4 month follow up yesterday (03/10/17)
pattycaketoo posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I had the bypass on 11/14/16 with zero complications. I'm so happy for that! I had my levels checked for the first time, the dr said everything came back on the higher end and that's great. On surgery day I was 341 as of yesterday I am 284. That's a total of 57 pounds gone! I lost the total weight of my granddaughter!!! I feel amazing. I have stopped taking BP meds along with cholesterol meds. I am no longer pre diabetic as my A1C is 5.3. I'm so happy I did this. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Very proud of myself and my family are amazed at the changes in not only my looks but my attitude. -

May be your gall bladder. -
Drinking water helps. Use crystal light if something similar. Gives you different flavors.

Lentil soup with tomato
pattycaketoo replied to Bogie61's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tomatoes are acidic and may be hard on the healing stomach. Plus if it has the peeling on and had seeds in it, those are hard to digest as well. -

25 grams of protein and only 4 carbs. I'm ok with that!

For 25 grams of protein and 4 carbs I'm good with it. They have different kinds also.

Please do. I'm curious as to how it'll turn out.

Protein bar

Walmart has them too. I love them! It reminds me of those sugar wafer cookies [emoji4]. -
If you take BP meds you may be ready for a change or either stopping it. I experienced the same thing and it was my BP dropping to much.

Slim fast high protein was on my list. Strawberries and creme was good.

I eat the Reese's, russel Stovers without trouble I'm a little over nine weeks out. I just don't eat a lot but it satisfies the sweet tooth [emoji4] -
I had RNY in Nov 2016. I also had the rumbling and gurgling as you. Sometimes it happens now. It's just our new stomachs digesting. We hear it because it's so much smaller then what we are used too.

I'm happy to say I am down 42 pounds and a pant size. Also down in the 200s. It's been years since I've been there! I'm glad I did this!! I've had no problems with anything.
