sugar in slim fast shakes / dumping syndrome
dal101 replied to dal101's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Oooo, tbh protein shakes are good for convenience, but I gotta learn about my protein sources to stay healthy inthe long run. I need to weigh things and etc. I definately calorie count everything though. Dumping syndrome sounds like a neat deterrent for weight gain, but wouldnt want to get an episode of it in public though. -

Post op a couple of months down the line, I hope to be eating properly so my protein comes from solid foods and not protein shakes. But then again, I dont know what my eating habits are gonna be like in the future so... I am glad to hear dumping syndrome doesnt happen to everyone, guess I'll cross that bridge if it comes. -

I ordered a protein powder called Phd diet whey which has artificial sugars in it (I think!) , I have a feeling I wont react to it as say to something like slim fast which is higher in sugars and carbs. But yeah, I guess we'll see how it goes... -

Yeah, I think my dietitian mentioned diluting things that might be sweet, so diluting the slimfast might be the way to go. Althou I have now ordered a protein powder called Phd diet whey (chocolate) which is lower in sugar. I guess we will both see how it goes -

Hope you meet the goal and the nausea reduces for you. -
ANyone have Polycistic ovaries (PSO) ? Did anyone find after surgery , the weight loss helped with symptoms such as excessive body hair or other symptoms? I wonder if PSO makes you more prone to dumping symdrome since carbs and sugar is already problematic?

Hi I heard gastric bypass is slightly more effective in weight loss compared to the other surgeries? Is this true? During the honeymoon period, I am hoping to lose 14 pounds per month. How long does this honeymoon period last for?

regaining and undoing their surgery
dal101 posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Has anyone undone their surgery by regaining ? I am really scared of this happening . I am having a gastric bypass done at the end of Oct and I am self funding. I heard once u stretch your stomach by overeating, it wont shrink back. This would be the worst case scenario, undoing the hassle of surgery and wasting all that money. Thoughts? -
I want to believe this. As I love my fizzy drinks.

Hi everyone, I guess I do have unrealistic expectations for weight loss. I think I got too excited over the honeymoon period thing. Numbers are important to me, so not seeing the scales shift will probably get to me...I know that has to change. I think once I am post op, I will be more appreciative to not see it as a race.

Yes I am more of a junk food eater. I know the bypass wont kill cravings but will help with the malabsorption .

Is it best to avoid carbonated drinks because it stretches your stomach?
