It has been almost 4 years since i had gastric bypass surgery. I feel so frustrated because i had no support team after my surgery. The day of surgery i was 345 and today i am 250. I have a 17 month old who was born with some nutritional issues due to my gastric bypass. I feel out of control with my eating...it seams like after that first year i was able to eat whatever i wanted and thats what i have been doing. I need to get back on track but i dont know how or where to start. I have tried the Protein Shakes and hate them...i have busy lifestyle so i need quick meals....i just really feel defeated. I will be 30 in September and my goal is a size 14, i am now a 22. Any tips would be much appreciated. Oh another thing...i cant workout because i just had acl surgery.

I would get back on track by first looking at what you are eating and start by eliminating all the fattening things. Once you are healed from your ACL surgery I would start walking or do some sort of exercise, maybe have your ortho. dr. suggest something. The key is diet and exercise.

I'll be honest with you that no matter what I knew and what support I received, nothing helped me like seeing the nutritianist. Yes, I probably knew more about my own body and helth than she did - but something about seeing her HELPED and I dropped 40 lbs after her meal plan and support, despite all that I knew.

Are you able to go see a WLS-specific Nutritianist? Can your surgeon recommend one?

I think that is great idea to go back to the nut!! I've been stuck for a while myself. I even heard there were procedure that they could do inside your stomach to make you feel full again.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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...

        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.
