High Protein Alternatives - Cereal, Chips, etc.
Bari_KS replied to BrigitteLM's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
1. Premier Protein Chocolate Almond Cereal (it is actually whey protein isolate flakes), it contains 20g protein in one cup of it. I like to mix it with Failife Nutrition chocolate shake (30g of protein). 2. Premier Protein Pancakes (I bought it in Sam's club) - I like it either with crunchy peanut butter or sugar-free raspberry jelly. 3. Oikos Pro yogurt (20g protein). -

Being a nurse with crazy hours
Bari_KS replied to ynotiniowa's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@ynotiniowa I'm a nurse working crazy hours in hospital too. Donuts, cookies, cupcakes and candy on every counter, that's a nurse's life at work, that's why I needed bariatric surgery...lol. I went to work after 6 weeks, so I was eating regular food and it was not so obvious to others. You will survive 12-16 hr shift by eating Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, boiled eggs, protein cereal with Fairlife protein shake, tuna pouches and prepackaged small containers with protein rich/nutrition foods (chicken, turkey, chili, veges etc). Wish you good luck and success! -

Try FitLife fat-free milk. It's ultra-pasturized and lactose free--plus it tastes good. It also froths like a dream. Google says FitLife milk is available in India only.

New here - Gastric Sleeve Bypass & Pre-surgical weight loss
Bari_KS replied to schla73's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I think she is talking about Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S). -
The first thing which came to my mind when you mentioned your love for Sonic ice was that craving for ice is associated with iron deficiency.

MyFitnessPal vs. Baritastic
Bari_KS replied to lizonaplane's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I don't have Fitbit anymore. I use smartwatch Samsung Galaxy active 2 and sync my steps to Baritastic by similar method described above (by syncing Baritastic with Samsung Health app). -

Bari_KS replied to lizonaplane's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
On the main page of Baritastic, next to your name click on three horizontal lines, then click on settings at the bottom. Then click on devices and apps. Click on connect a device, choose your fitbit. Good luck. -

This is good news. The real good news is the fact that Basic option pays $200 for a surgeon and $100 per night at the hospital. My VSG was considered outpatient (I stayed 23 hrs) so the total bill for surgery out of pocket was $300 only!

I like Pahla B Fittness on YouTube. Her videos are for women over 50 but are easy to follow. I'm 65 and like her exercises. https://pahlabfitness.com This is her website.

When was your letter submitted to insurance? Do you have basic or standard option? My FEP Blue Basic approved me in about 5days. Call them tomorrow, federal BCBS is very efficient. Goid luck.

Pain behind knee and now tingling from my knees to my foot
Bari_KS replied to Countrygirl2000's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
https://sixtyandme.com/back-knee-pain/ Have a look at this article. Most likely it is popliteal muscle strain. You can also look for popliteal muscle release on YouTube. Good luck.
