I'm starting to think I have an allergy to whey Protein Isolate. I'm 4 weeks post op and find it harder and harder to tolerate. I'm weak and might be dehydrated too because I get the shakes, flushed, hot and cold and nauseated when I drink the Protein shake. Do you think it makes you more dehydrated? Did anyone ever have the same complication? I have no idea what I'm to do- Is there any alternate. I think soy is not so good for you either. Does anyone have any ideas.

So, DL, you had your surgery quite a while back which gives you a great deal of experience to share with the rest of us. I hope you don't mind me asking you a few questions.

Are you glad you went the by pass way? What do you feel best about the process? If you could share with the rest of us not yet there one thing you consider essential what would that be? Knowing what you do now is there anything you would do differently?

Thank you in advance for considering these questions.

Good morning Nancy. I'm more than happy to answer any questions.

• If I were making the surgery decision today, I would make exactly the same decision to go with the bypass. I would do it again without a moments hesitation. That said, the sleeve is a safe and effective option that many have had great success with. In my case, I had a history of acid reflux which was completely eliminated with the bypass.
• Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, high cholesterol, knee and back pain and 130 lbs - all gone. Vitamin and mineral profile is spot on across the board. I'm walking five miles, at least three times a week. And doing strength training (Total Gym), at least three times a week. I can go into any store, anywhere, anytime and buy clothes from a mind boggling selection. I'm healthy, I'm happy and I'm lovin' the new me!
• Follow your plan as closely to the letter as you possibly can. Regardless of what your weight is doing, your response is a l w a y s the same - follow your plan. Stay positive. Stay patient. Exercise to your ability. Trust the process. Trust your body. Your goal is physical change but your challenge is mental discipline. Almost as important - maintain a food log. I've been logging in MFP for over two and a half years and I would be lost without it. Logging allows you to manage your weight like no other tool that I am aware of. My weight went from 285 to 155 in just under 14 months. In the year and a half since, my weight has never been below 151 or above 156. This morning it was 154. That's the power of logging.
• I tried, I really gave it some thought. But in all honesty - I don't know of anything I would have done differently. Other than having the surgery twenty years earlier!

You guys have a great weekend! You're gonna love the new you!
