I was wondering if anyone heard about the high protein snacks like pretzels and crackers that I have seen online? They have 12 grams of protein I'm kinda sick of shakes. Thanks

You went from 333my to 228 in 10 days and they don't think you did great? Who cares what others did you are you and amazing. My bad typo was 233 then gained 11 pounds in hospital so was 244 when I got home

I am on full liquids now which includes sugar free pudding, blended yogurt and low fat creamed soups strained. So I skip the food at breakfast now and only have shake.

I was having the same problem. I spoke to the dr and he said it was fine for me to replace breakfast with a protein shake and do another after lunch so getting 60 grams a day from the shakes.

I know how you feel panic and depression. The doctor told me to stop weighting myself and I have to have my husband hide the scale. Only weight once a week and no more.

Went to the doctor for my post op visit. I'm 10 days out. My weight was 228 which I haven't seen in years. I was 233 at the hospital the day of surgery. I gained 11 pounds in the hospital from the IVs. The doc said people usually loose more then I did which upset me because he wasn't taking in my weight gain from the hospital. I'm not gonna lie it was very upsetting. I was hoping for a good job. ????????????

I am having a hard time getting in calories and protein as well so I omitted breakfast and just have a premier protein. It takes me about 90 minutes to finish it. If anyone there has Trader Joe's they have some fantastic soups that are completely puréed and you don't even need to strain them. I bought a corn chowder that was fantastic it comes in a box and also a tomato roasted red pepper.

I feel ok. Not great. Having a hard time getting fluids in and have a good amount of pain from them inflating my stomach. I gained 11 pounds in hospital from IV's which is coming off. I guess I was expecting to feel much better so I'm a little depressed.

I am having a hard time as well getting my fluids in. The protein shakes feel like lead in my stomach when I try to drink them. I don't know about anyone else but I feel exhausted all the time. Feeling very sad now and teary

Well I finally came home tonight but the gas/stomach pains are horrible. Lucky that I'm not nauseous that I was scared of. I just can't wait to feel better

I cleaned up my desk at work so my coworkers would think I'm a slob lol

Good luck everyone. My surgeon said I will be 1-2 night in the hospital.

I had a sleeve in Feb of last year. Starting in June/July I developed really bad GERD/Reflux Its so bad I just bend over and acid comes up. I tried all the meds, repositioning of the bed, changing diet., but nothing worked. I had a tons of testing and my surgeon decided to do a bypass because that is suppose to fix it.s That makes sense. I am so sorry you have GERD so bad. I know first hand how horrible it is. Wishing you the best of luck with your bypass. You will do great.
