Can you see if your doctor's office sell liquid protein then you can add it to your fluids like I do that's the only way I can make sure I get my protein count then there after is add on protein. It's $30 at my doctors an come in different flavors like cherry, orange and grape an is very tart an syrupy? -

My doctors office sells liquid protein so I add 2 table spoons to all my bottle waters for the day so it's 27 grams of protein in each bottle I try an drink 3 32 ounce bottles which isn't hard for me now since I use the flavored non calorie non sugar non carb Kool aide packets on top of that I get protein from the foods I eat. I'm also a night drinker I never remember waking up and drinking I freeze my water during the day and sit it on my night stand by my bed an wake up an drink during the night, most mornings I look and it's gone an some mornings only half is gone. Try doing that if you get up to use the restroom during the night then take a few sips of water this adds liquids to your day -

Is RNY the same as Gastric Bypass? -
I had mines Aug 18th and just git to the point we're I could keep food down when I asked my doctor she said that my stomach may not have been ready for solid foods yet and to not worry an stay on soft an mushy an to slowly keep trying to eat solids so now it's been like 2 weeks were I'm eating solids and somethings I can only take a few bites and full then feel the need to up chuck and other foods stay down fine.... I started at 327 and im at 283 I'm at a stand still it's been 2 weeks but I'm thinking it's because I'm finely eating solids. I'm going to start lightly working out to see if that moves along the stand still but can't do much excercise do to back issues. I'm happy with the bypass so far I honestly thought I was going to loose weight way to fast like my father an cousin who look like a size 0. I first had the sleeve and loved it but later had complications do to another doctors error and almost died but this new surgeon said i had to have the bypass to salvage my stomach an feel better, Thank God for his grace and Mercy I am thankful for a second chance.....

Marcella young replied to AmyH62's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I too had the sleeve 2 years ago an suffered with severe acid reflex an they said only thing would save my stomach an asophagus was revision to bypass an i had it august 18th no more acid reflex but scared how small I will get because everyone in my family that had bypass is like a size 0 so far I'm 37 pounds down an they want me to start working out an i told the doctor I still can't hold solid foods down an she said she's not to much concerned with that as long as I stay hydrated lol but I am concerned all I can hold down is liquids an yogurt an i tried smashing avocado that stayed down -

Thinking about Gastric sleeve revision
Marcella young posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
So I Had My Gastric Sleeve Done IN June Of 2013 I STARTED Out At 327 An Got Down To 244 AS Of March 2014. I was hitting many obstacles an had a injury at work which made it to were i couldn't work out. I had many stalls an no longer loose weight an actually started gaining an now up to 271. After talking to my husband i sometimes think i never got the sleeve done the reason being is comparing everything to his. I never had the dye test done an wasn't loosing weight good. I was pretty much starving myself an was hungry all the time an even now when i eat i can eat a normal meal like someone that hasn't had it done. I emailed the doctors office that performed it because i now want some type of proof it was done. If it was done i wanna no why he left my sleeve big enough for me to not be able to get great weight loss like others an why did i not have the dye test done or they never called me for follow ups. Has anyone had anything simular like this happen to them an reconsidering a revision?
