    Protein powders/drinks/ideas

    Hi, I've tried many Protein Powder products and you're right some of them are disgusting. The one that I found that I think is the best is "Protein Milk shake Bar". They have a variety of flavors, it's not gritty, no aftertaste. I mix mine with 1% milk & one day I ran out of milk and it said you could mix it with water, and I thought UGH, BUT I used the water and to my surprise it was actually good! It has 22g protein, and is 119 calories. I just love this product. Here is their website www.proteinmilkshakebar.com, phone 1-888-582-2580. Good Luck!!!!

    Burping a ton after surgery

    Hi, I am 18 months out of RNY and I still burp after eating, and yes it hurts but once it's out it feels a lot better. I guess it's just something we have to put up with! I can't speak for the people who have to be around us, but I have no regrets for having the surgery and you have to keep a sense of humor!

    No protein until 3 weeks out?

    Hi, I started drinking protein 3 days after surgery, no problems with nausea. If that's his only concern I would just try it & if you have a problem then stop & wait the 3 weeks. Good Luck!

    STALLED FOR ONE MONTH!

    bypass witch, what is a 5 day pouch test?
  10. If you are RNY have you considered having the pouch loosened up? I vomited everything for the first three months and then he did a loosening of the pouch and problem was solved, but your weight loss will drop off some.

    Hair by the strands

    Hi, don't panic it's normal. Mine is finally tapering off. I was shedding like a St. Bernard! Mine lasted about 10 months, drove me crazy, I left a trail wherever I went! It was quite the experience. Mine was coming out so fast & furious I thought I was going to end up at some hair transplant club, Lol. Just go with it, smile and it will stop. I can tell you this but you won't fully believe it until it actually stops. Best wishes & hang in there, keep a sense of humor about it & you'll be ok!!

    How do you get out of a stall?

    I'm having the same problem! Any suggestions would really be appreciated. One note: After surgery I kept throwing up, this went on for 3 months. He finally did an Endoscopy & loosened the pouch. No more throwing up, but weight loss dropped off. Do you think I need to get it tightened up?

    Oranges 1 month pre-op

    Hi, Yes I was about 2 months post op and I craved and ate a clementine! OMG I thought I was gonna die. I'm 15 months post op now and have no desire for anything that resembles a clementine. Also I used to love pasta & rice, I can no longer tolerate them. I try to eat them and Up they Come! So I'm leaving that alone for awhile, Lol.

    Complication after complication. [emoji22]

    Hi, sorry you are having all these issues. I had an issue with throwing up every time I ate something for 3 months after surgery. My surgeon did an endo and loosened the pouch opening a little. I've had no problems since. Good Luck to you, and make those medical people pay attention to you. You deserve the best!

    Cruise booked....now what?

    One of my biggest challenges was reintroducing foods in to my diet. Eventually everything worked out but I used to love rice & if I think about rice now, UGH and pasta, can't get pasta to stay down & it's been over a year. You just have to go slow & try try again!
