Recommended Posts

So far so good all I have left is my cardiologist and pulmonologist appointments left then its a matter of waiting for GHI so hopefully my surgery should be somewhere in late october yeah just in time for the Holidays! My Bariatric surgeon did mention I might have to take stomach meds along with my plavix so I dont get an ulcer down the road i dont know how I feel about this yet. Thanks Missy hope all is well with you.

I believe all RNY patients take Prilosec after surgery. My doctor says we may be able to stop them after 1 year.

I'm only 5 weeks out, have lost 37 lbs so far & absolutely don't regret my decision to have RNY gastric bypass! Absolutely the best decision I've ever made in my life. :) good luck with your decision.

Hi Chubbysey1

I'm new on this site too & I've been reading a lot on here as well! My doctor recommended the RNY to me as well. My first referral was denied because I have to take classes for 3 months. So I'll be starting Weight Watchers hopefully next week ((I've been waiting on the vouchers from my insurance & they should be here this week.)) Once I do the classes, they said my referral would be approved.....let's hope! I was leary all the way around about surgery too. My sister just recently had the Sleeve done & I thought that's what I wanted but after I seen her eat a slice of pizza ((and she just had surgery in Feb)) I thought to myself, Pizza is what got you fat to begin with, Why would you put that in your mouth! But with the Sleeve, she can eat pretty much anything (well, just has to limit the amount). That's when I knew I'd be better off with the RnY....i don't want to be fat again, I don't want to be able to eat a slice of pizza or anything else that got me to this weight. I'm glad everything is going good for you & I can't wait to read about your results! :)

Hey Missy great to here from you hope all is well. Thanks for checking on me' date=' it's going I' ll put it that way. I got my pulmonary clearance recently all I need is my cardiologist clearance and my endoscopy both scheduled for August oh and 3 more weigh-in's with my Nut. Looks like October or November for a surgery date. Starting to get a ill' nervous.[/quote']

Do your research.....this is the beginning of a new you.

I decided that i spent 30+ years eating unhealthy stuff it was time to eat healthy.

I did go through a food funeral before. Ate what i knew i couldnt have after surgery.

I focused on a healthy me.....skinny me.....

You got this. Hope you have a support system at home.

I've been using body fortress chocolate 60g of protien per serving it's not bad. Any recommendations? I hear tastes change after surgery so i'm going to ask my Nut. if she has any sample packs.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
