CINNAMON 2015

Hi, I had my by pass May 2015, for 3 months I vomited everything, I was miserable. In Aug. 2015 my surgeon did an Endoscopy and loosened the pouch a little and I've been fine ever since. Might be something to think about. Good Luck!

I'm 11 months out and my hair is still falling out & breaking off. Every time I brush my hair I cringe. I've been told it will stop and I'm still waiting. Damn! I certainly feel for you.

Oh so sorry to hear that. They told me to keep Imodium on hand. If it was dumping syndrome I think you would be having sweating & nausea & light headedness also. Good luck!

Fantastic!!!!

Yes, I tried the variety case first, some flavors I didn't care for. But I love the Blue Raspberry, buy it by the case. It is great! It's delicious, no aftertaste! Just an added tip, as far as the powdered protein, Milk shake Bar protein drinks are very good. My favorites are Vanilla Caramel & Rocky Road. You can use with milk or water and they are delicious, no aftertaste & not gritty. They are available at Amazon 3.6 carbs, 2.6 sugars, 119 calories, 22 protein. Hope this helps!

I didn't have that test, but had RNY last May & had to have Carpal Tunnel surgery a few weeks ago. I was told we can't be intubated the regular way so they opted for I.V. Twilight Sleep & that worked just fine. I also wear a Medic Alert bracelet listing the gastric by pass. Hope that helps a little!

Hi Dawn, I used protein shakes, the brand Protein Milk Shake Bar has a lot of good flavors. I also used Unjury, they have like 22g of protein and you can mix with 1% milk or water believe it or not and they are good. There is also a drink by Isopure, I get Blue Raspberry, there is 40g protein in a 20oz bottle, it's very good. I had my RNY in May 2015. Good luck sweetie, we are all with you!

Hi, I had the by pass in May and threw up almost everything until Aug. when he went back in and loosened the pouch a little. Been fine ever since.

I know right after RNY they said you could not eat & drink at the same time, but is that forever? I've put a couple of pounds back on & I wonder if that is why. I'm going to do what I have to do. Thank you

Hi, yes I had the RNY done for severe gastric reflux. I suffered so many years and the acid did a lot of damage. I was a little shocked when they suggested the surgery, so I researched it had a consult with all my Dr.'s. So i felt confident, best thing I have ever done. No more acid, pain, food involuntarily coming up. I have no regrets what so ever!

Hi, had my RNY in May 2015. Only dumped once from drinking a shake too fast! Never did that again. My biggest issue was throwing up, meds did not help. So 3 months later my surgeon did an Endoscopy and loosened the pouch a little. No problems since. I have sugar free popsicles & fudgesicles with no problems. I did eat a clementine once after surgery & I thought I was gonna die OMG. Have no desire to try that again. You just have to re introduce foods and sometimes more than once slowly. Portion control plates can help also. It's just a slow process, but well worth it. Good Luck!!

Hi Maria, The brand I use is called Protein Milk shake Bar. I really like the flavors of vanilla Caramel & Rocky Road. It has 22g of protein, 2.7g of sugar, 4.1g carbs. One cup of milk, one scoop of powder, the bonus is one day I ran out of milk and it says you can mix with Water, so I mixed it with water & I thought oh man this is gonna suck, but to my delighted surprise it was good. That's how I drink it now. There is no aftertaste with this protein powder. They have many other flavors but these are my favorites. I bought them off of Amazon. I also bought some drinks, Isopure, the blue raspberry is the best, and in a 20oz. bottle there is 40g of protein and zero carbs. I hope this helps you!!

Hi, are you eating or drinking your Protein first? Drinking a lot of Water? If not try that & see if that helps. Try & exercise too. Good Luck !

I only had it happen once, in the very beginning from drinking a shake to fast. Was on the commode for quite a while. Never did that again!

Oh Lord, I tried one of these just to see, it was a senior sight as I am not a cougar. But the pics they sent me…OMG they all looked like a bunch of wrinkled up serial killers!! Got out of that real quick, Ugh!

Thank you so much esskay77, you've been most helpful. My profile has my surgery date wrong, my RNY was May 2015

So do you think my weight loss will start up again? Thank you for your answer!

English Muffin, Coffee, Fruit, Maybe a high protein tv dinner, My protein shakes. But what I'm mainly interested in is the liquid & food together or not. Thanks

I'm 7 months post op and my hair is falling out too!
