutritionist gave me the whole diet for 3 months, day 3-5 clear liquids, then 2 weeks on full liquids, and after that 4 weeks on puree.... Etc.

    Lack of Support

    Hello traveler, I was going through the same, you are not alone. At work they were telling me that "I'm too young to be having a surgery", "why don't you do a diet like a normal person" "having surgery is extreme "....It's hard to hear these comments specially from the ones you love. As of today my dad and my boyfriend don't want me to do it. But, I still want to do it. People are going to talk about you no matter what you do. But, only we know that is not as easy as they paint it. Don't ask them if they are ok with your surgery tell them how you feel and for them to support you. Be sure your self why you want to do it. Do it for you! And ask yourself :"If i don't do it am I willing to live the rest of my life like this? " Or are you willing to do something that is risky but that at the same time will give you in the future all you want! you will be fine (:

    My mind can't decide what to do!

    Hey guys! I had the same issue long time ago, I didn't know what to Choose, but I did my research about why the duodenum was so important in this RNY surgery and a doctor (pathologist) helped me understand why. Two days ago I did a quick video about why I chose RNY. Here is the link. Is my second video and I think I'm not good at it but. You are welcome to here my side and comment if you have a different opinion. http://youtu.be/HRObasakuik
